Research Sub CategoryHistones
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 µL of Normal rabbit IgG or 4 µL Anti-Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) and the Magna ChIP® A Kit (Cat. # 17-610).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using Control Primers as a positive locus on the GAPDH promoter, and β-Globin primers as a negative locus. (Please see figures).
Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.
Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Recombinant histone H3 (Catalog # 14-411, lane 1) and acid extracts from sodium butyrate treated (lane 2) and untreated (lane 3) HeLa cells (Catalog # 17-305) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) (1:1,000 dilution).
Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. (Please see pictures).
Histone-Peptide Specificity Assay: Representative lot data.
A 1:1,000 – 1:5,000 dilution of anti-acetyl Histone H3 (Lys4) was incubated with a cocktail of microspheres conjugated to histone H3
peptides with the following modifications:
1. Unmodified, containing Lys 4, 9, 14 and 18
2. Acetyl-lysine 4
3. Acetyl-lysine 9
4. Acetyl-lysine 14
5. Acetyl-lysine 18
6. Acetyl-lysine 23
7. Acetyl-lysine 27
Unbound antibody was then removed by filtration. Peptide-antibody complexes were incubated with a biotin-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody followed by incubation with a phycoerythrin-streptavidin conjugate. Fluorescence was read on a Luminex™ 100™ instrument.
Median Fluorescence Intensity (MFI) is plotted (Please see figures).
