Coomassie Staining as Loading Control in Western Blot Analysis

Welinder, Charlotte LU and Ekblad, Lars LU orcid (2011) In Journal of Proteome Research 10(3). p.1416-1419
Abstract
In Western blotting, immunodetection of housekeeping proteins is routinely performed to detect differences in electrophoresis loading. The present work describes a much faster and simpler protein staining method, which is compatible with ordinary blocking conditions. In addition, the method can be used after immunodetection with superior linearity compared to ordinary staining methods. After immunoblotting and staining, protein bands can be further identified using peptide mass fingerprinting.
