WESTERN BLOTTING
The term “blotting” refers to the transfer of biological samples from a gel to a membrane and their
subsequent detection on the surface of the membrane.
Southern blot is used for transferring DNA, Northern blot for RNA and Western blot for Protein.
Western blotting (also called immunoblotting, because an antibody is used to specifically detect its
antigen) was introduced by Towbin, et al. in 1979 and is now a routine technique for protein
analysis.
Western blotting can produce qualitative and semi-quantitative data about the protein of interest.
It is an important technique used in cell and molecular biology.
It enables the researchers to identify the specific protein from mixture of proteins extracted from
cells as well as evaluation of their size and amount.
The SDS PAGE technique is prerequisite for western blotting.
Principle
 Western blotting (protein blotting or immunoblotting) is a rapid and sensitive assay for detection and
characterization of proteins.
 It is based on the principle of immunochromatography where proteins are separated into
polyacrylamide gel according to their molecular weight.
 The protein thus separated are then transferred or electro transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane and
are detected using specific primary antibody and secondary enzyme labeled antibody and substrate.
 Western blotting technique is used for identification of particular protein from the mixture of protein.
 In this method labelled antibody against particular protein is used identify the desired protein, so it is a
specific test.
 Western blotting is also known as immunoblotting because it uses antibodies to detect the protein.
Procedure
Extraction of protein
Gel electrophoresis: SDS PAGE
Blotting: electrical or capillary blotting
Blocking: BSA
Treatment with primary antibody
Treatment with secondary antibody( enzyme labelled anti Ab)
Treatment with specific substrate; if enzyme is alkaline phosphatase,
substrate is p-nitro phenyl phosphate which give color.
Step I: Extraction of Protein
Cell lysate is most common sample for western blotting.
Protein is extracted from cell by mechanical or chemical lysis of cell. This step is
also known as tissue preparation.
To prevent denaturing of protein protease inhibitor is used.
The concentration of protein is determined by spectroscopy.
When sufficient amount of protein sample is obtained, it is diluted in loading
buffer containing glycerol which helps to sink the sample in well.
Tracking dye (bromothymol blue) is also added in sample to monitor the
movement of proteins.
Step II: Gel electrophoresis
The sample is loaded in well of SDS-PAGE Sodium dodecyl sulfate- poly-
acrylamide gel electrophoresis.
The proteins are separated on the basis of electric charge, isoelectric point,
molecular weight, or combination of these all.
The small size protein moves faster than large size protein.
Protein are negatively charged, so they move toward positive (anode) pole
as electric current is applied.
Step III: Blotting
The nitrocellulose membrane is placed on the gel. The separated protein
from gel get transferred to nitrocellulose paper by capillary action. This
type of blotting is time consuming and may take 1-2 days
For fast and more efficient transfer of desired protein from the gel to
nitrocellulose paper electro-blotting can be used.
In electro-blotting nitrocellulose membrane is sandwich between gel and
cassette of filter paper and then electric current is passed through the gel
causing transfer of protein to the membrane.
Step IV: Blocking
Blocking is very important step in western blotting.
Antibodies are also protein so they are likely to bind the nitrocellulose
paper. So before adding the primary antibody the membrane is non-
specifically saturated or masked by using casein or Bovine serum albumin
(BSA).
Step V: Treatment with Primary Antibody
The primary antibody (1° Ab) is specific to desired protein so it form Ag-
Ab complex
Step VI: Treatment with secondary antibody
The secondary antibody is enzyme labelled. For eg. alkaline phosphatase or
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is labelled with secondary antibody.
Secondary antibody (2° Ab) is antibody against primary antibody (anti-antibody)
so it can bind with Ag-Ab complex.
Step VII: Treatment with suitable substrate
To visualize the enzyme action, the reaction mixture is incubated with specific
substrate.
The enzyme convert the substrate to give visible colored product, so band of color
can be visualized in the membrane.
Western blotting is also a quantitative test to determine the amount of protein in
sample.

This step is also known as tissue preparation. To prevent denaturing of protein protease inhibitor is used. The concentration of protein is determined by spectroscopy. When sufficient amount of protein sample is obtained, it is diluted in loading buffer containing glycerol which helps to sink the sample in well. Tracking dye (bromothymol blue) is also added in sample to monitor the movement of proteins.
  • 8. Step II: Gel electrophoresis The sample is loaded in well of SDS-PAGE Sodium dodecyl sulfate- poly- acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The proteins are separated on the basis of electric charge, isoelectric point, molecular weight, or combination of these all. The small size protein moves faster than large size protein. Protein are negatively charged, so they move toward positive (anode) pole as electric current is applied.
  • 9. Step III: Blotting The nitrocellulose membrane is placed on the gel. The separated protein from gel get transferred to nitrocellulose paper by capillary action. This type of blotting is time consuming and may take 1-2 days For fast and more efficient transfer of desired protein from the gel to nitrocellulose paper electro-blotting can be used. In electro-blotting nitrocellulose membrane is sandwich between gel and cassette of filter paper and then electric current is passed through the gel causing transfer of protein to the membrane.
  • 10. Step IV: Blocking Blocking is very important step in western blotting. Antibodies are also protein so they are likely to bind the nitrocellulose paper. So before adding the primary antibody the membrane is non- specifically saturated or masked by using casein or Bovine serum albumin (BSA). Step V: Treatment with Primary Antibody The primary antibody (1° Ab) is specific to desired protein so it form Ag- Ab complex
  • 11. Step VI: Treatment with secondary antibody The secondary antibody is enzyme labelled. For eg. alkaline phosphatase or Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) is labelled with secondary antibody. Secondary antibody (2° Ab) is antibody against primary antibody (anti-antibody) so it can bind with Ag-Ab complex. Step VII: Treatment with suitable substrate To visualize the enzyme action, the reaction mixture is incubated with specific substrate. The enzyme convert the substrate to give visible colored product, so band of color can be visualized in the membrane. Western blotting is also a quantitative test to determine the amount of protein in sample.
