  • Validation data

    H3K9me2 Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K9me2
    ChIP assays were performed using human HeLa cells, the Diagenode antibody against H3K9me2 (Cat. No. C15410060) and optimized PCR primer sets for qPCR. ChIP was performed with the “Auto Histone ChIP-seq kit, using sheared chromatin from 1 million cells. A titration of the antibody consisting of 1, 2, 5, and 10 µg per ChIP experiment was analysed. IgG (2 µg/IP) was used as negative IP control. QPCR was performed with primers specific for promoter of the inactive HBB gene and the coding region of the inactive MYOD gene, used as positive controls, and for the promoters of the active genes c-fos and GAPDH, used as negative controls. Figure 1 shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).

    H3K9me2 Antibody ELISA Validation

    Figure 2. Determination of the antibody titer
    To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the Diagenode antibody against H3K9me2 (Cat. No. C15410060), crude serum and Flow through. The antigen used was a peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution (Figure 2), the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:103,000.

  • Target Description

    Histones are the main constituents of the protein part of chromosomes of eukaryotic cells. They are rich in the amino acids arginine and lysine and have been greatly conserved during evolution. Histones pack the DNA into tight masses of chromatin. Two core histones of each class H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assemble and are wrapped by 146 base pairs of DNA to form one octameric nucleosome. Histone tails undergo numerous post-translational modifications, which either directly or indirectly alter chromatin structure to facilitate transcriptional activation or repression or other nuclear processes. In addition to the genetic code, combinations of the different histone modifications reveal the so-called “histone code”. Histone methylation and demethylation is dynamically regulated by respectively histone methyl transferases and histone demethylases. Dimethylation of histone H3K9 is more present in silent genes.
