Invitrogen™ Bcl-2 Monoclonal Antibody (10C4), PE-Cyanine7, eBioscience™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: The 10C4 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse and rat Bcl-2, also known as B cell lymphoma 2. Bcl-2 is the founding member of the Bcl-2 family of evolutionarily-conserved proteins that regulate cell death/survival. Members of the Bcl-2 family include the pro-apoptotic proteins BAD, Bax, and Bim, and the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, and Mcl-1. Bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria. Mutation of Bcl-2 or overexpression of Bcl-2 due to chromosomal translocation has been identified as a contributing factor in numerous cancers. In developing thymocytes, Bcl-2 is expressed at high levels in CD4-CD8- double negative and in CD4+ and CD8+ single positive thymocytes; Bcl-2 expression is greatly diminished in CD4+CD8+ double positive thymocytes. Applications Reported: This 10C4 antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This 10C4 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes and thymocytes. This can be used at 5 μL (0.25 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. Light sensitivity: This tandem dye is sensitive to photo-induced oxidation.
