A simple method of revealing proteins on nitrocellulose blots is described. It is based on high affinity of colloidal silver for proteins. The sensitivity is about the same as that of colloidal gold and it appears to be about 20 times higher than the presently used staining methods. The whole procedure is very simple and does not take more than 30 min.
