Proteins can be separated according to their size by gel electrophoresis and further analyzed by Western blotting. The proteins can be transferred to a membrane made of nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which results in a replica of the proteins’ separation patterns. The proteins on the membrane can be detected by specific antibodies followed by visualization either on the membrane itself, on film or by CCD cameras. Western blotting is a sensitive technique to verify data obtained from difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE)-based proteomics.
