Bcl 2 (BCL2, Bcl-2, B Cell CLL/lymphoma 2)

Antibodies / Antibodies-Cancer Markers, Leukemia

4°C (-20°C Glycerol)

Supplied as a liquid in Tris saline, pH 7.3, 0.5% BSA, 0.02% sodium azide, before the addition of glycerol to 40%.

Synthetic peptide with the sequence [AGRTGYDNREIVMKYC] located at the N Terminus of the protein sequence.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:16, 000
Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml. Detects a band at ~26kD.
Optimal dilution to be determined by researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Peptide Blocking:
Corresponding peptide is available for Peptide Blocking studies. See B0807-02E-P. Antibody is typically 0.5mg/ml and peptide is supplied as a 100ul pellet. When peptide is reconstituted in 200ul water, the concentration would also be 0.5mg/ml. To start, the best ratio would be 1:1 (molar excess of peptide relative to antibody when identical volumes are mixed). Mix equal volumes of peptide and antibody at the required dilution and leave at ambient temperature. It is best is to have two identical blots to be incubated with equal amount of antibody, but one with the antibody pre-adsorbed to the peptide for 20min. Then incubate and develop the two blots in parallel.
