BCL6 Monoclonal Antibody (BCL-UP), APC, eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Description

Description: The monoclonal antibody BCL-UP recognizes Bcl-6, also known as B-cell lymphoma 6,which is a member of the POZ family of transcriptional repressors. Bcl-6 is expressed most abundantly in germinal center B cells, as well as in differentiating and activated B cells. This 79 kDa protein is essential for germinal center B cell proliferation and survival. During B cell development, Bcl-6 plays an important role in promoting pre-B cell survival to enable the generation of a diverse B cell repertoire. Moreover, Bcl-6 is expressed constitutively in diffuse large B cell lymphomas (DLBCLs), Burkitt's lymphoma, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Reports also suggest expression of Bcl-6 in CD4+ T follicular helper cells and memory T cells. Bcl-6 has been reported to be antagonized by Blimp-1. Applications Reported: This BCL-UP antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This BCL-UP antibody has been pre-titrated and tested in human tonsil cells by intracellular staining with the Foxp3 Fixation/Permabilization Buffers (cat. 00-5521) and protocol. Please see Best Protocols Section (Staining intracellular Antigens for Flow Cytometry) for staining protocol (refer to Protocol B: One-step protocol for intracellular (nuclear) proteins). This can be used at 5 μL (0.125 μg) per test.
