Bcl-2 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026611

Product Details anti-Bcl-2 Antibody

Target: Bcl-2 (BCL2) (B-Cell CLL/lymphoma 2 (BCL2))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Bcl-2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

No Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a protein of 25-26 kDa, identified as the Bcl-2 alpha oncoprotein. It shows no cross-reaction with Bcl-x or Bax. Expression of Bcl-2 alpha oncoprotein inhibits the programmed cell death (apoptosis). In most follicular lymphomas, neoplastic germinal centers express high levels of the protein, whereas the normal or hyperplastic germinal centers are negative. Consequently, Bcl-2 antibody is valuable when distinguishing between reactive and neoplastic follicular proliferation in lymph node biopsies. It may also be used in distinguishing between those follicular lymphomas that express Bcl-2 and the small number in which the neoplastic cells are negative.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Amino acids GAAPAPGIFSSQPG (41-54) of the human protein were used as the immunogen for this Bcl-2 antibody.

Clone: 100-D5

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Bcl-2 antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 1  mM EDTA Buffer,  pH 7.5-8.5, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.\. ELISA: order BSA-free format for coating,FACS: 0.5-1 μg/million cells,IF: 1-2 μg/mL,WB: 0.5-1 μg/mL,IP: 1-2 μg/0.5 mg lysate,IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT (1),Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only
