Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Representative lot data.
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 10E6 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 1 µL of either Normal Rabbit Serum, or 1 µL of Anti-Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18), and the Magna ChIP^® A Kit (Cat. # 17-610). Successful immunoprecipitation of acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using Control Primers specific for the human GAPDH promoter region as a positive locus and human β-globin primers 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.
Acid extracts from untreated (lane 1), sodium butyrate treated (lane 2, Catalog # 17-305) HeLa cells and recombinant Histone
H3, (Lane 3, Catalog # 14-411) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with Anti-Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18) (1:5,000 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Arrow indicates Acetyl-histone H3 (Lys9/18) (~17kDa). (Figure 3).
Beadlyte™ Histone-Peptide Specificity Assay:
Representative lot data.
1:1,000-1:40,000 dilutions of anti-acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18) were incubated with a cocktail of microspheres conjugated to histone H3 peptides with the following modifications:
1. acetyl-lysine 4
2. acetyl-lysine 14
3. acetyl-lysine 9
4. acetyl-lysine 18
5. No modifications, containing aa 1-20
Unbound antibody was removed by filtration. The peptide-antibody complexes were incubated with a biotin-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody followed by incubation with a phycoerythrin-streptavidin conjugate.
Fluorescence was read on a Luminex™ 100™ instrument. Median
fluorescence intensity (MFI) is plotted. (Figure 4).

General description

Histone H3 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure.

Acetylation of histone H3 occurs at several different lysine positions in the histone tail and is performed by a family of enzymes known as Histone Acetyl Transferases (HATs).

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 H3 (Lys9/18) set includes the Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18) antibody, a Normal rabbit serum, and control primers which amplify a 166 bp region of human GAPDH promoter. The Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18) and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Acetyl-Histone H3 (Lys9/18)-associated chromatin.

Immunogen

Storage and Stability

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.
Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
