Comparsions between western blot, IHC and IF used in the study31,3335.

Western blot Immunohistochemistry Immunofluorescence
Target Protein expressions Protein expressions Protein expressions
Sample acquisition Proteins lysated form cells or tissues Tissues Cells or tissues (supension or adherent cells)
Sample quantity cells typically (about 15–30 μg total proteins) cells from tissues typically cells typically (1/10–1/100 times compared with amount of western blot)
Advantages Sensitivite detection Can measure situations in the context of intact tissues. Can be used in suspension and adherent cells situations
Quantitative analysis use Can be used in fresh samples situations
Provides moleualr weight information Less sample need amount and less time to perform results
Quantitative analysis
Suitable for detection for phosho-proteins
Disadvantages Time consuming problem Less sensitivity quantitatively The condition setting for high sensitivity
High sample comsumption Limited time of storage Limited time of storage
Lower sensitivity in less protein amount situation Repeated use problem Repeated use problem
Improper quantification
Measuring confusion when phosphorlyative peotein detection
Reactivity problem of antibodies each other
