MCB 730: Southern Blot Lab Southern, Northern & Western blotting Flowchart Detailed Protocol
Sir Edwin Mellor Southern of course (1938- ) • Inventor of the Southern blot • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Southern
Characterization: Southern blot hybridization -transfer of DNA from a gel to a membrane (e.g., nitrocellulose, nylon) -developed by Edwin Southern
Characterization: Northern blot hybridization X RNA X x salt X RNA -transfer of RNA from a gel to a membrane (e.g., nitrocellulose, nylon) -reveals mRNA size (and approximate protein size), tissue- and organ- specific expression, and kinetic patterns of expression
Characterization: Western blotting X Protein Enzyme reaction or X React with Antibody X x Buffer; requires electric current X -transfer of protein from a gel to a membrane (e.g., nitrocellulose, nylon) -requires the use of an electric current to facilitate transfer
