Western blot
A technique in which protein is transferred from an electrophoretic gel to a cellulose or nylon support membrane following electrophoresis. A particular protein molecule can then be identified by probing the blot with a radiolabelled antibody which binds only the specific protein to which the antibody was prepared. Useful, for example, for measurement of levels of production of a specific protein in a particular tissue or at particular developmental stage.
