title: Immunostaining of von Willebrand factor multimers on agarose gels and nitrocellulose filters.
abstract: Human von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimeric analysis is commonly performed by agarose gel electrophoresis, electroblotting, and immunoenzymatic staining; however, high molecular weight (HMW) multimers are poorly transferred on nitrocellulose and should be visualized by direct gel staining with radiolabeled anti-VWF antibody and autoradiography or luminography.
