Questions and Answers

______ is a hybridization technique by which a macromolecule such as DNA, RNA, or protein is resolved in a gel matrix, transferred to a solid support, and detected with a specific probe

Blotting

______ (1981) is an Immunoblotting technique which rely on the specificity of binding between a protein of interest and a probe (antibody raised against that particular protein) to allow detection of the protein (cell, tissue, organ, or body fluid) of interest in a mixture of many other similar molecules

Study Notes

Western Blotting Technique

  • Western blotting is a hybridization technique used to resolve and detect macromolecules like DNA, RNA, or proteins in a gel matrix, transferred to a solid support.

Immunoblotting

  • Developed in 1981, Immunoblotting is a Western blotting technique that relies on the specificity of binding between a protein of interest and a probe (antibody) to detect the protein in a mixture of similar molecules.

Sample Preparation for Western Blotting

  • Various sources of protein can be analyzed using Western blotting, including whole tissues, biological fluids, and secreted proteins in vitro.
  • Sample preparation involves disrupting cellular membranes and solubilizing target proteins using detergents, salts, and chemical lysis buffers like Tris-HCI.

Western Blotting Protocol

  • The Western blotting protocol consists of six steps:
    • Sample preparation
    • Blotting (or transfer)
    • Blocking
    • Antibody probing
    • Detection
