ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) - ChIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set, rabbit monoclonal

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+ Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) set includes the Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) antibody, a negative control normal rabbit IgG, and qPCR primers which amplify a 213 bp region of human GAPDH coding region. The Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) associated chromatin.

Specificity

This antibody detects histone H4 acetylated at Lys12.

Wide range of cross-reactivity expected based on sequence homology.

Immunogen

Epitope: Unknown

Peptide corresponding to Histone H4 containing the sequence [GLG-AcK-GGA] on which Lys12 is acetylated.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 10E6 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using either 2 µL of Negative Control Supernatant, or 2 µL of Anti-Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) and the Magna ChIP^® A Kit (Cat. # 17-610).
Successful immunoprecipitation of Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12)-associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, human GAPDH Coding Region as a positive locus, and a gene desert region as a negative locus. (Figure 2). 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 ChIP A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.
Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Lysates from HeLa cells untreated or sodium butyrate treated (Lanes 1 and 2 respectively) were resolved probed with anti-acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) (1:1,000). Arrow indicates Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12).
Arrow indicates Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys12) (~11 kDa) (Figure 3).
