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+ Androgen Receptor set includes the Androgen Receptor antibody, a Normal Rabbit IgG, and control primers which amplify a 85 bp region of the human prostate specific antigen (PSA) enhancer region. The Androgen Receptor antibody and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Androgen Receptor associated chromatin.

The androgen receptor (AR) is a type of nuclear receptor which is activated by binding of either of the androgenic hormones testosterone or dihydrotestosterone. The main function of the androgen receptor is as a DNA binding transcription factor which regulates gene expression. However the androgen receptor also has additional functions independent of DNA binding. The androgen receptor is most closely related to the progesterone receptor, and progestins in higher dosages can block the androgen receptor.
Specificity
Recognizes Androgen Receptor. No cross-reactivity with estrogen, progesterone or glucocorticoid receptors.
Immunogen
Peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-21 of the Human Androgen Receptor (MEVQLGLGRVYPRPPSKTYRG)
Application
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
LNCaP cells were hormone starved for 72 hours, then induced overnight with 1 µM CI-4AS-1. ChIP was performed using ~1e5 cell equivalents per IP using 1 µg of either Normal Rabbit IgG (Part No. PP64B), or 1 µg Anti-Androgen Receptor (Part No.CS207339) and the Magna ChIP HiSens (Cat. # 17-10460). Successful immunoprecipitation of androgen receptor associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, PSA (Part No. CS207340) as a positive locus, and GAPDH Promoter (Part No. 22-004) as a negative locus. Data are presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated.
Please refer to the Magna ChIP HiSens (Cat. # 17-10460) or EZ-MagnaChIP HiSens(Cat. # 17-10461) protocol for experimental details.
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
LNCaP cells were hormone starved for 72 hours, then induced overnight with vehicle (untreated) or 1 µM CI-4AS-1 (treated). ChIP was performed using ~ 1e5 cell equivalents per IP using 3 µg of either Normal Rabbit IgG (Part No.PP64B ), or 3 µg Anti-Androgen Receptor (Part No.CS207339) and the Magna ChIP HiSens Kit (Cat. # 17-10460). Successful immunoprecipitation of androgen receptor associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, PSA (Part No. CS207340) and the negative locus was the HNRP2AB1 primer set. Delta delta Ct calculations reporting fold enrichment at the positive locus over the negative locus are reported.

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:200-1:500 dilution of this antibody detected Androgen Receptor in RIPA lysates from 20 μg of human LNCaP cells.
Immunoprecipitation:
A representative lot immunoprecipitated Androgen Receptor from 500 μg of LNCaP RIPA lysate.
Immunocytochemistry:
A 1:50 dilution of a representative lot showed positive immunostaining for Androgen Receptor in LNCaP cells fixed with 2% formaldehyde/5% acetic acid and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100.
