Analysis Note

ControlAcid extracted proteins from HeLa cells, HeLa nuclear extracts or acid extracted HeLa cells treated with sodium butyrate.

Application

Use Anti-Histone H3 Antibody, CT, pan, clone A3S (Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody) validated in ChIP, WB to detect Histone H3 also known as Histone H3.

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
2 µL of this antibody immunoprecipitated chromatin associated with Histone H3 from a wild type yeast lysate.

General description

Histone H3 is one of the five main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N-terminal tail, H3 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the ′beads on a string′ structure.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human Histone H3.

Western Blot Analysis:
1:2,000-1:20,000 dilution of this lot detected Histone H3 in a modification independent manner in acid extracted proteins from untreated, sodium butyrate or colcemid treated HeLa cells.

Specificity

Broad species cross-reactivity expected due to sequence homology.

Recognizes Histone H3, Mr 17 kDa

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.

Handling Recommendations:
Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol-containing solutions to become frozen during storage.
