Protein Membrane Overlay Assay: A Protocol to Test Interaction Between Soluble and Insoluble Proteins in vitro
Shoko Ueki 1, Benoît Lacroix 1, Vitaly Citovsky 1
1Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, State University of New York

Testing protein-protein interaction is indispensable for dissection of protein functionality. Here, we introduce an in vitro protein-protein binding assay to probe a membrane-immobilized protein with a soluble protein. This assay provides a reliable method to test interaction between an insoluble protein and a protein in solution.

We describe a method for generating transformed B cell lines using Epstein-Barr virus. We also illustrate a novel assay that can identify B cells destined to undergo transformation as early as three days after infection.

Protocol for the Synthesis of Ortho-trifluoromethoxylated Aniline Derivatives
Pengju Feng 1,2, Ming-Yu Ngai 1,2
1Department of Chemistry, State University of New York at Stony Brook, 2Institute of Chemical Biology and Drug Discovery, State University of New York at Stony Brook

An operationally simple procedure for the synthesis of ortho-trifluoromethoxylated aniline derivatives via a two-step sequence of O-trifluoromethylation of N-aryl-N-hydroxyacetamide followed by thermally induced intramolecular OCF3-migration is reported.

Optimization of a Quantitative Micro-neutralization Assay
Yipu Lin 1, Yan Gu 1, John W. McCauley 1
1Mill Hill Laboratory, The Francis Crick Institute

This study describes an imaging-based micro-neutralization assay to analyze the antigenic relationships between viruses. The protocol employs a flatbed scanner and has four steps, including titration, titration quantitation, neutralization, and neutralization quantitation. The assay works well with current circulating influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2), and B viruses.
