Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Histone H4 [Dimethyl Lys20] Antibody [NB21-2089] - Histone H4 K20me2 antibody was tested at 1:50 in HeLa cells with FITC (green). Nuclei (Blue) were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Histone H4 [Dimethyl Lys20] Antibody [NB21-2089] - Chromatin from one million formaldehyde cross-linked Hela cells was used with 2ug of NB21-2089 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.

Background: Histone H4

When K20 is di-methylated on H4, the downstream effect is silencing of genes. This modification is also necessary and sufficient for 53BP1 binding, which is a prerequisite for DNA repair, a highly conserved mechanism. H4K20me2 is associated with hypoacetylation, and inactivation of certain genes. NSD1 and Suv420h1/2 trigger the dimethylation of K20, but only after SET8 catalyzes the mono-methylation of the same lysine, indicating a complex regulation of this modification that can so seriously affect replication and stability of genomic information.
