In the series of immunological techniques, western blotting is to be presented in this issue. Like all immunological techniques, western blotting is based on an antigen-antibody reaction. Depending on the structure, either an antigen or an antibody can also be detected with this technique. What makes it interesting is that it combines an antigen-antibody reaction with gel electrophoresis.
