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.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Histone H4 (tri methyl K20) antibody - ChIP Grade (ab9053)

    Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin embedded, PFA fixed, mouse liver using ab9053 at 1/100. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using sodium citrate buffer, pH 6, and the sample was permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X 100. The sample was blocked in 5% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature and was then incubated with primary antibody for 3 hours in PBS/0.05% Triton X 100 at room temperature. An Alexa Fluor® 555 donkey anyti-rabbit was used as the secondary at 1/250.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Histone H4 (tri methyl K20) antibody - ChIP Grade (ab9053)

    IHC image of Histone H4 (tri methyl K20) staining in Human normal skin formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab9053, 0.2μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

    Chromatin was prepared from U2OS cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. The ChIP was performed with 25 μg of chromatin, 6 μl of ab9053 (blue), and 20 μl 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). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
