    Chromatin was prepared from Hela cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with 0.75% formaldehyde for 10min. The ChIP was performed with 25μg of chromatin, 2μg of ab177840 (blue), and 20μl of Anti rabbit IgG sepharose beads. 2μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (SYBR approach). Primers are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.

    ab177840 was tested in Peptide Array against 501 different modified and unmodified histone peptides; each peptide is printed on the array at six concentrations (each in triplicate).
    Circle area represents affinity between the antibody and a peptide: all antigen-containing peptides are displayed as red circles, all other peptides as blue circles. The affinity is calculated as area under curve when antibody binding values are plotted against the corresponding peptide concentration. Each circle area is normalized to the peptide with the strongest affinity.
    The complete dataset, including full list of all peptides and information on the position of each peptide in the diagram, can be downloaded here.
