Monoclonal Antibody to Bcl-2 (Apoptosis & Follicular Lymphoma Marker)(100/D5 + 124)

This antibody recognizes a protein of 25-26kDa, identified as the bcl-2 α oncoprotein. It shows no cross-reaction with Bcl-x or Bax protein. Expression of bcl-2 α oncoprotein inhibits the programmed cell death (apoptosis). In most follicular lymphomas, neoplastic germinal centers express high levels of bcl-2 α protein, whereas the normal or hyperplastic germinal centers are negative. Consequently, this 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 protein and the small number in which the neoplastic cells are bcl-2 negative.

Flow Cytometry (1-2ug/million cells); Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml); Western Blot (1-2ug/ml); Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT)(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA Buffer, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95°C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes)

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic/therapeutics procedures.

Subcellular location:	Mitochondrion outer membrane, Nucleus membrane, Endoplasmic reticulum membrane
Post transnational modification:	Monoubiquitinated by PRKN, leading to increase its stability. Ubiquitinated by SCF(FBXO10), leading to its degradation by the proteasome.
Tissue Specificity:	Expressed in a variety of tissues.
