There exists a diverse range of methodologies for analyzing OCTA images through the utilization of ImageJ, but it is imperative to establish a standardized strategy to ensure the. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or recommendations. Semantic Scholar extracted view of 'A new background subtraction method for Western blot densitometry band quantification through image analysis software.'. In order to save time and streamline the process I have created a toolset and ImageJ Plugin called QuickFigures. Assembling and editing these figures with even spacing, consistent font, text position, accurate scale bars and other features can be tedious and time consuming. Western blotting is a universally used technique to identify specific proteins from a heterogeneous and complex mixture. Similar layouts of panels are used when displaying photographs, electron micrographs and other forms of images. The quantification will reflect the relative amounts as a ratio of each protein band relative to the lane’s loading control. Make sure that the image is in 8-bit mode: go to Image>Type>8-bit. Publications involving fluorescent microscopy generally contain many panels with split channels, merged images, scale bars and label text. Quantifications of Western Blots with ImageJ by Hossein Davarinejad This protocol will allow you to relatively (no absolute values) quantify protein bands from western blot films. It is also commonly used to compare protein levels in different conditions or in different tissues. The western blot, also sometimes referred to as the immunoblot, involves separating native or denatured proteins by gel electrophoresis, transferring these separated proteins to a protein binding membrane and subsequent detection of a target protein by an antibody specific to the target protein (Figure 1). grishkam/QuickFigures/blob/6d9691422517714871b93603ab5e68e7c58e1b24/UserGuide/User Guide.md # QuickFigures User Guide Western blotting is among the most common techniques used in molecular biology and a simple way of assessing the presence or absence of a protein.
