Fluorescent Western Blotting

Fluorescent Western blotting can offer many advantages and improve the highly robust Western blotting technique. Fluorescent Western blotting is a method that is becoming increasingly popular because it allows powerful quantitative detection of protein expression.

The basic principle behind the method is that the strength of fluorescence of a fluorophore bound to a detection antibody is proportional to the strength of protein expression. Since fluorescence does not occur enzymatically, as is the case with classical Western blotting, quantitation is much more reproducible.

Figure 1. Fluorescent Westernblotting: 1. The fluorophore-conjugated secondary recognizes the primary antibody bound to the protein of interest. 2. A light source is used to excite the fluorescent conjugate to fluorescence. 3. The excited dye emits light of a specific wavelength, which can be visualized by digital imaging. Thus, the protein of interest can be detected quantitatively.

Fluorescence vs Chemiluminescence Western Blotting

Chemiluminescent detection Fluorescent detection
Signal source Signal from enzymatic reaction Signal from fluorophore
Detection Photographic film, imaging instrument Imaging instrument with light source and filters
Sensitivity Good, wide variety of substrates available Good, wide variety of fluorophores available
Quantitation Single channel, Challenging normalization Multiple channel, easier normalization
Signal duration Minutes to hours Weeks to months

Multiplex Duo Fluorescent Western Blotting Kits

Multiplex Duo fluorescent Western blotting kits are suited for simultaneous detection and quantification of specific protein populations in a biological sample. Using a combination of two antibodies selected for minimal cross reactivity, fluorescent detection method enables simultaneous quantitative analysis of multiple proteins within the same sample on the same blot.

Figure 2. Multiplex Duo Fluorescent Western Blotting Kits: Simultaneous detection of α-tubulin and GFP on a single blot using labeled secondary antibody conjugates. Probing of cell lysates and GFP with mouse anti-α-tubulin and chicken anti-GFP antibodies followed by 649 goat anti-mouse IgG (pseudocolored green) and 800 goat anti-chicken IgG (red) conjugates, and then imaged using Syngene G:BOX Imaging System resulted in comparable patterns of detection.
