How to cite this plasmid ( Back to top)

These plasmids were created by your colleagues. Please acknowledge the Principal Investigator, cite the article in which the plasmids were described, and include Addgene in the Materials and Methods of your future publications.

  • For your Materials & Methods section:

    GFP-Bcl2-Cb5 was a gift from Clark Distelhorst (Addgene plasmid # 18000 ; http://n2t.net/addgene:18000 ; RRID:Addgene_18000)
  • For your References section:

    Transient expression of wild-type or mitochondrially targeted Bcl-2 induces apoptosis, whereas transient expression of endoplasmic reticulum-targeted Bcl-2 is protective against Bax-induced cell death.
