Histone methylations are key markers for the chromatin state. In out study, we used this antibody to establish the epigenetic landscape of a specific cell type, the renal podocytes.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

ChIP

Sample

Dissociated embryonic kidneys

Primary Incubation

1ug antibody for 5ug sonicated chormatin, ON at 4°C rocking

Blocking Agent

None

Secondary Incubation

Protein G coated beads, 30ul/ug of antibody, 2 hours at 4°C rocking

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

qPCR on ChIP'd chromatin or sequencing

Results Summary

This antibody was first validated by qPCR on know targets (i.e. promoters of SDHA and NPS2). The promising results led us to further investigate the overall H3K4me3 landscape by whole genome sequencing.
