for Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody (pAb)Background
Histone H4 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression.
Lysine N-acetylation is a dynamic, reversible and tightly regulated protein and histone modification that plays a major role in chromatin remodeling and in the regulation of gene expression in various cellular functions. Acetylation of histone H4 occurs at several different lysine positions in the histone tail, and is performed by Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) such as Hat1 or Gcn5. Acetylation of histones is often associated with transcriptional activation.
for Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody (pAb)Immunogen
This Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody was raised against a peptide containing the amino terminal region of Tetrahymena histone H2A acetylated at multiple lysines. (The immunogen has a high degree of homology to mammalian histone H4, so the antibody recognizes acetylated histone H4 in HeLa extracts).
for Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody (pAb)Application Notes
This Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody has been validated for use in chromatin IP (10 µg per ChIP), immunofluorescence (1 - 2 µg/ml) and Western blotting (1 - 2 µg/ml).

Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody (pAb) tested by Western blot.
HeLa nuclear extract (20 µg per lane) probed with Histone H4 pan-acetyl (1 µg per ml).
Lane 1: no treatment. Lane 2: cells treated with sodium butyrate.
Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody (pAb) tested by dot blot analysis.
Dot blot analysis was used to confirm the specificity of Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody for acetyl histone H4. An acetylated peptide corresponding to the immunogen (Lane 1) as well an unacetylated histone H4 peptide (Lane 2) were spotted onto PVDF and probed with Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody at 1 µg /ml. The amount of peptide (picomoles) spotted is indicated next to each row.
Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody tested by ChIP analysis.
Chromatin IP performed using the ChIP-IT® Express Kit (Catalog No. 53008) and HeLa Chromatin (1.5 x 10^6 cell equivalents per ChIP) using 3 µg of Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody or the equivalent amount of rabbit IgG as a negative control. Real time, quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was performed on DNA purified from each of the ChIP reactions using a primer pair specific for the indicated gene. Data are presented as Fold Enrichment of the ChIP antibody signal versus the negative control IgG using the ddCT method.
Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody tested by immunofluorescence.
HeLa cells stained at 2 µg/ml with Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody. Top panel: Histone H4 pan-acetyl antibody. Middle panel: DAPI. Bottom panel: merge.
