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 set includes purified rabbit polyclonal antiserum and the normal rabbit IgG antiserum, which can be used to demonstrate that the acetyl-histone H4 antibody is capable of precipitating acetyl-histone H4 associated chromatin. The qPCR primers included flank the human GAPDH promoter and produce a 166 base pair PCR product.

Specificity

Predicted broad cross-reactivity among eukaryotes based upon sequence similarity.
Recognizes acetylated histone H4 of approximately 10 kDa. Cross-reacts with acetylated histone H2B from Tetrahymena and weakly crossreacts with acetylated histone H2B from HeLa cells.
May cross-react with other acetylated proteins.

Immunogen

The acetyl-histone H4 antiserum is made against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 2-19 of Tetrahymena histone H4.

Application

Research Category
Epigenetics & Nuclear Function
Research Sub Category
Histones
This ChIPAb+ Acetyl-Histone H4 -ChIP Validated Antibody & Primer Set conveniently includes the antibody & the specific control PCR primers.
Western Blot Analysis:
Acidextracted proteins from normal HeLa cells (Lane 1) and HeLa cells treated with 5 mM sodium butyrate for 24 hours (Lane 2) were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-acetyl Histone H4 (1:2000).
Proteins were visualized using a goat-anti rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemi-luminescence detection system. (Please see figures).

Packaging

25 assays per set. ~4 μL per chromatin immunoprecipitation

Quality

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Sonicated chromatin prepared from untreated HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents) was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 4 μL of either a normal rabbit antiserum or Anti-Acetyl Histone
H4 serum and the Magna ChIP A (Cat. # 17-610) Kit. Successful immunoprecipitation of acetyl histone H4 associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using control ChIP Primers flanking the human GAPDH promoter (Please see figures).
Please refer to the EZ-Magna A ChIP (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.

Although Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is widely distributed, certain EBV-driven malignancies are geographically restricted. EBV-associated Burkitt's lymphoma (eBL) is endemic in children living in sub-Saharan Africa. This population is heavily exposed to food contaminated with the mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 (AFB1).

Many studies have proved that oncogenic viruses develop redundant mechanisms to alter the functions of the tumor suppressor p53. Here we show that Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), via the oncoprotein LMP-1, induces the expression of ΔNp73α, a strong antagonist of p53.
