General description

Every lot of the ChIPAb+ line of antibodies is individually validated for chromatin precipitation, in order to guarantee successful ChIP assays every time. Each antibody includes a control primer set for performance confirmation. ERα antibody is functionally validated in the precipitation of ERα associated chromatin.
The qPCR primers included flank the ERα binding site in human pS2 promoter.

Specificity

Estrogen Receptor α

Immunogen

The ERα antibody is made against aa 120-170 of bovine estrogen α.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin, prepared from 3x106 MCF7 cells that are either estrogen starved or b-estradiol treated (100 nM, 45 min.) was subjected to chromatin
immunoprecipitation using 4 mL anti-ERa and the Magna ChIP® G (Cat.# 17-611) kit Standard Protocol. Successful enrichment of ER associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers TFF1 (pS2) flanking the human TFF1 promoter that contains an ER binding site (Please see figures).
Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP G (Cat.# 17-409) or EZ-ChIP (Cat.# 17-371) kit protocols for experimental details.

Western Blot Analysis:
MCF7cell lysate was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-ERa (1:1000 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system (Please see figures).

25 assays per kit. ~4 μL per chromatin immunoprecipitation.

Quality

Chromatin immunoprecipitation:
