    • Chromatin immunoprecipitation using ab500 ChIP Kit and Histone H3 (tri methyl K9) antibody (ab8898). Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells using the Abcam ChIP kit protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. ChIP was performed with 2 µg of ab8898 (blue). No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active/inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of transcribed region.
    • Chromatin immunoprecipitation using ab500 ChIP Kit and Histone H3 (tri methyl K4) antibody (ab12209). Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells using the Abcam ChIP kit protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. ChIP was performed with 5 µg of ab12209 (blue). No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active/inactive loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
    • Chromatin immunoprecipitation using ab500 ChIP Kit and Histone H3 antibody (ab1791). Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells using the Abcam ChIP kit protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. ChIP was performed with 2 µg of ab1791 (blue). No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active/inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.

    The kit is for 24 assays. It is 100 µl per ChIP. With 3000 µl DNA purifying slurry, you can do 30 ChIPs. But you are correct, you have to also use 100 µl per INPUT. So with this kit, you can do 24 assays + 6 INPUT.

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I am happy to confirm that it is normal to have precipitation at 4°C in buffer D. This is due to the SDS as you said in your email.

    It is important to bring the buffer to room temperature before adding i...

    Thank you for your enquiry regarding ab500.

    We never tested this kit on FUNGI chromatin. You may need to optimize first the shearing conditions. Afterwards, if you use a specific antibody to FUNGI chromatin, the kit will probably work.

    DNA purification slurry is often used for DNA extraction. The extraction is set up under aqueous alkaline conditions. In this environment, the slurry has an increased affinity for heavy metal cations such as Ca2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+. Nuclear DNA and RNA remai...

    Buffer D contains a high concentration of SDS. So, sometimes with low temperature, crystals will begin to form in this buffer. We recommend making sure that there are no crystals in the Buffer D by gently heating and mixing until crystals disappear.

    Thank you for contacting abcam.

    Earlier we spoke about your use of ab500 ChIP kit in conjunction with ab10812. You mentioned that the kit appears to work without the antibody added, but when using both ab10812 and the beads you do not get any sig...

    In answer to your questions:
    1. 1. I would like to give the chip- DNA for chIP-seq. Is the kit produced DNA compatible for Chip-seq?
    No, because DNA purification by the slurry is n...

    I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
    I have been trying to arrange to send replacement vials of the DNA slurry which had leaked. However, this is taking longer than expected. In order to help the customer as soon as possible, I can provid...

    Thank you for contacting us.

    ab500 has been validated using only the formaldehyde cross-linking. Using other cross-linking agent might require the optimization, especially the shearing condition (avoid over-fixation leading to "rigid" chromatin) ...

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I am happy to confirm that ab500 (ChIP Kit) is suitable for this antibody since it can be used with rabbit antibodies.
