1. A laboratory technique that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in a sample, typically displayed on a membrane after electrophoresis.
Usage: technical; also called Western blot in common usage
2. The membrane or result produced by the immunoblot technique, showing the detected proteins as bands.
Usage: technical

1. To perform an immunoblot analysis on a sample.
Usage: technical

Examples

• The researchers used an immunoblot to confirm the presence of the target protein in the cell lysate.
• An immunoblot analysis revealed that the drug treatment significantly reduced protein expression.
• The immunoblot showed clear bands corresponding to the expected molecular weights.
• Scientists immunoblotted the tissue samples to detect phosphorylated forms of the kinase.
• The immunoblot membrane was developed using chemiluminescence for better sensitivity.
• To immunoblot the samples, they first separated the proteins by gel electrophoresis.
