noun
- Plural of immunoblot; laboratory technique or results in which proteins are separated by gel electrophoresis, transferred to a membrane, and detected using antibodies.
Usage: technical; biology/biochemistry; also called Western blots
Examples
- The researchers used immunoblots to confirm the presence of the target protein in the cell samples.
- Multiple immunoblots were performed to validate the antibody specificity.
- The immunoblots showed a clear band at the expected molecular weight.
- We analyzed the immunoblots using densitometry software to quantify protein levels.
- The immunoblots provided evidence that the treatment reduced protein expression.
