Immunogen
This antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide of amino acids 41-54 of human bcl-2 oncoprotein.
Application Notes
This antibody has been used extensively in attempts aimed at characterising various cancer tissues via immunohistochemical staining. One group used bcl-2-124 antibody to label large B-cell lymphoma samples for bcl2 in order to perform its immunophenotypic and genetic depiction (Chang et al., 2016). Another group took advantage of this antibody while analysing the molecular picture of a case of the cystic synovial sarcoma of the pleura where they observed positive immunohistochemical staining in tumor cells (Tajima et al., 2015). Bcl-2 plays an important role as an inhibitor of apoptosis and its identification is often useful while analysing various factors influencing apoptosis. For instance, bcl-2/124 antibody has been successfully utilised in such experiments identifying bcl-2 via Western blot - Gomez-Bougie (2007) probed the influence of bortezomib on HMCL cells and detected bcl-2 signal on Western blots.
