[Image: see text] A nuclear protein target, polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) was imaged using a biocompatible bioorthogonal ligation between a specific drug and a fluorescent dye in live cells. Colocalization of the dye and the protein target was confirmed by antibody staining and by expressing a GFP construct of PLK1. The two-step PLK1 imaging procedure was used to quantify PLK1 expression levels in cancer cell lines of various tissue origins.
[图片:见正文]利用活细胞中特定药物与荧光染料之间的生物正交连接,对核蛋白靶标丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶 PLK1 进行了成像。通过抗体染色和表达 GFP 构建体的 PLK1 证实了染料和蛋白质靶标的共定位。两步法 PLK1 成像程序用于定量各种组织来源的癌细胞系中的 PLK1 表达水平。
