Chromatin was prepared from U2OS cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 6 µl of ab9053 (blue), and 20 µl of protein A/G sepharose beads. No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.

IHC image of Histone H4 (tri methyl K20) staining in Human normal skin formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab9053, 0.2µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
HeLa cells immunofluorescently stained with anti-Tri Methyl Lysine 20 of histone H4 (ab9053). HeLa cells were cultured on glass coverslips, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and immunofluorescently labeled with anti-Tri K20 (green) at 1/500 and DAPI (red). This image is part of the nuclear antibody characterisation program at www.cellnucleus.comThe image was collected using a 1.3 N.A. 40 X PlanApo Objective (Zeiss) using a Zeiss Axiovert 200M inverted fluorescent microscope and a SensiCam HQ (Cooke Corp.) 12-bit CCD. The images were collected using Universal Imaging MetaMorph v. 5.1 for Windows. A Physik Instruments piezo z-drive was used to collect images at 200 nm intervals throughout the depth of the cell nucleus. The digital images were processed to remove fluorescent background and colour composites were made from single focal planes using MetaMorph
A mouse 10T1/2 embryonic fibroblast immunofluorescently stained with anti Tri Methyl Lysine 20 of histone H4. Murine 10T1/2 embryonic fibroblasts were cultured on glass coverslips, fixed with paraformaldehyde and then immunofluorescently labeled using an anti-Tri Methyl K20 of histone H4 antibody at 1/500 (green). The nuclear chromatin was simultaneously visualized using DAPI (red).
