AbFlex® Histone H3K9ac antibody (rAb) tested by ChIP-Seq.
ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 30 µg of chromatin from PC9 cell line and 4 µg of antibody. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq and 22 million sequence tags were mapped to identify Histone H3K9ac binding sites. The image shows binding across a region of chromosome 1.

AbFlex® Histone H3K9ac antibody (rAb) tested by Luminex bead-based specificity analysis.
Luminex bead-based specificity analysis was used to confirm the specificity of AbFlex® Histone H3K9ac antibody (rAb) antibody for acetyl-lysine 9 H3. Peptides corresponding to regions around major sites of histone H3 acetylation or other acetyl-lysine peptides were conjugated to MagPlex Luminex beads and incubated with various amounts of AbFlex® Histone H3K9ac antibody (rAb). Peptide-bound antibody was detected with anti-mouse IgG-Phycoerythrin and read in a Luminex instrument.

Background

AbFlex® antibodies are recombinant antibodies (rAbs) that have been generated using defined DNA sequences to produce highly specific, reproducible antibodies. Each AbFlex antibody contains a 6xHis Tag, a Biotinylation Tag for enzymatic biotin conjugation using the biotin ligase, BirA, and a sortase recognition motif (LPXTG) to attach a variety of labels directly to the antibody including fluorophores, enzymatic substrates (HRP, AP), peptides, drugs as well as solid supports.

AbFlex® Histone H3K9ac antibody (biotin) was expressed as full-length IgG with mouse immunoglobulin heavy and light chains (IgG2a isotype) in mammalian 293 cells. The antibody was directly labeled with biotin using the biotin ligase, BirA.

Histone H3 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-ε-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 H3 Lys9 is associated with transcriptional activation of the genes.

Chromatin IP Assays

This antibody has been validated for use in ChIP and/or ChIP-Seq, and can be used with Active Motif's ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit or our magnetic bead-based ChIP-IT® Express Kits.

Storage

Some products may be shipped at room temperature. This will not affect their stability or performance. Upon receipt, unconjugated antibodies may be stored at -20°C for up to 2 years. Fluorophore- & enzyme-conjugated antibodies should be stored at 4°C. Fluorophore-conjugated antibodies should be protected from light. Keep reagents on ice when not in storage; to avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, we recommend aliquoting items that will be stored frozen into single-use fractions prior to freezing.

Guarantee

This product is guaranteed for 6 months from date of receipt.
