Summary

There are a number of techniques in the scientific world that researchers use to detect specific antigens. One such technique that has provided many advantages over typical immunochemical staining is chemiluminescence. The emission of visible radiation by compounds once exposed to sunlight has been known for centuries and currently is the main principle for chemiluminescence. Here, we introduce three different chemiluminescence techniques that are widely used in immunodetection of antigens: (a) whole membrane chemiluminescence detection, (b) strip membrane chemiluminescence detection, and (c) new line blotting chemiluminescence.
