Abstract
Several techniques allow the detection of protein–protein interactions. In vivo co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) studies are an important complement to other commonly used techniques such as yeast two-hybrid or fluorescence complementation, as they reveal interactions between functional proteins at physiological relevant concentrations. Here, we describe an in vivo Co-IP approach using either GFP affinity matrix or specific antibodies to purify proteins of interests and their interacting partners.
