This data was developed using ab217668, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing SH-SY5Y cells stained with ab217668 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilised with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were incubated in nan followed by the antibody (ab217668) (1x 106in 100μl at 0.1μg/ml (1/19400)) for 30min at 22°C.

The secondary antibody Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed was incubated at 1/4000 for 30min at 22°C

Isotype control antibody (black line) was Recombinant Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 525/40 bandpass filter.

This antibody gave a positive signal in SH-SY5Y Fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) / permeabilised with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min under the same conditions.

Cal-1 cells (Human plasmacytoid dendritic cell line) were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 5 min at RT. Cross-linked cells were first washed with ice-cold PBS and then resuspended in ice-cold RIPA buffer (10mM Tris-HCl pH8, 140 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA pH 8, 0.5 mM EGTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS and 0.1% Sodium Deoxycholate) to a final concentration of 5x106 cells/ml. DNA was sheared with a Misonix XL sonicator, by performing 12 x 45'' sonication cycles at power setting of 5. For each ChIP reaction, 2x107 chromatin cell equivalents were incubated overnight with10 μg of ab217668. The following day, chromatin/antibody complexes were incubated with 50 μl of Protein G/Protein A magnetic beads mix (G to A ratio 3 : 1) for 4 h at 4°C. Normal rabbit IgG was added to the beads as control.

The TCF-4 locus ChIP-seq tracks for BRD4 (blue), RNA Pol2 (red), and TCF-4 (green) are shown for Cal-1 cells. This data was kindly provided by our collaborator Dr. Louis M. Staudt, and has been published (PMID : 27846392).

Target data

Transcription factor that binds to the immunoglobulin enhancer Mu-E5/KE5-motif. Involved in the initiation of neuronal differentiation. Activates transcription by binding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3'). Binds to the E-box present in the somatostatin receptor 2 initiator element (SSTR2-INR) to activate transcription (By similarity). Preferentially binds to either 5'-ACANNTGT-3' or 5'-CCANNTGG-3'.
