Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: Use at a concentration of 0.01 - 0.1 µg/ml.
ICC/IF: 1/100.
IP: Use at a concentration of 2-5 µg/ml.
WB: Use at a concentration of 0.1 - 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 17 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 15 kDa).

This antibody is not ChIP grade. Results shown in the image indicate a slight enrichment at heterchromatic loci. This suggests the antibody may exhibit some cross-reactivity with histone modifications localized at these regions. We would welcome feedback about this antibodies performance in ChIP.

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that, together with DNA, make up the nucleosome structure in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer, which is composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin structure is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone H1.

Methylation of specific residues in the histone tails is a central modification for regulating epigenetic transitions in chromatin. Modified lysine residues can exist in a mono-, di-, or tri-methylated state, whilst arginine residues can be mono- or di-methylated.

ChIP - Histone H3 (tri methyl K4) antibody (ab71998)

Chromatin was prepared from Jurkat cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10min. The  ChIP was performed with 25µg of chromatin, 2µg of  ab71998 (blue), and 20µl of protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active and inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
