Topic: Northern Blotting
Presented by: Sita Tappo
Northern Blotting
Northern blotting is a technique for detection of specific RNA
sequences. Northern blotting was developed by James Alwine
and George Stark at Stanford University (1979) and was
named such by analogy to Southern blotting
Steps involved in Northern
blotting
1. RNA is isolated from several
biological samples (e.g. various
tissues, various developmental
stages of same tissue etc.)
* RNA is more susceptible to
degradation than DNA.
Cont……
2. Sample’s are loaded on gel and the
RNA samples are separated
according to their size on an
agarose gel .
• The resulting gel following after the
electrophoresis run.
Cont……
3. The gel is then blotted on a
nylon membrane or a
nitrocellulose filter paper/
diazobenzyloxymethyl papers
by creating the sandwich
arrangement.
Cont……
4. The membrane is placed in a dish
containing hybridization buffer with a
labeled probe.
• Thus, it will hybridize to the RNA on the
blot that corresponds to the sequence
of interest.
5. The membrane is washed to remove
unbound probe.
Cont……
6. The labeled probe is detected via
autoradiography or via a
chemiluminescence reaction (if a
chemically labeled probe is used). In
both cases this results in the
formation of a dark band on an X-ray
film.
• Now the expression patterns of the
sequence of interest in the different
samples can be compared.
APPLICATIONS
• A standard for the study of gene expression at the level of
mRNA(messenger RNA transcripts)
• Detection of mRNA transcript size
• Study RNA degradation
• Study RNA splicing
• Study RNA half-life
• Often used to confirm and check transgenic / knockout mice
(animals)
Disadvantage of Northern
plotting
1.The standard northern blot method is relatively less sensitive
2. Detection with multiple probes is a problem
3. If RNA samples are even slightly degraded by RNases, the quality of
the data and quantitation of expression is quite negatively affected.
Thank You for Listening With
Great Patience
