Bcl-x is a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that regulates outer mitochondrial membrane permeability. Alternative splicing results in two distinct Bcl-x isoforms. Bcl-xL (long) is an anti-apoptotic protein that prevents release of Cytochromec from the mitochondrial intermembrane space into the cytosol. Bcl-xs (short) is a pro-apoptotic member that can initiate programmed cell death.

Product Summary for Human/Mouse Total Bcl-xL DuoSet IC ELISA
This DuoSet IC ELISA contains the basic components required for the development of sandwich ELISAs to measure total Bcl-xL in cell lysates. An immobilized capture antibody specific for Bcl-xL binds both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated Bcl-xL. After washing away unbound material, a biotinylated detection antibody is used to detect both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated protein, utilizing a standard Streptavidin-HRP format.

Standard Curve
The Human/Mouse Total Bcl-xL DuoSet® IC ELISA is specific for Bcl-xL as shown by Western Blot analysis of the protein bound by the capture antibody supplied in the kit.
Lysates prepared from A431 human epithelial carcinoma cells were incubated in wells coated with Total Bcl-xL Capture Antibody. Unbound material was removed by washing and bound material was solubilized in SDS gel sample buffer. Captured proteins were electrophoresed, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and immunoblotted with Total Bcl-xL Detection Antibody. Only a single band corresponding to human Bcl-xL was detected.Amounts of Bcl-xL, as measured by the Human/Mouse Total Bcl-xL DuoSet® IC ELISA, are consistent with the relative amounts of human and mouse Bcl-xL determined by qualitative Western Blot analysis.
A431 human epithelial carcinoma cells and NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells were lysed as described in the Preparation of Samples section in the product insert (Catalog # DYC894). Human and mouse Bcl-xL were measured with this DuoSet® IC ELISA. The same lysates were immunoblotted (inset) with rat anti-mouse Bcl-xL. The DuoSet® IC ELISA results correlate with the relative amounts of Bcl-xL detected by Western Blot.Kit Contents for Human/Mouse Total Bcl-xL DuoSet IC ELISA
