The plasmids were modified in the lab and proteins were made from these plasmids using the coupled transcription/translation system. The techniques used were Co-Immunoprecipitation and Western Blot. The result shows interesting and unexpected interactions between LXR-beta and ER-alpha variants. More study is needed to measure the specific affinity of LXR-beta to each ER-alpha variant and the effect of these complexes.en-USThe author of this work is the copyright owner.
