Self-assembly of proximity probes for flexible and modular proximity ligation assays

• Proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a recently developed strategy for protein analysis in which antibody-based detection of a target protein via a DNA ligation reaction of oligonucleotides linked to the antibodies results in the formation of an amplifiable DNA strand suitable for analysis. Here we describe a faster and more cost-effective strategy to construct the antibody-based proximity ligation probes used in PLA that is based on the noncovalent interaction of biotinylated oligonucleotides with streptavidin followed by the interaction of this complex with biotinylated antibodies.
