Scientific Data Images for Human BIK Antibody

BIK antibody in Human Lymphoma by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P).

BIK in Human Lymphoma.

BIK was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human lymphoma tissue using Sheep Anti-Human BIK Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5474) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Sheep HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS019) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Human BIK antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human BIK by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of Ramos human Burkitt's lymphoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human BIK Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF5474) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for BIK at approximately 22 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.

Background: BIK

Bcl-2-interacting killer (BIK; also known as NBK, BP4 and BIP-1) is a 19 kDa member of the BH3-only subfamily, Bcl-2 family of proteins. It is widely expressed, and serves as an initiator of cell death. It apparently participates in apoptosis by sequestering antiapoptotic cytoplasmic proteins of the Bcl-2 family and in autophagy by regulating cytosolic calcium levels. Human BIK-1 is 160 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one BH3 domain (aa 57‑74), a “death segment” (aa 121‑134) and a transmembrane domain (aa 136‑156). BIK is likely to embed in both outer mitochondrial and ER membranes. Over amino acids 1‑135, human BIK shares only 45% aa identity with mouse BIK.
