Description
General description
17 kDa
Recombinant version of Cat. # 05-745, clone MC315
Immunogen
BSA-conjugated, synthetic peptide containing the sequence …RTme3KQT… in which me3K corresponds to trimethyl-lysine 4 of human histone H3.
Application
ChIP-seq Analysis:
Representative lot data. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed using the Magna ChIP HiSens kit (cat# 17-10460), 3 µL of Anti-trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) antibody (cat# 05-745R), 20 µL Protein A/G beads, and 1e6 crosslinked HeLa cell chromatin followed by DNA purification using magnetic beads. Libraries were prepared from Input and ChIP DNA samples using standard protocols with Illumina barcoded adapters, and analyzed on Illumina HiSeq instrument. An excess of eighteen million reads from FastQ files were mapped using Bowtie (http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/manual.shtml) following TagDust (http://genome.gsc.riken.jp/osc/english/dataresource/) tag removal. Peaks were identified using MACS (http://luelab.dfci.harvard.edu/MACS/), with peaks and reads visualized as a custom track in UCSC Genome Browser (http://genome.ucsc.edu) from BigWig and BED files. The highest 25% of peaks identified in the 05-745R and 07-473 datasets showed 99% overlap with peaks identified in the ENCODE H3K4me3 BROAD Histone track for HeLa S3.

Use Anti-trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) Antibody, clone 15-10C-E4, Recombinant (rabbit monoclonal antibody) proven in WB, ChIP, ChIP-seq, ELISA, PIA, Mplex, DB to detect trimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys4) also known as H3K4me3, Histone H3 (tri methyl K4).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Broad species cross-reactivity expected due to sequence homology
Recognizes Histone H3 containing trimethyl-lysine 4 and, to a lesser extent, dimethyl-lysine 4. See certificate of analysis for further details.
Physical form
Format: Purified
Protein A purified, recombinant antibody in 60 mM Tris, 90 mM NaCl, 0.03% NaN3, 60 mM Glycine, pH 7.5, 40% Glycerol.
Preparation Note
Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol-containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
Analysis Note
Routinely evaluated by immunoblot on HeLa nuclear extract
