Histone H3 acetyl Lys18 pAb tested by dot blot analysis.
Dot blot analysis was used to confirm the specificity of Histone H3 acetyl Lys18 pAb for acetyl Lys18 histone H3. Acetylated peptides corresponding to the immunogen and related peptides were spotted onto PVDF and probed with the antibody at a dilution of 1:500. The amount of peptide (picomoles) spotted is indicated next to each row.

Background

Histone H3 is one of the core components of the nucleosome. The nucleosome is the smallest subunit of chromatin and consists of 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around an octamer of core histone proteins (two each of Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3 and Histone H4). Chromatin is subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression. Acetylation of histones is linked to a number of specific processes including transcriptional regulation and genomic organization.

Positive Control
