Off the top of my head:
* Two-hybrid system and its recent modifications
* Coimmunoprecipitation
* Far western blotting
* BIAcore technology
* ELISA
* Analytical gel filtration
Many of these technologies are variations on a theme: one protein is
immobilized, and the interaction of the second protein with the solid
phase is detected. Analytical gel filtration detects protein-protein
interaction in liquid phase, but the affinity must be quite high to
find the complex. Two-hybrid system is a genetic in vivo approach.
