Brief alkali treatment of nitrocellulose-bound protein markedly enhanced subsequent staining of protein with India ink or colloidal gold but not Amido Black. Following alkali treatment, India ink staining approaches colloidal gold staining in sensitivity and exceeds the latter method in clarity and economy. Furthermore, apparent protein-to-protein variation is reduced, allowing the method to be used for sensitive staining of protein transfers. Simple, high sensitivity staining of nitrocellulose-bound protein using India ink can be achieved after alkali treatment in less than 2 hours.

A simple and rapid microassay for proteins utilizing the protein dye-staining procedure with a nitrocellulose (NC) filter is described. Proteins were directly bound to an NC filter using the "BIO DOT" microfiltration apparatus to ensure their uniformity. The proteins were then stained with a dye (Po
A rapid picture of the extent of protein transfer from one-or two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels onto nitrocellulose membranes prior to immunodetection can be obtained by a rapid and reversible Amido Black staining procedure.
