Target data

Function

Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.Has broad antibacterial activity. May contribute to the formation of the functional antimicrobial barrier of the colonic epithelium, and to the bactericidal activity of amniotic fluid.

  • ChIP - Anti-Histone H2B antibody - ChIP Grade (ab1790), expandable thumbnail

    ChIP - Anti-Histone H2B antibody - ChIP Grade (ab1790)

    Chromatin was prepared from U2OS 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 ab1790 (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.

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Histone H2B antibody - ChIP Grade (ab1790)

    Histone H2B - ChIP Grade was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg HeLa whole cell extract, 5μg of Rabbit polyclonal to and 50μl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).

    The antibody was incubated under agitation with 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 ab1790.

    Western blot - Anti-Histone H2B antibody - ChIP Grade (ab1790)

    ab1790 at 1/3000 detecting Histone H2B from Xenopus laevis (S phase egg extracts - whole cell lysates 60ug per lane) by Western Blot. The egg extracts were fractionated using a gel filtration column and every other fraction (4 - 26) was loaded onto a 8-16% gel. The input corresponds to 1ul of crude extract. In this experiment an HRP conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.
