Coomassie blue staining is used to visualise the protein after SDS PAGE to determine its molecular weight and its relative amount. Its can detect protein 0.3ug/band. It stains all types of proteins. While in case of immunoblotting, protein from gel after SDS PAGE are transferred to PVDF membrane and then detected using specific primary antibody against Hsp70 only followed by secondary antibody conjugated with enzyme that gives colored product to visualise the protein band. It can acheive sensitivies of 1ng/band.
