Protein Blotting and Detection Methods and Protocols

About this book

Over the past thirty years, the development of the Western blot has revolutionized the fields of biomedical research and medical diagnostics. In this volume, expert researchers present numerous techniques based on the Western blot, providing detailed, readily reproducible methods, tips and alternatives directly and easily transferable to the laboratory setting.

Chapters offer a large number of variations on the theme of protein transfer to solid support followed by detection, presenting both adaptations of traditional techniques as well as completely original methods of protein blotting.
