Relying on an inhibitor-based probe, we reveal the clustered distribution of membrane PSMA by dSTORM imaging and uncover its potential interaction with folate receptor. This inhibitor-based strategy realizes more accurate labeling than antibody labeling, which would make it a powerful tool in the field of dSTORM imaging.

Tetraspanin proteins are closely associated with high-curvature membrane structures and play key roles in organizing membrane domains and regulating membrane signaling in immune cells. However, their specific roles in regulating T cell membrane signaling, particularly within the microvilli often characteristic of these cells, remain poorly understood. Here, we used Jurkat T cells as a model system and investigated CD81 as a member of the tetraspanin family.

Immunotherapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease would be facilitated by better measures of inflammation. Here we established an ultra-sensitive single-molecule pull-down immunoassay combined with direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) to measure the number, size and shape of individual extracellular inflammasome ASC specks. We assayed human post-mortem brain, serum and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's as well as healthy elderly.

In this work, standard EV particles were characterized for single CD9, single CD81 or double CD9/CD81 tetraspanin molecule positivity with two single EV analytic technologies in order to optimize their EV sample preparation after antibody labelling and analysis methods: NanoImager for direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM)-based EV imaging and characterization, and Flow NanoAnalyzer for flow-based EV quantification and characterization. False positives from antibody aggregates were found during dSTORM-based NanoImager imaging.

Article Synopsis
- DDR1 is a transmembrane protein that plays a key role in tumor development, particularly in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- The study revealed that DDR1 clusters are larger and more numerous in cancer cells compared to normal cells, enhancing interactions with the SRC protein which activates the SRC-STAT3 signaling pathway.
- Findings suggest that DDR1's clustering contributes to tumor growth and positions it as a potential tumor marker for future drug development.

Article Synopsis
- Fluorescence microscopy has been a key technique in biological sciences, but traditional methods are often limited to a few targets using primary and fluorescently conjugated secondary antibodies.
- New super-resolution techniques like Exchange-PAINT and SUM-PAINT allow for higher multiplexing but require specialized equipment and expertise.
- The newly developed NanoPlex method improves multiplexing accessibility by using engineered secondary nanobodies to selectively remove fluorescence signals, allowing for the analysis of up to 21 targets in 3D confocal imaging and 5-8 targets in advanced super-resolution techniques.
