This volume covers various aspects of co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP) methods and its relevant use in studying protein-protein interactions (PPIs) in health and diseases of the Central Nervous System. The chapters in this book discuss topics such as using co-IP to detect G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR), receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and ion channels heteroreceptor complexes in brain tissue; the histoblot technique; interaction strength between synaptic proteins using COS-7; and co-IP analysis of the protein-protein interactions in the neurons of Polymita. In Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful results in your laboratory.

Cutting-edge and thorough, Co-Immunoprecipitation Methods for Brain Tissue is a valuable resource for any researcher interesting in learning more about this developing field.
