Supplies Required a.Streptavidin labeled oligonuleotides - This assay utilizes oligonucleotides, not to exceed 75 nucleotides in length, which is chemically conjugated to a streptavidin molecule and then purified by size-exclusion. The specific oligonucleotide sequence used is supplied by our laboratory. The oligonucleotide is then synthesized with an animo group coupled to the appropriate end. Using proprietary chemistry, the streptavidin molecule is then chemically conjugated to the amino terminus of the oligonucleotide. The streptavidin labeled oligo is then purified. These labeled oligonucleotides are then used in the PLA. b.Biotin labeled antibodies- This assay also utilizes antibodies which are chemically conjugated to antibodies. The specific antibodies used are located in our laboratory. c.Direct labeling of oligonucleotides - Antibodies can also be directly labeled to amino-modified oligonucleotides. The conjugation of antibodies to amino-modified oligonucleotide can be done in-house. Oligonucleotide sequence to be provided by laboratory, not to exceed 75 amino acids in length.
