Expression of Bcl-2-a oncoprotein inhibits the programmed cell death (apoptosis). In most follicular lymphomas, neoplastic germinal centers express high levels of Bcl-2-a protein, whereas the normal or hyperplastic germinal centers are negative.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
