Western Blot: Histone H4 [ac Lys8] Antibody [NB21-2044] - WB analysis of H4 K8ac in 1) HeLa histone prep 2) 3T3 histone prep and 3) C. elegans embryo lysate.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: Histone H4 [ac Lys8] Antibody - BSA Free [NB21-2044]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: Histone H4 [ac Lys8] Antibody - BSA Free [NB21-2044]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Histone H4 [ac Lys8] Antibody [NB21-2044] - H4 K8ac antibody was tested in HeLa cells with Dylight 488 (green). Nuclei and alpha-tubulin were counterstained with DAPI (blue) and Dylight 550 (red).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Histone H4 [ac Lys8] Antibody [NB21-2044] - Chromatin from one million formaldehyde cross-linked HeLa cells was used with 2ug of NB21-2044 and 20ul of magnetic IgG beads per immunoprecipitation. A no antibody (No Ab) control was also used. Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified using quantitative real-time PCR and SYBR green dye, then normalized to the non-precipitated input chromatin, which is equal to one.

Application Notes
This H4K8ac antibody is useful for ChIP, Dot blot, Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence and Western blot. In WB a band is detected ~11 kDa in HeLa, NIH-3T3, and C. elegans embyro preps. In ICC/IF, nuclear staining was observed in HeLa cells. ChIP experiments detected increased amplification of actively transcribed loci in chromatin prepared from HeLa cells.

Background: Histone H4

Chromatin is the arrangement of DNA and proteins in which chromosomes are formed. Correspondingly, chromatin is formed from nucleosomes, which are comprised of a set of four histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3, H4) wrapped with DNA. Chromatin is a very dynamic structure in which numerous post-translational modifications work together to activate or repress the availability of DNA to be copied, transcribed, or repaired. These marks decide which DNA will be open and commonly active (euchromatin) or tightly wound to prevent access and activation (heterochromatin). Common histone modifications include methylation of lysine and arginine, acetylation of lysine, phosphorylation of threonine and serine, and sumoylation, biotinylation, and ubiquitylation of lysine. In particular, acetylation of H4 Lys5 (H4 Lys5Ac) has been linked to transcriptional activation and DNA repair. Newly assembled histones are typically acetylated on H4 at lysine 5 and 12. The enzyme histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is the primary modulator, and these marks are necessary for complete chromatin assembly.
