  • Product overview

    Acetylation of histones such histone H3 has been involved in the regulation of chromatin structure and the recruitment of transcription factors to gene promoters. HATs (histone acetyltransferases) and HDACs (histone deacetylases) play a critical role in controlling histone H3 acetylation. Histone acetylation is tightly involved in cell cycle regulation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. An imbalance in the equilibrium of histone acetylation has been associated with tumorigenesis and cancer progression.

    EpiSeeker ChIP Kit - Histone H3 (acetyl) (ab117148) enables the user to investigate in vivo H3 (acetyl)-DNA interactions within 5 hours. The kit is suitable for combining the specificity of immunoprecipitation with qualitative and quantitative PCR, MS-PCR, DNA sequencing, and southern blot, as well as DNA microarray.

    If you are using tissue as your starting sample material, we recommend the use of EpiSeeker ChIP Kit - Histone H3 (acetyl) - Tissue (ab117150)

EpiSeeker ChIP Kit - Histone H3 (acetyl) images

  • Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells according to the EpiSeeker ChIP Kit protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 100ml of chromatin (diluted at a 1:1 ratio with ECA4) and 2mg of ab117148 (blue). 2µg of normal Mouse IgG antibody was added as the negative control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.

FOr your ChIP experiment 1 ul of elute could be sufficient. In general, the concentration of DNA is about 3-12 ng/ul (if elute is 20 ul) depending on the starting materials.

Thank you for your patience.

The lab sent me the following explanation:

The kit is designed for 24 reactions (not 24 samples). Thus, 25 ul of proteinase K should be sufficient for 24 reactionsas only 1 ul of proteinase K is required p...

Thank you for getting back to me.

I can understand your reservation in wanting to try the experiment again. I don't think leaving the DNA sample to stand with the column for a minute will in itself improve the results much but I think that this ...

I have discussed this case with the source of this kit. Based on the information provided it seems that the problem is either with the way that the DNA is bound to the column, or with how it is eluted fr...

The kit developer says that the ECA7 buffer does not contain chaotropic reagents. Let me know if you continue to have difficulty isolating the DNA.

Thank you for providing that information.

I am sorry to have to ask you those questions as it is clear you have followed the protocol as it is written but we often find that even when the protocols to kits are used, it is often quite easy to mis...
