Western blot
A technique for detecting specific proteins using an antibody. Proteins are separated by electrophoresis in an acrylamide gel (PAGE), and transferred onto a membrane. The membrane is then probed with an antibody.

Whereas ELISA measures antibody to whole virus and gives a "positive," "negative" or indeterminate test result, Western blotting is a more specific test.
Western Blot
Western blotting is a laboratory technique used to detect a specific protein in a blood or tissue sample. The method involves using gel electrophoresis to separate the sample's proteins.
Western blot
Transfer of proteins from an acrylamide gel onto a membrane filter for the detection with specific antibodies.
Western blot (see blot) Also known as Immunoblot. Proteins blotted onto a membrane post electrophoresis. They can be detected there by appropriate antisera. The name Western blot is a continuation of the Southern blot, Northern blot joke.
Western blot A technique used to identify and locate proteins based on their ability to bind to specific antibodies.

If there are any protein/molecules that bind to the first protein, they will also be pelleted. Identification of proteins in the pellet can be determined by western blot (if an antibody exist) or by sequencing a purified protein band.
The number of repeats varies between individuals and is used as a basis for genetic identification.
Western Blot Protein blot taken from an electrophoresis gel. Normally probed with a specific antibody.
Western blotting analysis -- a technique used to identify a specific protein; the probe is a radioactively labeled antibody raised against the protein in question.
