The interactions between SARS-CoV 8a, 8b and 8ab with other viral proteins were determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiments

These proteins were immunoprecipitated using myc-polyclonal antibody and protein A-agarose.
These proteins were co-expressed with the bait proteins and co-immunoprecipitation experiments were performed to be determined if they could bind the bait proteins. The strengths of the binding were classified as strong, weak or no interaction.
