ImmunoPrecipitation (IP):
The original clone 6A7 was successfully used when coupled to cepharose beads for immunoprecipitation from murine thymocyte lysates in the presence of Triton X100 or NP40. Without TX100 or NP40, IP does not work.

Biological Activity
Monomeric Specificity:
The original clone 6A7 binds in the presence of non-ionic detergent exclusively to the monomer of BAX, and not to Bax complexed with either Bcl-XL or Bcl-2.
