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 set includes purified rabbit polyclonal antiserum and the normal rabbit IgG antiserum, which can be used to demonstrate that the acetyl-histone H4 antibody is capable of precipitating acetyl-histone H4 associated chromatin. The qPCR primers included flank the human GAPDH promoter and produce a 166 base pair PCR product.

Specificity

Predicted broad cross-reactivity among eukaryotes based upon sequence similarity.
Recognizes acetylated histone H4 of approximately 10 kDa. Cross-reacts with acetylated histone H2B from Tetrahymena and weakly crossreacts with acetylated histone H2B from HeLa cells.
May cross-react with other acetylated proteins.

Immunogen

The acetyl-histone H4 antiserum is made against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 2-19 of Tetrahymena histone H4.

Application

Research Category
Epigenetics & Nuclear Function
Research Sub Category
Histones
This ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H4 -ChIP Validated Antibody & Primer Set conveniently includes the antibody & the specific control PCR primers.
Western Blot Analysis:
Acidextracted proteins from normal HeLa cells (Lane 1) and HeLa cells treated with 5 mM sodium butyrate for 24 hours (Lane 2) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-acetyl Histone H4 (1:2000).
Proteins were visualized using a goat-anti rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemi-luminescence detection system. (Please see figures).

Packaging

25 assays per set. ~4 μL per chromatin immunoprecipitation

Quality

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from untreated HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents) was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 μL of either a normal rabbit antiserum or Anti-Acetyl Histone
H4 serum and the Magna ChIP A (Cat. # 17-610) Kit. Successful immunoprecipitation of acetyl histone H4 associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using control ChIP Primers flanking the human GAPDH promoter (Please see figures).
Please refer to the EZ-Magna A ChIP (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.

Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is widely distributed, certain EBV-driven malignancies are geographically restricted. EBV-associated Burkitt's lymphoma (eBL) is endemic in children living in sub-Saharan Africa. This population is heavily exposed to food contaminated with the mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1).

β-Thalassemia is one of the most common inherited anemias, with no effective cure for most patients. The pathophysiology reflects an imbalance between α- and β-globin chains with an excess of free α-globin chains causing ineffective erythropoiesis and hemolysis. When α-thalassemia

Many studies have proved that oncogenic viruses develop redundant mechanisms to alter the functions of the tumor suppressor p53. Here we show that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), via the oncoprotein LMP-1, induces the expression of ΔNp73α, a strong antagonist of p53.
