Abstract
Proximity ligation assay (PLA) is a newly developed technique that outperforms the traditional immunoassays for visualizing the in situ endogenous protein-protein interactions and localizations and the activation of proteins in cell culture systems as well as in tissue sections. PLA, when combined with cellular marker staining, becomes a powerful approach to identify differential interaction of the proteins of endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) at distinct stages of virus infection. In this chapter, we describe a PLA protocol to study the localization and interaction between the ESCRT protein TSG101 and endosomal markers in early stages of viral endocytosis in in vitro infected cells.Entities:
