This protocol details sample preparation and measurement procedures for a fluorescence technology capable of colocalizing hundreds of different proteins in a cell or tissue section. The procedure relies on fixation of samples and on the use of dye-conjugated tag libraries. To colocalize proteins, a sample is placed on the microscope stage of an imaging system (toponome imaging system (TIS)) performing sequential cycles of tag-dye incubation, imaging and bleaching to generate images for each localization cycle. TIS overcomes the spectral limitations of traditional fluorescence microscopy. Image processing reveals toponome maps, uncovering the coexistence of proteins at a location (protein clusters). The approach provides direct insight into the topological organization of proteins on a proteomic scale for the first time. If, for example, two dyes are used per cycle, 18 proteins in 4 visual fields can be colocalized in 21 h. Parallel TIS procedures using more than two dyes per cycle enhance the throughput.
