General description

66 kDa
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.

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).

Advance your Epigenetics Research

Epigenetics describes heritable changes in gene expression caused by non-genetic mechanisms. Epigenetic regulation allows a cell to vary its response based on its biological and environmental contexts. Epigenetic changes can effect transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation via mechanisms such as histone modification, chromatin and nucleosome remodeling, DNA methylation, and small and non-coding RNA-mediated regulation. These mechanisms, in cooperation with transcription factors and other nucleic acid-binding proteins, regulate gene expression. Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation impacts diverse areas of research—from agriculture to human health. Common epigenetic assays such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) rely on high quality antibodies that recognize specific epigenetic modifications for accurate results. EMD Millipore offers over 100 ChIPAb+™ and RIPAb+™ validated antibody kits that are quality tested on ChIP/RIP assays and are conveniently provided with control qPCR primers and negative control antibodies to ensure first time ChIP/RIP success.

Shaping Epigenetics Discovery - Epigenetics Product Selection Brochure

"Epigenetics describes heritable changes in gene expression caused by non-genetic mechanisms instead of by alterations in DNA sequence. These changes can be cell- or tissue-specific, and can be passed on to multiple generations. Epigenetic regulation enriches DNAbased information, allowing a cell to vary its response across diverse biological and environmental contexts. Although epigenetic mechanisms are primarily centered in the nucleus, these mechanisms can be induced by environmental signals such as hormones, nutrients, stress, and cellular damage, pointing to the involvement of cytoplasmic and extracellular factors in epigenetic regulation."
