'''Comments:'''

The western blotting procedures are the same for PVDF or nitrocellulose, however the handling of these membranes are different prior to- and during- transfer of proteins from the SDS-PAGE gel to the membrane.

Nitrocellulose exhibits the highest sensitivity with very low backgrounds in all transfers, especially in protein blotting. Unlike PVDF, nitrocellulose wets out naturally, does not require methanol, and will not turn hydrophobic during the transfer process. Nitrocellulose is very easily blocked and does not need the many blocking steps required with PVDF.

Protocols for Western Blotting with PVDF and Nitrocellulose are the same with a few exceptions. PVDF is hydrophobic and therefore should be prewet in methanol before it is used. Wet the membrane in methanol for 15 seconds. Membrane should uniformly change from opaque to semi-transparent. Carefully place the membrane in ultrapure water and soak for 2 minutes. Then carefully place the membrane in transfer buffer and let equilibrate for at least 5 minutes.

Another change to note is that the SDS tolerances are not equivalent for PVDF and Nitrocellulose. The binding of protein to PVDF is much more sensitive to SDS levels. Too much SDS can inhibit the protein's ability to bind to the PVDF and can, in fact, help proteins already bound to the membrane to slip off. SDS levels should never exceed 0.05% for PVDF.
