Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.

Physical association of moesin and CD46 as a receptor complex for measles virus.

Schneider-Schaulies J, Dunster LM, Schwartz-Albiez R, Krohne G, ter Meulen V

Recently, two cellular membrane proteins, the membrane cofactor protein CD46 and the membrane-organizing external spike protein, moesin, have been identified to be functionally associated with measles virus (MV) infectivity of cells. We investigated the functional consequences of binding of monoclonal antibodies to both molecules individually and combined on MV attachment, fusion, and plaque formation and the putative direct physical interaction ...
