Description
Product Usage Information
Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:50
Storage
Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
Protocol
Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized)
Specificity / Sensitivity
Bcl-xL (54H6) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (Pacific Blue™ Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total Bcl-xL protein. This antibody conjugate does not cross-react with other Bcl-2 family members.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp61 of human Bcl-xL protein.
Background
Bcl-xL prevents apoptosis through two different mechanisms: heterodimerization with an apoptotic protein inhibits its apoptotic effect (1,2) and formation of mitochondrial outer membrane pores help maintain a normal membrane state under stressful conditions (3). Bcl-xL is phosphorylated by JNK following treatment with microtubule-damaging agents, such as paclitaxel, vinblastine, and nocodazole (4,5).
