Please join us for our MBC BioLabs Virtual Seminar with MilliporeSigma
Proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a powerful approach to probe for endogenous protein protein interactions and post-translational modifications in cell and tissue samples. The approach is methodologically similar to immuno-fluorescence, and requires two antibodies that target non-overlapping epitopes of a protein complex within ~40nm of each other. The approach is compatible with a wide array of formats including high content screening and flow cytometry but requires no specialized imaging platform. To date PLA has been published in over 1000 peer-reviewed papers. MilliporeSigma has developed a wide array of versatile reagents to aid researchers in developing a PLA experimental workflow and has a team of dedicated scientists that can perform validation services for new users and projects.
