Duolink™ PLA Control Kit - PPI Control Kit to reliably detect
Duolink™ PLA Control Kits are intended for use with Duolink™ PLA reagents to ensure proper function of reagents and Duolink™ PLA staining technique.
Based on proximity ligation assay (PLA), the Duolink™ PLA Technology allows for endogenous detection of protein interactions, post-translational modifications, and protein expression levels at the single molecule level in fixed cells.
Duolink™ PLA Control Kit - PPI is designed to allows users to gain confidence with the Duolink™ PLA technology. This Kit contains glass slides with fixed, treated cells and a specific pair of primary antibodies that will detect interacting proteins
and reliably generate PLA signals when used with the complementary Duolink™ PLA probes and detection reagents. Analysis is carried out using standard immunofluorescence assay equipment.
Specificity
This kit will enable
the detection of Protein-Protein interactions. The SK-OV-3 cells contain HER2 and EGFR, which show increased interaction upon treatment with EGF. When combined with appropriate Duolink™ PLA Reagents, the Control Kit will enable the successful
detection of increased HER2 and EGFR protein interactions in the EGF treated cells.
Application note
In the Duolink™ PLA Control Kit, the cells and antibodies are provided, and the conditions have been optimized. When combined
with the necessary Duolink™ PLA reagents, you will have all you need to successfully perform the PLA experiment and obtain positive results.
The Control kit contains Duolink™ PLA Control Slides (Cat. No. DUO82202) - two
8 well glass slides with fixed SK-OV3 Human ovarian cancer cells. The cells were treated with EGF, to induce EGFR and HER2 interaction. The Kit also contains one vial of Anti-HER2 antibody produced in rabbit (HPA001383), and one vial of Monoclonal
Anti-EGFR antibody produced in mouse (E3138) – the two primary antibodies you need to detect the two interacting protein
