Description
Application
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® flowPLA Starter Kits will enable sensitive detection of proteins, protein-protein interactions, and protein modifications within cell populations by flow cytometry. To perform a Duolink® flowPLA experiment, you will need fixed, suspended cells, two primary antibodies that specifically recognize your proteins of interest and the Duolink® flowPLA starter Kit. The flowPLA Starter Kits are available with 3 different fluorophores: Violet, Green, and FarRed. The flowPLA starter Kits contain all the necessary reagents reagents for 100 Duolink® PLA reactions, including a pair of PLA probes (Anti-Rabbit PLUS and Anti-Mouse MINUS) and all the reagents to perform the amplification and detection of bound PLA probes by flow cytometry. Analysis is carried out using standard flow cytometry assay equipment. User must provide a fixed cell suspension, (rabbit and mouse-raised) primary antibodies, and corresponding PLA Probes.
Follow the Duolink® PLA Flow Cytometry Protocol to use this product.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Green Fluorescence Detection Reagents
Use appropriate laser for λex 495 nm excitation.
Use appropriate filter for λem 527 nm emission.
Application Note
Primary antibodies are needed. Test your primary antibodies (IgG-class, mono- or polyclonal) in a standard immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry (IHC), or immunocytochemistry (ICC) assay to determine the optimal fixation, blocking, and titer conditions. Flow validated antibodies are recommended.
