Monoclonal Anti-BCL2 FITC produced in mouse

The mouse monoclonal antibody Bcl-2/100 recognizes Bcl2, a 26 kDa intracellular protooncogen with anti-apoptotic effect, expressed in outer mitochondrial membrane, endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope.

Bcl2 (B cell chronic lymphatic leukemia protein 2) is a proto-oncogen, which can contribute to tumorigenesis by counteracting apoptosis in various cell types. The anti-apoptotic effect of Bcl2 is performed by its interactions with suppressors and agonists of cell death and under physiological conditions it is regulated by proteolytic processing and phosphorylation. Bcl2 expression can be detected mainly in lymphoid tissues and in the basal cells of epithelial tissues. It is also a marker that can help in classification of lymphoproliferative diseases and in prognostics of some epithelial neoplasms.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino acids 41-54 of human Bcl2

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

Stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide

Purified antibody is conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Store at 2-8°C. Protect from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
