Anti-Bax(BAX/962), CF594 conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

This antibody recognizes a protein of 21 kDa, identified as the Bax protein. This MAb is highly specific to Bax and shows no cross-reaction with Bcl-2 or Bcl-X protein. Bcl-2 blocks cell death following a variety of stimuli. Bax has extensive amino acid homology with Bcl-2 and it homodimerizes and forms heterodimers with Bcl-2. Overexpression of Bax accelerates apoptotic death induced by cytokine deprivation in an IL-3 dependent cell line, and Bax also counters the death repressor activity of Bcl-2.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF(R) Dyes and other labels. CF(R) Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF(R)405S and CF(R)405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors. Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL Storage buffer: PBS, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% azide
