Assay Conditions: ChIP results obtained with the antibody directed against H3K9me3
ChIP assays were performed using human HeLa cells, the antibody against H3K9me3 (Cat. No. 25272) and optimized PCR primer sets for qPCR. ChIP was performed on sheared chromatin from 1 million HeLaS3 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 for the heterochromatin marker Sat2 and for the ZNF510 gene, used as positive controls, and for the promoters of the active c-fos and GAPDH genes, 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).ChIP-seq results obtained with the antibody directed against H3K9me3
ChIP was performed with 0.5 µg of the antibody against H3K9me3 (Cat. No. 25272) on sheared chromatin from 1 million HeLa cells. The immunoprecipitated DNA was analysed by QPCR with optimized PCR primer pairs for the promoter regions of the active GAPDH and EIF4A2 genes, for the coding region of the ZNF510 gene and for the Sat2 satellite repeat (figure 2A). The immunoprecipitated DNA was subsequently analysed on an Illumina Genome Analyzer. Library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The 36 bp tags were aligned to the human genome using the BWA algorithm. Figure 2B shows the signal distribution along the long arm of chromosome 19 and a zoomin to an enriched region containing several ZNF repeat genes. Figure 2C and D show the enrichment at ZNF510 and ZNF12 on chromosome 9 and 7, respectively. These results clearly show an enrichment of H3K9me3 at ZNF repeat genes.Determination of the antibody titer
To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the antibody directed against human H3K9me3 (Cat. No. 25272), crude serum and flow through in antigen coated wells. The antigen used was a peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution, the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:60,000.Cross reactivity tests using the antibody directed against H3K9me3
A Dot Blot analysis was performed to test the cross reactivity of the antibody against H3K9me3 (Cat. No. 25272) with peptides containing other modifications and unmodified sequences of histone H3 and H4. One hundred to 0.2 pmol of the peptide containing the respective histone modification were spotted on a membrane. The antibody was used at a dilution of 1:20,000. Figure 4 shows a high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.Western blot analysis using the antibody directed against H3K9me3
Western blot analysis was performed on histone extracts from HeLa cells (15 µg, lane 1) and on recombinant H3 (1 µg, lane2) using the antibody against H3K9me3 (Cat. No. 25272). The antibody was diluted 1:1,000 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right; the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.Immunofluorescence using the antibody directed against H3K9me3
HeLa cells were stained with the antibody against H3K9me3 (Cat. No. 25272) and with DAPI. Cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes and blocked with PBS/TX-100 containing 5% normal goat serum and 1% BSA. The cells were immunofluorescently labelled with the H3K9me3 antibody (left) diluted 1:500 in blocking solution followed by an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to Alexa488. The middle panel shows staining of the nuclei with DAPI. A merge of the two stainings is shown on the right.
