Analysis of the products of the RNA-directed DNA polymerase reaction using glycerol-substituted polyacrylamide gels has proven superior to the glycerol gradient method for quantitative assay of a series of nucleic acid samples. To overcome the phenomenon of a smearing of background radioactive count

✦ Synopsis
Detection of specific proteins separated by SDS-PAGE is the basis for studying specific antigens. Immunodetection of antigens is commonly performed using Western blotting technique. In this paper we have
shown that it is possible to eliminate Western blotting and to detect the antigens directly within the precast polyacrylamide gels by pretreating the gels with 50% isopropanol followed by distilled water treatment. This method would be valuable for large or difficult to transfer proteins.
