BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse Anti-Human Bcl-2
Clone Bcl-2/100 (also known as 100) (RUO)




Flow cytometric analysis for Bcl-2 in human PBMC. Human PBMC were fixed and permeabilized using BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ (Cat. No. 554714) followed by staining either with a BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse IgG1, κ isotype control (unshaded) or with the BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse Anti-Human Bcl-2 antibody (shaded). Histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics for lymphocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD™ LSR II flow cytometry system.

Preparation And Storage
Recommended Assay Procedures
BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (compensation). When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to BD® CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells. However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls. It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and BD® CompBeads to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.
Product Notices
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
- BD Horizon V450 has a maximum absorption of 406 nm and maximum emission of 450 nm. Before staining with this reagent, please confirm that your flow cytometer is capable of exciting the fluorochrome and discriminating the resulting fluorescence.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).

The Bcl-2/100 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes human Bcl-2, also known as B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2. A synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 41-54 (GAAPAPGIFSSQPG) of human Bcl-2 was used as the immunogen. This ~26 kDa intracellular protein is encoded by BCL2 (BCL2 apoptosis regulator) which belongs to the Bcl-2 family of regulatory proteins. Bcl-2 is expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum, the outer mitochondrial membrane, and the nuclear envelope. Bcl-2 inhibits apoptosis and is involved in autophagy signaling. It is variably expressed in different cell types including hematopoietic progenitor cells, cells belonging to the T cell and B cells lineages, neurons, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, and melanocyte progenitors. Bcl-2 can form homodimers or heterodimers with other Bcl-2 family members that either block or promote apoptosis. Abnormal expression of Bcl-2 is associated with certain cancers including prostate cancer and B-cell lymphoma.
