The technique described in the question is commonly known as a western blot. A western blot involves transferring separated proteins from a gel onto a membrane, then using labeled antibodies to detect specific proteins. The other options listed (northern, southern, and southwestern blot) are named after the type of biomolecule being detected (RNA, DNA, or DNA-binding proteins) and use different detection methods.
