Storage & Handling:
Upon receipt, store frozen at -20° C.
Application:
WB, IF
Recommended Usage:
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. Western blotting, suggested working dilution(s): Use 10 μl per 5 ml antibody dilution buffer for each mini-gel. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
Hela cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde , washed in PBS, and permeabilized using 0.5% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes prior to antibody staining. Cells were incubated with a 1:50 dilution of Histone H4 antibody (Poly6020) for 1 hr, washed twice using 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS and incubated with goat anti-rabbit conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488. After washing twice in 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, cells were mounted and examined on a fluorescent scope. 100 X magnification.
Hela cell nuclear extract was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose, and probed with rabbit anti-Histone H4 antibody. Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Description:
Histone H4 is an 11.4 kD nuclear protein that is a component of an octamer containing pairs of each of four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, H4). The core histones create nucleosome structure of chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes and are dynamic in gene regulation. Histone H4 shows transcriptional regulation that is both cell cycle-dependent and -independent. Histone H4 is modified by phosphorylation, acetylation, ribosylation, and methylation. Histone H4 has been shown to interact with other histone acetytransferases, histone deacetylases, and PARP. The Poly6020 antibody has been shown to be useful for the detection of human histone H4 by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining.
