Detection of G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPCR) Dimerization by Coimmunoprecipitation - Methods in Cell Biology - page 330

In summary, we can say that coimmunoprecipitation is a straightforward way to
study protein-protein interactions and, when a good antibody is available, in vivo
applications are possible.
