Description
General description
All ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction.
The ChIPAb+ MED1 (CRSP1/TRAP220) set includes a MED1 antibody, a Normal Rabbit IgG, and positive control primers which amplify 85 bp of a human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) enhancer region. The MED1 antibody and negative control IgG are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of MED1 associated chromatin.
~168 kDa based on sequence. Higher mw up to 220 kDa observed on western blots.
Immunogen
Epitope: Human MED1 (a.a. 1525-1581).
Recombinant protein corresponding to human MED1 (a.a. 1525-1581).
Application
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from hormone starved (72H), then androgen agonist induced (1 µM CI-4AS-1 overnight) LNCaP cells (~1e6 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 2 µg of either Normal Rabbit IgG (Part No. PP64B), or 2 µg Anti-MED1 (Part No.CS207349) and the Magna ChIP HiSens (Cat. # 17-10460). Successful immunoprecipitation of MED1 associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, PSA (Part No. CS207340) as a positive locus, and ChIP Primers, β-globin (Part No. CS200591) as a negative locus.

Preparation Note
Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt. Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, 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.
