Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein per lane) from HAP1 WT cells (Horizon Cat. No. C631) or HAP1 BCL2L1 (Bcl-X) Knockout cells (Horizon Cat. No. HD HAP1-65076) were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with Purified anti-Bcl-XL (clone W23168D). Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405). Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-GAPDH (Cat. No. 607903) was used as a loading control. Western-Ready™ ECL Substrate Premium Kit (Cat. No. 426319) was used as a detection agent. Lane M: Molecular weight marker. -
IHC staining of BCL-XL was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human prostate cancer tissue following antigen retrieval using 1X Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 Antigen Retrieval Buffer (Cat. No. 422704). The tissue sections were incubated without (panel A) or with anti-BCL-XL (clone W23168D) (panel B and C) followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801) (overlay in panels A and C). Scale Bar: 50 µm -
HAP1 WT cells (positive cell line, filled histogram) (Horizon Cat. No. C631) and HAP1 BCL2L1 (Bcl-X) Knockout cells (negative cell line, open histogram) (Horizon Cat. No. HAP1-65076) were fixed and permeabilized using True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 424401) and intracellularly stained with Purified anti-BCL-XL (clone W23168D) or Purified Rat IgG2a Isotype Control (open histogram, dashed line, representative of both the positive and negative cell lines) (Cat No. 400501) followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416).

Bcl-X, a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, is encoded by the BCL2L1 gene and plays a crucial role in regulating apoptosis. Bcl-X exists in two main isoforms: Bcl-XL, which is anti-apoptotic, and Bcl-XS, which is pro-apoptotic. The balance between these isoforms is regulated through alternative splicing, influenced by various splice factors, transcription factors, and signaling pathways. Dysregulation of Bcl-X splicing has been implicated in several diseases, particularly cancer and diabetes. In cancer, overexpression of Bcl-XL can lead to resistance to chemotherapy, while in diabetes, increased Bcl-XS expression can result in apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells.

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.125 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is ≤ 0.125 µg per million cells in 100 µL volume. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Application Notes
-
Due to homology, this antibody may detect the isoform Bcl-XS (18.8 kDa) which is a result of alternative splicing. However, in Western Blot, this isoform was not detected. The canonical sequence, isoform Bcl-XL, was detected by this antibody in Western Blot.
- Additional Product Notes
-
For use of this antibody in intracellular flow cytometry (ICFC), we recommend fixation and permeabilization either using True-Nuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer set (Cat. No. 424401) or Cyto-Fast™ Fix-Perm Buffer set (Cat. No. 426803).
We DO NOT recommend using True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (Cat. No. 425401).
For use of this antibody in immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (IHC-P), we recommend antigen retrieval using either Citrate Buffer (Cat. No. 420902), or Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 Antigen Retrieval Buffer (Cat. No. 422704). - RRID
