Blotting Methods
• Southern blotting involves the transfer of DNA from a gel to a membrane, followed by detection of specific sequences by hybridization with a labeled probe.
• Northern blotting, RNA is run on a gel.
• Western blotting entails separation of proteins on an SDS gel, transfer to a nitrocellulose membrane, and detection proteins of interest using antibodies.

SOUTHERN BLOTTING• The technique was developed by E.M.
Southern in 1975.• The Southern blot is used to detect the
presence of a particular piece of DNA in a sample.
• The DNA detected can be a single gene, or it can be part of a larger piece of DNA such as a viral genome.

DNA
• The deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, is a long chain of nucleotides which consist of:
• 1. Deoxyribose(sugar with 5 carbons)• 2. Phosphate groups• 3. Organic(nitrogenous)bases
![Page 7: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What are Southern and Northern Blots?
• A southern blot is a method used to detect specific DNA sequences in complex DNA samples.– It is a combination of several molecular biology
techniques:• Restriction enzyme analysis• Agarose gel electrophoresis• Hybridization analysis
– After electrophoresis, DNA molecules are transferred from the agarose gel onto a filter membrane for probe hybridization.
• A northern blot is almost identical to a Southern blot, but it involves the detection of RNA instead of DNA.
![Page 8: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
History of the Southern blot• The Southern blot technique was devised in 1975 by
Edwin Southern at Edinburgh University in Scotland.• He noticed how porous agarose
gels were and realized that this property could be utilized to transferthe DNA to a more easily manipulated filter membrane.• Agarose gel is quite fragile and
difficult to work with. • For the development of this
technique, Southern was awarded the Lancaster Award for Clinical Medical Research in 2005.
![Page 9: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Southern Blot Procedure
• Step 1: Digest the dsDNA– The sample DNA is isolated and digested with
restriction endoonucleases.– This results in the production of dsDNA
fragments of varying length depending on the location of the restriction sites.
![Page 10: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Step 2: Run the digest.– The resulting restriction fragments are
separated through agarose gel electrophoresis.• This separation is based on fragment size.

![Page 11: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Step 2 Continued: Run the digest.– Standard DNA size markers should also be run
so the size of the sample fragments can be estimated.
– Stain with ethidium bromide so that the DNA can be visualized under UV light.• Photograph the agarose gel alongside a ruler so
that the distance from the wells to the DNA bands can be determined.
Southern Blot Procedure
![Page 12: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Southern Blot Procedure
• Step 3: Denature the DNA– The agarose gel is soaked
in a basic solution, such as NaOH.
– After this step, it is important to neutralize the base before proceeding to the membrane transfer step.
![Page 13: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• A depurination step is optional.– DNA fragments that are larger than 15kb may be
difficult to transfer to the filter membrane. – HCl can be used to remove the purines, thus
reducing the size of the fragments. – It’s important to note that the procedure may be
hampered if the fragments are too small.

Southern Blot Procedure• Step 4: Transfer the denatured DNA to a
filter membrane. – Nitrocellulose or nylon filter membranes may be
used. • Nylon typically has a higher binding capacity and is less
fragile. – In the Southern blot procedure, the DNA fragment
transfer is achieved by capillary action.• Electrotransfer may also be used but is not as
common.– After the transfer, the filter membrane should be
exposed to UV light to cross link the DNA fragments to the membrane.
![Page 15: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

SOUTHERN BLOTTING• 2) Capillary blotting-fragments are eluted from the gel
and deposited onto the membrane by buffer that is drawn through the gel by capillary action.

Southern Blot Procedure
• Step 5: Hybridization AnalysisA) The membrane is soaked in a prehybridization
buffer.• This prevents the any nonspecific binding of the probe to
the membrane B) The filter membrane is incubated with many copies
of a ssDNA probe under specific conditions.• This probe contains a sequence that is complementary to
the DNA sequence of interest. • If the sequence of interest is present on the membrane,
the probe will anneal to this sequence.
![Page 19: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Hybridization Analysis Continued
C) The membrane is washed to remove any probe that has not hybridized.– Specific conditions needed that will remove
any nonspecifically bound probe, but will not disrupt the probe-target complex.
D) The membrane is tested for the presence of any hybridized probe.– Probes are either:
• Enzyme labeled • Radioactively labeled
![Page 20: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Probe Detection
• Radioactively labeled probes:– Detected by exposing the
membrane to X-ray film.• Autoradiography• Ares were hybridization has
occurred will appear as a dark spot on the autoradiogram.
– Probe usually labeled with 32P• High energy β-particle emitter.

Why is it called W.B.?
It was called after the technique “Southern blotting”(as a joke) which uses the same approach to detect DNA in cellular or tissue extracts. Southern blotting was first described by “Southern” in 1975.Western Blotting was first used by Towbin in 1979.Actually the technique is known as immunoblotting.
![Page 29: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What is the princible• The method is characterized by transferring the
protein, which was run on a gel by electrophoresis, onto a nitrosellulose membrane.
• This approach makes the protein stable on the membrane so that several methods including methods to detect and quantify the protein content can be employed.
![Page 30: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

• Seperation step.• The proteins in the extract are seperated
by their size (molecular weight) on a gel using electrophoresis.
• SDS-PAGE Gel: Sodium dodesyl sulphate-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
![Page 32: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Second step• Transfer step.• The transfer of the proteins onto the
nitrosellulose membrane. • The proteins seperated on the SDS-PAGE
gel are trasferred to the membrane by using electrophoresis. The localization of the proteins do not change.
![Page 34: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Third step• Primary antibody incubation step.• The primary antibodies which specifically
recognize the proteins of intrest are used.
![Page 35: Dr. H.V. Pandya SOUTHERN BLOTTING.ppt](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051406/627d4cfe9953943adf5f7571/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fourth step
• Secondary antibody incubation step.• Use of secondary antibody which
recognizes the primary antibody used in the third step.
