Scientific Data

Western Blot

Detection of Bcl‑x_Lby Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cell line, C6 rat glioma cell line, and RAW 264.7 mouse monocyte/macrophage cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Bcl-x_LMonoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB894) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF008). A specific band was detected for Bcl-x_Lat approximately 25 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of Human Bcl‑x_Lby Simple Western^TM. Simple Western lane view shows lysates of K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line and NIH‑3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Bcl‑x_Lat approximately 33 kDa (as indicated) using 5 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Bcl‑x_LMonoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB894). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Detection of Bcl‑x_L in Human Prostate. Bcl‑x_L was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Prostate using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Bcl‑x_L Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB894) at 3 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Rabbit IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC003). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to secretetory vesicles in epithelial cells.

Background: Bcl-xL

Bcl-x_L is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that regulates outer mitochondrial membrane permeability (1, 2). Bcl-x_L is an anti-apoptotic member that prevents release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria intermembrane space into the cytosol. Bcl-x_L is present on the outer mitochondrial membrane and is also found on other membranes in some cell types. Natural Bcl-x_L contains a carboxyl-terminal mitochondria targeting sequence. Recombinant Bcl-x_L missing the mitochondrial targeting sequence maintains its ability to neutralize pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. Neutralization by Bcl-x_L appears to be mediated through binding the BH3 region of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members. This activity does not require the mitochondrial targeting sequence.
