[blank_start]Western blotting[blank_end] is a method to look for a protein of interest from a gel using antibodies against the protein. A [blank_start]polyacrylamide[blank_end] protein gel i first run. The gel is then transferred to a membrane with a high [blank_start]affinity[blank_end] for protein such as [blank_start]capillary[blank_end] transfer or [blank_start]electrophoretic[blank_end] transfer. The membrane has a high affinity for protein so all empty spots much be filled with [blank_start]BSA[blank_end] or [blank_start]Skim[blank_end] [blank_start]Milk[blank_end] Powder. Once blocked, the [blank_start]primary[blank_end] antibody may be added to blot and allowed to bind A [blank_start]secondary[blank_end] protein may then be used to detect the presence of the primary antibody. They are helpful for detection of a [blank_start]protein[blank_end] from a sample, [blank_start]expression[blank_end] profiles of protein, verification of a [blank_start]transgenic[blank_end] organism, or to detect infections, such as [blank_start]HIV[blank_end].
