The Duolink® kit from Olink Bioscience enables researchers to use existing antibodies to detect single molecular events, such as protein interactions in unmodified cells and tissue sections. Duolink is based on in situ PLA™ which has the resolution and sensitivity to visualize post-translational modifications and protein interactions, which are fundamental processes in cell signaling pathways.
