Western Blot
Western blot, a widely utilized molecular biology technique, plays a pivotal role in detecting and analyzing proteins within a sample. This method involves the separation of proteins through gel electrophoresis, followed by their transfer to a membrane for immunodetection. By employing antibodies to target specific proteins, Western blotting allows researchers to visualize and quantify protein expression levels. With its versatility and precision, Western blot has become an indispensable tool in various scientific disciplines, contributing significantly to the understanding of cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and the development of therapeutic interventions.
