Each antibody-antigen interaction has unique characteristics; a protocol that gives good results for one antibody-antigen pair might not be satisfactory for a second antibody, even on the same sample. The interaction of antisera with protein epitopes in Western blot depends on a number of factors, all of which contribute to the final signal / noise ratio.

Knowledge and control of these factors allows for modifications and optimisation of the procedure. Agrisera, a Swedish company that specialises in polyclonal and monoclonal antibody production, has extensive experience and expertise in this area, and can offer Western Blot recommendations, troubleshooting and protocol advice.
