 To separate the proteins through SDS-PAGE
and detection followed by characterization of
proteins through Western blotting.
 Introduction :
 Western blotting (also known as protein- or
immunoblotting) is a rapid and sensitive assay for
detection and characterization of proteins. It works
by exploiting the specificity inherent in Ag-Ab
recognition. It is used to identify specific antigens
recognized by polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies.
Western blotting is carried out along with protein
(antigen) separation in gel by electrophoresis and
the blot development.
 It is essentially a combination of 3
techniques:
 Electrophoresis (PAGE)
 Western blotting
 Immunochemical detection.
 Principle :
 Identification of protein separated by gel
electrophoresis is limited by the small pore size of
the gel, as the macromolecule probe for protein
analysis cannot permeate the gel. This limitation is
overcome by blotting the protein into an adsorbent
porous membrane.
 The apparatus consists of a tank containing buffer,
in which is located a cassette. Clamping the gel
and the membrane tightly together, a current is
applied from electrodes, and repeated on either
side of the cassette to avoid heating effects.
 The proteins are separated according to their
electrophoresis mobility and blotted onto the
membrane identified, using suitable
immunochemicals to locate the protein of interest.
The individual techniques are explained below.
 Stage 1. Prepare a PAGE gel slab and fix to a vertical
electrophoretic apparatus. Treat the sample with suitable
buffer and load onto the gel slots.
 Stage 2. Apply electric current. After a few minutes, proteins
in the sample migrate according to their electrophoretic
mobility in the stacking gel. The stacking gel has a
polyacrylamide concentration resulting in higher pore size and
a lower pH of 7. This enables the protein to concentrate into
sharp bands due to isotachopharesis, or band-sharpening
effect. At the end of the stacking gel, it meets the separating
gel, which has a higher polyacrylamide concentration and
higher pH. In the separating gel, the proteins travel according
to their size.
 Stage 3. When the dye front reaches the bottom of the
separating gel, the proteins in the sample are resolved
depending on their size. However the protein cannot be
visualized directly. The gel needs to be stained with suitable
stainer to visualize all the proteins. The identification of
protein of interest can be done using a suitable probe and a
developing system.
 Blotting is the transfer of resolved proteins from the gel to
surface of suitable membrane. This is done commonly by
electrophoresis (known as electro blotting).
 In this method, the transfer buffer has a low ionic strength
which allows electro transfer of proteins. Methane in the
buffer increases binding of proteins to nitrocellulose and
reduces gel smelling during transfer.
 The use of the membrane as a support for protein enables
the case of manipulation efficient washing and faster
reactions during the immuno detection, as proteins are more
accessible for reaction.
 (a) The membrane is in close contact with PAGE gel
containing proteins. The proteins are electro transferred to
nitrocellulose membrane.
 (b) At the end of electro transfer, all proteins would have
migrated to the NC membrane.
 The protein was transferred to the corresponding position on
the membrane as on the gel. A mirror image of the gel was
formed. However, the protein location and detection can only
be assessed after immuno detection.
 Immunodetection :
 The transferred proteins are bound to the surface of NC
membrane and are accessible for reaction with
immunochemical reagents. All the unoccupied sites on the
membrane are blocked with inert proteins, detergents, or
other suitable blocking agents. The membrane is then probed
with a primary antibody and a suitable substrate so the
enzyme identifies the ag-ab complex form on the membrane.
 Applications :
 To characterize proteins and to identify specific antigens for
antibodies.
 Blotting Buffer. Add 25 ml of blotting buffer component A
and 25 ml of component B to 150 ml of distilled water.
 Other Buffers. Dilute the required amount of buffer
concentrate to 1X concentration with water.
 Antibody. Dilute primary A-b and label secondary HRP
conjugate in an assay buffer.
 Substrate. Dilute TMB/H2O2, 10X concentration 10 times with
heat just before use.
 Run SDS: Poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis.
 Electroblot.
 Assemble the blotting sandwich within the blotting cassette.
Care should be taken to avoid air bubbles between the gel
and NC membrane.
 Insert the cassette into the apparatus filled with blotting
buffer so that the gel faces the cathode.
 Connect the power supply and use a voltage of 50 V for 5
hours for blotting.
 Immuno-detection :
 (a) Remove the NC membrane gently from the cassette and
place it in the blocking buffer for 2 hours at room
temperature, or overnight in the cold.
 (b) Suspend the primary antibody in 10 ml with the assay
buffer, using a suitable tube.
 (c) Immerse the blot in the 10 Ab solute and gently agitate for
30 minutes.
 (d) Wash the blot by immersing it in wash buffer for 3–5
minutes. Repeat 2 more times.
 (e) Prepare 1:1000 dilutions of labeled 20 Ab in the assay
buffer. Prepare sufficient (10 mL) volume of diluted Ab to
cover the blot.
 (f) Immerse the blot in 20 Ab solute and agitate gently for 30
minutes.
 (g) Wash the blot in wash buffer for 3–5 minutes and repeat 4
times.
 (h) Immerse the washed blot in 10 mL of substrate solution
with gentle shaking. Bands will develop sufficient color within
5–10 min.
 (i) Remove the blot and wash with distilled water. Dry.
 (j) Although the colored hands fade with time, the rate of
color loss can be retarded if the blots are kept in the dark.
 The proteins separated through the SDS-PAGE have
been successfully transferred onto the
nitrocellulose membrane and the transferred
proteins detected by immunodetection, which was
confirmed by the development of color bands on
the nitrocellulose membrane.

The gel needs to be stained with suitable stainer to visualize all the proteins. The identification of protein of interest can be done using a suitable probe and a developing system.
  • 7.  Blotting is the transfer of resolved proteins from the gel to surface of suitable membrane. This is done commonly by electrophoresis (known as electro blotting).  In this method, the transfer buffer has a low ionic strength which allows electro transfer of proteins. Methane in the buffer increases binding of proteins to nitrocellulose and reduces gel smelling during transfer.  The use of the membrane as a support for protein enables the case of manipulation efficient washing and faster reactions during the immuno detection, as proteins are more accessible for reaction.  (a) The membrane is in close contact with PAGE gel containing proteins. The proteins are electro transferred to nitrocellulose membrane.
  • 8.  (b) At the end of electro transfer, all proteins would have migrated to the NC membrane.  The protein was transferred to the corresponding position on the membrane as on the gel. A mirror image of the gel was formed. However, the protein location and detection can only be assessed after immuno detection.  Immunodetection :  The transferred proteins are bound to the surface of NC membrane and are accessible for reaction with immunochemical reagents. All the unoccupied sites on the membrane are blocked with inert proteins, detergents, or other suitable blocking agents. The membrane is then probed with a primary antibody and a suitable substrate so the enzyme identifies the ag-ab complex form on the membrane.  Applications :  To characterize proteins and to identify specific antigens for antibodies.
  • 9.  Blotting Buffer. Add 25 ml of blotting buffer component A and 25 ml of component B to 150 ml of distilled water.  Other Buffers. Dilute the required amount of buffer concentrate to 1X concentration with water.  Antibody. Dilute primary A-b and label secondary HRP conjugate in an assay buffer.  Substrate. Dilute TMB/H2O2, 10X concentration 10 times with heat just before use.
  • 10.  Run SDS: Poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis.  Electroblot.  Assemble the blotting sandwich within the blotting cassette. Care should be taken to avoid air bubbles between the gel and NC membrane.  Insert the cassette into the apparatus filled with blotting buffer so that the gel faces the cathode.  Connect the power supply and use a voltage of 50 V for 5 hours for blotting.  Immuno-detection :  (a) Remove the NC membrane gently from the cassette and place it in the blocking buffer for 2 hours at room temperature, or overnight in the cold.  (b) Suspend the primary antibody in 10 ml with the assay buffer, using a suitable tube.
  • 11.  (c) Immerse the blot in the 10 Ab solute and gently agitate for 30 minutes.  (d) Wash the blot by immersing it in wash buffer for 3–5 minutes. Repeat 2 more times.  (e) Prepare 1:1000 dilutions of labeled 20 Ab in the assay buffer. Prepare sufficient (10 mL) volume of diluted Ab to cover the blot.  (f) Immerse the blot in 20 Ab solute and agitate gently for 30 minutes.  (g) Wash the blot in wash buffer for 3–5 minutes and repeat 4 times.  (h) Immerse the washed blot in 10 mL of substrate solution with gentle shaking. Bands will develop sufficient color within 5–10 min.  (i) Remove the blot and wash with distilled water. Dry.  (j) Although the colored hands fade with time, the rate of color loss can be retarded if the blots are kept in the dark.
  • 12.  The proteins separated through the SDS-PAGE have been successfully transferred onto the nitrocellulose membrane and the transferred proteins detected by immunodetection, which was confirmed by the development of color bands on the nitrocellulose membrane.
