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+ Dimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) set includes the Anti-dimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) antibody, a negative control antibody (purified Mouse IgG), and qPCR primers which amplify a 110 bp region within the promoter of the human β-globin gene. The dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys9) and negative control antibodies are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys9) associated chromatin.
Dimethyl-histone H3 at ~17 kDa
Immunogen
Epitope: a.a. 1-18
The dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys9) purified antibody is made against a synthetic peptide (dimethylated at Lys9) corresponding to amino acids 1-18 of histone H3.
Application
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 10⁶ cell equivalents per IP) was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 2 µg of either a normal mouse IgG or Anti-dimethyl-Histone H3 (Lys9) antibody and the Magna ChIP G (Cat. #17-611) Kit. Successful immunoprecipitation of dimethyl-histone H3 (Lys9) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using β-globin ChIP Primers versus Control Primers (Please see figures). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the EZ-Magna G ChIP (Cat. #17-408) or EZ-ChIP (Cat. #17-371) protocol for experimental details.
Dot Blot Analysis: Absurance Histone H3 Antibody Specificity Array (Cat. No. 16-667) and Absurance Histone H2A, H2B, H4 Antibody Specificity Array (Cat. No. 16-665), which contain histone peptides with various modifications were probed with Anti-dimethyl H3 (Lys9) at 2.0ug/mL (1:500) dilution. Proteins were visualized using a Donkey anti-mouse IgG conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Western Blot Analysis:
Recombinant Histone H3 (Lane 1) and HeLa acid extract (Lane 2) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF membrane and probed with Anti-dimethyl Histone H3 (Lys9), clone CMA307 (0.1 μg/ml). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Multiplexing:
This antibody specifically recognizes histone H3 dimethylated on Lys9 by Luminex assay.
ELISA: This antibody has been shown by an outside laboratory to be suitable for ELISA.
Immunocytochemistry: This antibody has been shown by an outside laboratory to be suitable for immunocytochemistry.
