@fueledbymito: Westerns are one of the most utilized tools in biology. There are several steps you have to take before you can actually perform a western. 1. Run experiment and collect samples (break open). 2. Lyse the cells to extract proteins. 3. Run proteins on a gel (most commonly this is an SDS PAGE gel when you only care about the size of a protein) 4. Transfer proteins to a memebane. 5. Western (probe for the protein with an antibody). #phdlife #westernblot #westernblotting #biology #molecularbiology #gelelectrophoresis #sdspagegel #academia

i've done hundreds, the trick is to actively swear along the whole process. The blot senses fear, so teach it how to feel it too

Thank you for explaining this so well and showing the process!!!! This is so helpful for understanding how the whole blotting process works, I'm going to take the mcat at the end of the year😁

How is the antigen detected by the antibody if the sample protein is denatured by SDS?

Love love love doing Westerns! Seeing snatched, crispy, single bands makes me feel like a master of black magic.

When I first did one learning you have to start early or you weren’t leaving the lab any time soon 😭😭

Not me watching this with my samples incubating in primary antibody overnight and I am hoping it doesn’t disappoint me by morning.

I love western blots. I’m in biotech and I run around 120 gels a month. we utilize transblot turbos for semi-dry transfer.

I did so many of these. Spent so many hours in the dark room having panic attacks that it wouldn’t work 🤣 I once had such a strong signal it glowed in the dark lol
