This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab1791 overnight at 4°C.

Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab6721) secondary antibody was used for detection.

Antibody binding was visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.

Histone H3 - ChIP Grade was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) whole cell extract, 5 µg of Rabbit polyclonal to and 50 µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).

The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10 minutes, HeLa whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10 minutes under agitation.

Proteins were eluted by addition of 40 µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10 minutes at 70°C; 10 µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab1791.

Secondary Antibody: Mouse anti-rabbit HRP light chain (HRP) (ab99697).

Band: 15kDa; Histone H3 - ChIP Grade

Chromatin from Xenopus laevis oocytes was prepared according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol.

Oocytes were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25 mg of chromatin, 3 mg of ab7834 (anti-H3, light blue) and 3 µg of ab1791 (anti-H3, dark blue), and 20 ml of Protein A/G sepharose beads. A non-specific antibody was used as a control (yellow).

The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach).

ab1796 staining Histone H3 in mouse liver tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections).

Tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS for30 minutesand blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation insodium citrate pH 6. Samples were incubated with the primary antibody (1/500 in blocking buffer) for 16 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/400) was used as the secondary antibody.

ab1791 staining Histone H3 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab1791 at 0.1 µg/mL and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor^® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Blocked with 3% milk for 1 hour at 25°C.

Incubated with the primary antibody for 16 hours at 4°C in 3% milk in TBS-tween.

ab1791 staining Histone H3 in HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence).

Cells were fixed with methanol and blocked with 0.2% fish scale gelatin for 1 hour at 25°C. Samples were incubated with the primary antibody (1/300 in PBS + 0.2% gelatin) for 20 minutes at 25°C. An Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody.

Rabbit polyclonal to Histone H3 (ab1791) at 1/5000 on S. cerevisiae whole cell lysate (40 ug per lane). Protein resolved on 15% SDS-PAGE gel. After transfer to PVDF membrane, blots were blocked in 1X PBS, 0.1% Tween-20, and 5% milk. ab1791 was diluted in 5 ml blocking buffer at 1/5000. Blots plus primary antibodies were either incubated overnight at 4°C or at RT for 2 hours. Blots were washed 6X for 10 minutes each in PBS with 0.1% Tween-20 before addition of secondary antibodies. Secondary antibodies were diluted 1/2,000 in blocking buffer and incubated with blots for 2 hours at RT. Secondary blots were washed 4X for 10 minutes each in PBS with 0.1% Tween-20 and 2X for 10 minutes each in PBS.

Chromatin was prepared from HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol.

Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 2 µg of ab1791 (blue), and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow).
