General description

17 kDa
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 H3 set contains purified rabbit polyclonal antibody and the normal rabbit IgG antibody, which can be used to demonstrate that the acetyl-histone H3 antibody is capable of precipitating acetyl-histone H3 associated chromatin. The qPCR primers included flank the human GAPDH promoter and produce a 166 base pair PCR product.
Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Acetylation is generally linked to gene activation. Acetylation on Lys-10 (H3K9ac) impairs methylation at Arg-9 (H3R8me2s). Acetylation on Lys-19 (H3K18ac) and Lys-24 (H3K24ac) favors methylation at Arg-18 (H3R17me).

Immunogen

The acetyl-histone H3 antibody is made against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-20 of Tetrahymena histone H3 ARTKQTAR[K*]STGG[K*]APRKQL(C) where K* is acetylated)

Application

Acetyl-Histone H3 ChIP validated antibody & primer set including the ChIP-grade antibody & the specific control PCR primers used for chromatin immunoprecipitation of H3Ac.
Western Blot Analysis:
Acid-extracted proteins from HeLa cells treated with 5 mM sodium butyrate for 24 hours (Lane 2) and untreated HeLa cells (Lane 1) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-acetyl-Histone H3 (0.01 μg/mL).
Proteins were visualized using a goat-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemilumnescence detection system (Please see figures).

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."

Technical Guide to Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Critical Factors for Success

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.
