This volume covers past and present western blot techniques, such as diffusion blotting, slice blotting, blotting of high and low molecular weight proteins, single cell blotting and automated blotting. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Thorough and cutting-edge, Western Blotting: Methods and Protocols will serve as an invaluable reference for those interested in further study into this fascinating field.
