Bcl-X

Description:
bcl-X has two isoforms, bcl-XL (long) a 241 amino acid protein and bcl-XS (short) a 178 amino acid protein lacking a 63 amino acid domain that is well conserved among members of the bcl-2 family. bcl-x reacts with both bcl-X S and Bcl-X L proteins.

Application:
- Flow Cytometry
- Immunofluorescence
- Immunoprecipitation (Native verified)(Use Protein A) (Ab at 2µg/mg protein lysate)
- Western Blotting (Not optimum)
- Immunohistology (Formalin/paraffin)(Use Ab 2-4µg/ml for 30 min at RT)
- Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
-THE OPTIMAL DILUTION SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE INDIVIDUAL LAB.


Immunogen:
A synthetic peptide, aa 3-14 (Cys-QSNRELVVDFLS) of human Bcl-X protein. This amino acid sequence is shared by human and murine bcl-X protein.
