Abstract

Immunoprecipitations are commonly used to isolate proteins or protein complexes and assess protein-protein interactions; however, they can also be used to assess protein-RNA complexes. Here we describe an adapted RNA immunoprecipitation technique that permits the quantification of RNA content in Ebola virus nucleocapsids that have been reconstituted in vitro by transient transfection.
