General description

Histone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H4 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure.
This antibody recognizes histone H4 independant of any post-translational modifications.

Specificity

Broad species cross-reactivity expected based on sequence homology.
Recognizes Histone H4, Mr 10 kDa.

Immunogen

Epitope: a.a. 25-28
KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 17-28 of Histone H4. Epitope has been mapped to residues 25-28.

Application

Anti-Histone H4 Antibody, pan, clone 62-141-13 is a Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody for detection of Histone H4 also known as Histone H4 & has been validated in ChIP, WB, Mplex, ChIP-seq.
Epitope Mapping (using Luminex®):
1:250-1:4,000 serial dilutions of a previous lot were incubated with histone peptides containing various unmodified peptides spanning the amino-terminus of Histone H4 conjugated to Luminex microspheres. The antibody recognized both modified and unmodified peptides (See Figure B Page 2).

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
An independent laboratory used a previous lot of this antibody in chromatin immunoprecipitation (Issac, C., 2006).
Research Category
Epigenetics & Nuclear Function
Research Sub Category
Histones

Quality

Routinely evaluated by western blot.

Western Blot Analysis:
A 1:30,000-1:100,000 dilution of this lot detected unmodified recombinant Histone H4 protein (Catalog # 14-412) and Histone H4 in acid extracts from both untreated HeLa cells and cells treated with sodium butyrate (hyper-acetylated) or colcemid (hyper-phosphorylated)
