Abstract
Western blotting has survived as an essential tool of the research and clinical laboratory because it has maintained its everyday scientific usefulness while simultaneously evolving as a facile weapon to confront high-content analytical demands of proteomic and diagnostic screening. New approaches for imaging blotted proteins have emerged to complement the core methodology.
