Résumé

In the planarian field, two techniques are mostly used for protein detection: immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting. While IHC is great for visualizing the spatial distribution of proteins in whole organisms, it has limitations in antibody availability and issues related to nonspecific expression. The use of western blotting can circumvent nonspecific expression, providing a dependable way to quantify proteins of interest. Here, we present a standardized, easily reproducible protocol with details on protein extractions of whole planarians and western blotting. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ziman et al. (2020a).
