Western blotting is a technique used for detection of protein. It is also called as immunoblotting technique wherein specific antibodies are used to detect antigens. It works on the principle of molecular weight of the proteins and specificity. Gel electrophoresis is used for the denaturation of proteins and to obtain the primary antibody. Blotting and testing is performed later where the primary antibody binds to its specific antigen. It gives a qualitative and semi – quantitative type of analysis, i.e., it can evaluate size and amount of protein. Western blotting technique has several applications in diagnostics and confirmatory tests and is also used for qualitative analysis of proteins and cells and in blood doping tests. The Global Western Blotting Market was valued at US$ 619.5 million in 2017, and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period (2018–2026).
