How Does Western Blotting Compare to Other Techniques?
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): While IHC provides spatial information about protein localization within tissue sections, Western blotting offers quantitative data. - ELISA: Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is more suitable for high-throughput screening but lacks the ability to separate proteins by size. - Mass Spectrometry: Provides detailed protein identification and post-translational modification analysis but is more complex and costly.
