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 (Lys16) set includes the Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys16) antibody, a negative control normal rabbit IgG, and qPCR primers which amplify a 178 bp region of human RPL10 promoter. The Acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys16) 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 (Lys16)-associated chromatin.

Specificity

Broad species cross-reactivity is expected based on sequence homology.
This antibody detects histone H4 acetylated at Lys16.

Immunogen

Epitope: Acetylated H4 Lys16
KLH-conjugated Histone H4 corresponding to the N-terminus region at and around acetylated Lys16.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Representative lot data.
Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 10E6 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using either 2 µg of Normal rabbit IgG or 2 µL of Anti-acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys16) and the Magna ChIP A Kit (Cat. # 17-610).
Successful immunoprecipitation of acetyl-Histone H4 (Lys16) associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, RPL10 Promoter as a positive locus, and β-Globin primers as a negative locus. (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 ChIP A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.

Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Recombinant Histone H4 (Cat # 14-697) (lane1) and HeLa acid extract (lane 2) was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF and probed with anti-Acetyl Histone H4 (Lys16) (0.1 μg/mL).
Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Arrow indicates Acetyl Histone H4 (Lys16) (~10 kDa) (Please see figures).

Multiplexing (Luminex):
Representative lot data.
This antibody specifically recognizes histone H4 acetylated on Lys16 by Luminex assay (Please see figures).

Peptide Inhibition Assay:
Representative lot data.
This antibody peptide blocked on HeLa cell extracts (Please see figures).

Dysregulation of the homeostatic balance of histone H3 di- and tri-methyl lysine 27 (H3K27me2/3) levels caused by the mis-sense mutation of histone H3 (H3K27M) is reported to be associated with various types of cancers. In this study, we found that

We previously reported that sevoflurane anesthesia reversibly suppresses the expression of the clock gene, Period2 (Per2), in the mouse suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this suppression remain unclear. In this study, we examined the possibility that sevoflurane

The BRAF V600E mutation causes impaired expression of sodium iodide symporter (NIS) and radioiodine refractoriness of thyroid cancer, but the underlying mechanism remains undefined. In this study, we hypothesized that histone deacetylation at the NIS (SLC5A5) promoter was the mechanism.

Clinical efficacy of redifferentiation therapy with histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) for lethal radioiodine-refractory papillary thyroid cancer (RR-PTC) is urgently needed to be improved. Given that the impairment of histone acetylation is a mechanism in BRAF V600E-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-induced aberrant
