northwestern blotting

northwestern blotting

A hybridisation technique for identifying protein/RNA interactions in which protein is run on a gel, blotted, and probed with a labelled RNA of interest. Interactions are detected as “hot” spots on a nitrocellulose filter (if the labelled probe is radioactive), or as dark spots (if the probe is biotinylated).
