Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Bcl-2 also known as B-cell lymphoma 2 is an important protein involved in the regulation of apoptosis. It mechanically functions by inhibiting cell death and is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. Bcl-2 has a molecular weight of approximately 26 kDa. It is expressed mainly in fetal and adult tissues including the immune system and is notably present in hematopoietic stem cells and various cell lines derived from lymphoid tissues. In laboratory practices scientists often assess Bcl-2 expression levels through techniques like western blotting using antibodies such as 10c4 for detection.
Biological function summary

The role of Bcl-2 extends to maintaining cell survival and balancing apoptotic signals. It functions as an anti-apoptotic molecule within the cell primarily involved in forming complexes with pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family like Bax and Bak. These interactions prevent mitochondrial membrane permeabilization which is an important step in apoptotic signal transduction. As an important regulator of apoptosis Bcl-2 helps in cellular homeostasis and appropriate immune responses under physiological conditions.

Pathways

Bcl-2 plays a critical role in the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Within this pathway Bcl-2 interacts with other proteins such as cytochrome c and APAF-1 to inhibit apoptosis. This pathway involves a network of Bcl-2 family proteins where Bcl-2's anti-apoptotic role counteracts the pro-apoptotic activity of proteins like Bax. These interactions help fine-tune the apoptotic response to various internal stimuli maintaining cellular integrity and function.

The dysregulation of Bcl-2 expression has been implicated in cancer and autoimmune diseases. Overexpression of Bcl-2 is associated with several types of cancer including lymphomas and breast cancer where its anti-apoptotic property leads to tumor cell survival and resistance to chemotherapy. Bcl-2 also connects to disorders such as autoimmune diseases due to its regulation of cell survival with proteins like Bim playing an opposite role in promoting apoptosis. Understanding Bcl-2's functionality within these contexts is essential for developing targeted therapies.

Target data

Suppresses apoptosis in a variety of cell systems including factor-dependent lymphohematopoietic and neural cells (PubMed : 1508712, PubMed : 8183370). Regulates cell death by controlling the mitochondrial membrane permeability (PubMed : 11368354). Appears to function in a feedback loop system with caspases (PubMed : 11368354). Inhibits caspase activity either by preventing the release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria and/or by binding to the apoptosis-activating factor (APAF-1) (PubMed : 11368354). Also acts as an inhibitor of autophagy : interacts with BECN1 and AMBRA1 during non-starvation conditions and inhibits their autophagy function (PubMed : 18570871, PubMed : 20889974, PubMed : 21358617). May attenuate inflammation by impairing NLRP1-inflammasome activation, hence CASP1 activation and IL1B release (PubMed : 17418785).
