Indirect Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) – Brightfield

Output Details

Indirect Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) is a powerful molecular technique used to detect and visualize protein-protein interactions, protein modifications, and protein complex formations within cells or tissues. This method is based on the principles of proximity-dependent ligation and utilizes specific antibodies to detect the nitration of proteins on free-floating brain sections. Here we describe the PLA protocol that we routinely use in our laboratory to detect nitrated alpha-synuclein and nitration of mitochondrial enzymes such as SOD2 and the mitochondrial complex 1 subunit NDUFB8.
