Recombinant Anti-Bcl-2 antibody [E17] (ab32124)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human B-cell lymphoma tissue labelling Bcl-2 with purified ab32124 at 1/250. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500). Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab32124 observed at 26 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.

 ab32124 was shown to react with BCL2 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255364 (knockout cell lysate ab263752) was used. Wild-type HeLa and BCL2 knockout HeLa cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab32124 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^®800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^®680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Formaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded human DLBCL U2932 cell line xenograft tissue stained for Bcl-2 using ab32124 at 1/200 dilution in immunohistochemical analysis, followed by Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Alexa Fluor^® 555.

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab32124 observed at 26 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.

ab32124 was shown to specifically react with BCL2 when BCL2 knockout samples were used. Wild-type and BCL2 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE.  Ab32124 and ab8245 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1000 dilution and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. 3% milk used as blocking agent.

ab32124 (purified) at 1/30 immunoprecipitating Bcl-2 in Jurkat (human T cell leukemia cell line from peripheral blood) cell lysate (Lane 1). Lane 2 - PBS. For western blotting, a HRP-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG, specific to the non-reduced form of IgG was used as the secondary antibody (1/1500).

Immunohistochemical analysis of Human salivary glands taken from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome, staining Bcl-2 with unpurified ab32124.
Antigen retrieval was performed via heat mediation in a citrate buffer (pH 6). Sections were blocked using 2% BSA, 10% normal serum and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100) for one hour at room temperature. An Alexa Fluor^® 594-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used as the secondary antibody.
