Blocking and diluting buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST ab240650 was shown to specifically react with EED in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in EED knockout cells. Wild-type and EED knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab240650 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/100,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.  The expression profile/ molecular weight observed is consistent with what has been described in the literature (PMID:27578866, 9584199). EED cDNA encodes 441-aa-long protein and 535-aa-long protein. 

Exposure time: Lanes 1-3: 15 seconds Lanes 4-6: 37 seconds

EED was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg K562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia lymphoblast) whole cell lysate with ab240650 at 1/30 dilution (2ug in 0.35mg lysates). Western blot was performed on the immunoprecipitate using ab240650 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366) was used at 1/5000 dilution.

Lane 2: ab240650 IP in K562 whole cell lysate

Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab240650 in K562 whole cell lysate

Chromatin was prepared from NT2/D1 cells according to the Abcam Dual-X-ChIP protocol*. Cells were fixed with 1.5 mM EGS for 30mins and then formaldehyde for 10min.

The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 5 µg of ab240650 (red), or 5 µg of rabbit normal IgG ab172730 (gray) and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads.  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 commercial primers from Millipore (Cat. No.: 17-10034) and CST (85322S)

ChIP sequencing analysis of chromatin from Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells with ab240650 at 0.1 µL/µg chromatin. Cross linking was performed for 10 minutes with 1% PFA. Primary incubation was for 16 hours at 4°C in a dilution buffer containing 20mM Tris at pH8, 1.1mM EDTA, 1.1% triton, and 167mM NaCl.
