Overlay assay

Overlay assay

An overlay assay is a biological technique used to find proteins that bind to a protein of interest. It begins with proteins that are dispersed but fixed (e.g. a tissue slice or run on a membrane by gel electrophoresis) and then incubated in the labelled protein of interest. The label will indicate the location of proteins that bind to the protein of interest.
