Description
PAGE: Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis

Outline
An electrophoresis which uses a polyacrylamide gel as the medium through which the separated solution moves.

(The issue here is that there is also polyacrylamide electrophoresis of DNA and RNA, as well as proteins -- this is not a protein-specific process, and so isn't a subset of immuno-electrophoresis or anything like that.)

I've also seen references to use of polyacrylamide gels in DNA and RNA gel electrophoresis, for example in sequencing.

Polyacrylamide gels have a percentage associated with them (a concentration?) that is related to the "resolving power" of the gel -- basically, the expected size distribution of the molecule that will be moving through it.
