Additional info: Bcl2 (B cell chronic lymphatic leukemia protein 2) is a proto-oncogen, which can contribute to tumorigenesis by counteracting apoptosis in various cell types. The anti-apoptotic effect of Bcl2 is performed by its interactions with suppressors and agonists of cell death and under physiological conditions it is regulated by proteolytic processing and phosphorylation. Bcl2 expression can be detected mainly in lymphoid tissues and in the basal cells of epithelial tissues. It is also a marker that can help in classification of lymphoproliferative diseases and in prognostics of some epithelial neoplasms.SpecificityThe mouse monoclonal antibody B2M-02 reacts with beta2-microglobulin (beta2M), an extracellular antigen associated with cell-surface MHC Class I molecules and other membrane antigens, as well as it reacts with soluble beta2-microglobulin. Beta2M is a 12 kDa Ig like glycoprotein expressed on lymphocytes, thymocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, platelets, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. It is absent on erythrocytes.Application detailsFlow cytometry: Recommended dilution: 1-5 μg/ml. Intracellular staining.
