Acrylamide Polymerization
Polyacrylamide is a
useful polymer for gel
electrophoresis because
both the concentration
and cross-linking of the
gel can be controlled
Immunoblotting
1. Protein electrophoresis
2. Transfer proteins to membrane
- electrophoretically
- MeOH to reduce SDS
3. Incubate membrane with antibody
4. Extensive washing
5. Detect bound antibody
- radiolabeled 2nd Ab or protein A
- ELISA

Indirect Immunocytochemistry
What is fluorescence?
Energy of light is inversely proportional
to the wavelength. For example, violet
light has higher energy than red light.
Fluorescent molecules are special
molecules that absorb incident light of
a particular wavelength then emit light
of a longer wavelength. The absorption
of light causes electrons in the
molecule to become highly energetic.
When the highly energetic electrons
return to their original state, they
emit light. Wave length of incident
light must be shorter than the
wavelength of emitted light since some
energy is unavoidably lost as heat.
