Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of stacking the gel on top of a membrane after the initial electrophoresis?

  • To amplify the signal from secondary antibodies
  • To block the membrane with an inert protein
  • To migrate protein bands onto the membrane (correct)
  • To expose the membrane to primary antibodies
  • What is the function of the inert protein used in blocking the membrane?

  • Bind all areas of the membrane not already bound by protein bands (correct)
  • Amplify the signal from primary antibodies
  • Prevent migration of proteins on the gel
  • Enhance the enzymatic reaction of the secondary antibodies
  • What is the purpose of exposing the membrane to primary antibodies specific to the protein of interest in a Western blot?

  • Amplify the signal from secondary antibodies
  • Bind specifically to the primary antibodies (correct)
  • Couple to an enzyme system
  • Remove unbound antibodies
  • What kind of reaction does the covalently linked enzyme (e.g., horseradish peroxidase) perform in Western blot upon addition of a specific substrate?
