Cell-surface proteins (CSPs) play a central role in intercellular communication. Here, we outline a protocol for the cell-type-specific proteomic profiling of CSPs in mice based on horseradish peroxidase (HRP). We describe steps for adeno-associated virus (AAV) injection, biotinylation reaction, tissue homogenization, streptavidin pull-down, and mass spectrometry characterization, followed by quality control and data interpretation. This approach enables systematic identification of CSPs underlying cell-cell interactions in health and disease. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wu et al.1.

Western Blotting
The technique begins with separating proteins from the sample using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), followed by protein transfer, immunoblotting, and finally, protein detection.
Labeling DNA Probes
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...
