Application examples

Application examples application example

ChIP using anti-H3K18me2 | Histone H3 (dimethyl Lys18) polyclonal antibodies

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation using anti-H3K18me2 antibodies. Chromatin from one million formaldehyde cross-linked Hela cells was used with 2 μg of H3K18me2 antibody and 20 μl of magnetic IgG beads per immunoprecipitation. A no antibody (No Ab) control was also used. Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified using real-time PCR and normalized to the input chromatin.

Background

Background The di-methylated K18 on histone H3 is a seemingly transient post-translational modification. H3K18 is better known to be acetylated, and occasionally mono-methylated. Suv39h1, a well-studied histone methyltransferase seems to be responsible for the transition of acetylation and methylation at this H3 modification site. The di-methylated K18 on H3 seems to be associated with embryological development and possibly implantation.
