Coimmunoprecipitation is most commonly used to test whether two proteins of interest are associated in vivo, but it can also be used to identify novel interacting partners of a target protein. In both cases, the cells, which may have been labeled with [35S]methionine, are harvested and lysed under conditions that preserve protein-protein interactions. The target protein is specifically immunoprecipitated from the cell extracts, and the immunoprecipitates are fractionated by SDS-PAGE. - [Read Identification of Associated Proteins by Coimmunoprecipitation Protocol]

Protocol describes how tagged Mos kinase is translated in vitro, immunopurified, and used in a kinase assay. Protocol includes: Translation of Xenopus Mos Kinase; Antibody to Antigen Binding; Protein A Sepharose to Antibody Binding; Kinase Reactions on Immunoprecipitated Material; Polyacrylamide Gel Analysis of Immunoprecipitates. Includes protocol hints. - [Read Kinase Assay Using In Vitro Translated Xenopus Mos Kinase]
