Histone H2A.X was immunoprecipitated using 5ug of ab124781 from 200ul of HeLa whole cell extract lysate diluted to 0.5mg/ml in RIPA and 50ul of Protein G magnetic beads. No antibody was added to the control (-).

The antibody was incubated under agitation with the Protein G beads for 10min, HeLa whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.

Proteins were eluted by addition of 40μl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70°C. 10μl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab124781 at 1ug/ml. The Secondary antibody was Mouse monoclonal SB62a Anti-Rabbit IgG light chain (HRP) (ab99697) at 1/10,000 dilution.

Immunogen

The exact immunogen used to generate this antibody is proprietary information.

Specificity

This antibody does not work in ICC/IF on PFA fixed cells but does work on methanol fixed cells. The immunogen used for this product shares full homology with other H2A proteins, including H2A1, H2A1B, H2A2A and H2AZ. Cross-reactivity with these proteins has not been confirmed experimentally.

Target data

The protein expressed by the H2AX gene is a variant histone H2A that replaces conventional H2A in certain nucleosomes, which are responsible for wrapping and compacting DNA into chromatin. This compaction limits DNA accessibility to cellular machineries that require DNA as a template, placing histones at the center of transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication, and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is controlled through a complex array of post-translational histone modifications, known as the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. The H2AX protein is essential for the checkpoint-mediated arrest of cell cycle progression in response to low doses of ionizing radiation and for the efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), particularly when it undergoes C-terminal phosphorylation. This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
