=== Procedure ===
----

* Upon completed transfer of the proteins to the PVDF membrane, the blotting apparatus is disassembled and the membrane is incubated for ~15 minutes at RT in staining solution with shaking
* Subsequently, the membrane is destained until the marker bands are visible and the background appears white
* The Protein Size Marker bands are marked on the membrane
* The membrane is quickly washed with TBS-T and then incubated in Blocking buffer (Blotto) for 1 h at RT or overnight at 4°C on a shaking platform
* The first antibody diluted in blocking buffer (1:500 – 1:5000) is added (usually 5 – 10 ml of antibody solution are sufficient) and the membrane is incubated overnight at 4°C on a shaking platform (cold room)
* The membrane is returned to RT, the solution containing the 1st antibody is saved in a 15 ml Falcon tube for reuse, and the membrane is washed three times for 10 – 20 min with ~50 ml TBS-Tween
* The membrane is incubated for 1 - 2 h with the HRP-conjugated secondary reagent (1:3,000 – 1:10,000 in 10 ml TBS-T) at RT on a shaking platform
* The membrane is washed again three times for 10 – 20 min each with ~50 ml TBS-T
* Add 10 ml of ECL-solution and 3 μL of H2O2 (30%) to the membrane and incubate about 2 min under shaking
* Place the ECL-soaked membrane on the ECL imager plate and record the luminescence. Transfer the image files in your directory on the central file server
