This arrest is a blot on his reputation.
One week after the last exposure the animals were bled, and the sera were used for blotting experiments.
Omission of primary antibody eliminated labeling on blots, indicating that labeling was specific.
Any residual shards of sarcotesta were removed by rinsing in distilled water, and the surface of the clean seeds was blotted dry.
Seeds were blotted dry between sheets of filter paper and reweighed.
The immunostained blots were then exposed to film.
Amplified products were blotted on a nylon membrane from the agarose gel.
The possibility that a significant proportion of the bands detected in the blots correspond to more than one insertion thus cannot be ruled out.
In contrast, no protein band was detected on these blots when the pre-immune rabbit serum was used as the specific control (data not shown).
