Description

This antibody is highly specific and optimized for use in Immunohistochemistry.

It has been validated on TMAs covering 76 normal tissues and numerous cancer tissues.

The antibody concentration is optimized for dilution within dilution range using commercially available antibody diluent for immunohistochemistry.

Positive Control
Postive control:Tonsil: A strong cytoplasmic bcl-2 staining should be seen in most interfollicular lymphocytes while most germinal centre cells are bcl-2 negative..

Negative Control
Negitve control:Tonsil: The vast majority of lymphocytic cells from germinal centres must be bcl-2 negative while interfollicular lymphocytes are mostly positive.

Storage
Antibody can be stored at 4degC. For extended storage, aliquot and store at -20degC. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Background: Bcl-2

The Bcl-2 family of proteins regulate apoptosis by controlling mitochondrial permeability and release of cytochrome c. Bcl-2 is an anti-apoptotic protein that resides in the outer mitochondrial wall and inhibits release of cytochrome c (1). Over-expression of Bcl-2 has been shown to promote cell survival by suppressing apoptosis. It has been documented that bcl-2 becomes deregulated in tumor cells as a result of translocation into the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus and is therefore activated in B cell malignancies (2). It has also been shown that post-translational modification of Bcl-2, phosphorylation at serine 70, may be required to render its full and/or enhanced anti-apoptotic effect (3, 4).
