Saturated Fatty Acids Induce Ceramide-associated Macrophage Cell Death

We illustrate a straight-forward method to derive murine primary macrophages from bone marrow cells and a simple method to prepare BSA-fatty acid conjugates. Then we demonstrate that saturated fatty acids can induce macrophage cell death, and such cell death is positively associated with cellular accumulation of ceramide...

Visualization of Protein-protein Interaction in Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Fractions by Co-immunoprecipitation and In Situ Proximity Ligation Assay

Protein-protein interactions can occur in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm of a cell. To investigate these interactions, traditional co-immunoprecipitation and modern proximity ligation assay are applied. In this study, we compare these two methods to visualize the distribution of NF90-RBM3 interactions in the nucleus and the...

Detection of Protein-Protein Interactions in Drosophila Larvae Using a Proximity Ligation Assay

This video demonstrates the visualization of protein-protein interactions at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) using Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA). After isolating the body walls, interacting proteins are probed with primary antibodies and PLA-conjugated secondary antibodies. The proximity of the interacting proteins facilitates the ligation of probes with connector oligonucleotides, forming circular DNA, which is then amplified by rolling circle amplification. Fluorescent probes...

Lipid Vesicle-mediated Affinity Chromatography using Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting (LIMACS): a Novel Method to Analyze Protein-lipid Interaction

To test the interaction of a protein with its target lipid we used MACS and Annexin V-conjugated magnetic beads and lipid vesicles synthesized from the target lipid and Annexin V-binding phosphatidylserine. Proteins bound to the target lipid are co-purified and analyzed after elution from the...
