Product Name:

Bcl-xL (54H6) Rabbit mAb

Catalog Number:

2764

Clone Number:

Our lab studies the role of mTOR signaling in CD8 T cell differentiation and function. mTOR signaling controls the metabolic programming of T cells but is also very important in controlling cell survival to prevent apoptosis by increasing anti-apoptotic transcription factors. Therefore, we analyzed Bcl-xL protein expression in lysates.

Summary

The Good

Great antibody at good dilution. Can reuse diluted antibody if stored properly.

The Bad

None whatsoever

The Bottom Line

Great and reliable antibody to detect the anti-apoptotic transcription factor Bcl-xL in lysates for immunoblot analysis.
