I love "Westerns".


[please click on the comic for higher resolution]


Info for non-science readers:

The western blot is a widely used analytical technique used to detect specific proteins in the given sample of tissue homogenate or extract. It uses gel electrophoresis to separate native proteins by 3-D structure or denatured proteins by the length of the polypeptide. The proteins are then transferred to a membrane, where they are detected using antibodies specific to the target protein [Wikipedia].
