Abstract

One key step in the activation of inducible transcription factors is their homooligomerization, which can be measured in individual living cells by a fluorescence microscopy technique called Number and Brightness analysis (N&B). In this chapter we describe how to acquire and analyze confocal microscopy time-series to provide information about transcription factor oligomerization in living cells using this technique.
