Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma cell line untreated (-) or treated (+) with 20 mJ/cm2 ultraviolet light (UV) followed by a 30 minute recover. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human Phospho-Histone H2AX (S139) Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2288) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF008). A specific band was detected for Histone H2AX at approximately 17 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of Human Phospho-Histone H2AX (S139) in Camptothecin-treated Jurkat cells by Flow Cytometry.

Naïve Jurkat cells (open histogram) or treated with 1 µM Camptothecin (1100, filled histogram) overnight were stained with Rabbit Anti-Human Phospho-Histone H2AX (S139) Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2288), followed by PE-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (F0110). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (FC004) and permeabilized with 90% methanol. View our protocol for Staining Intracellular Molecules.

Background: Histone H2AX

Histone H2AX is a core histone protein that is phosphorylated at S139 in cells exposed to DNA double-strand break-inducing agents, such as ionizing radiation. The S139 phosphorylated H2AX, termed gamma-H2AX, marks the site of DNA double-strand breaks and serves to recruit cell cycle checkpoint and DNA repair factors to the site of damage.
