| Description | ChIPAb+ Histone H2B - ChIP Validated Antibody and Primer Set |
| Overview | All ChIPAb+ antibodies are individually validated for chromatin precipitation, every lot, every time. Each ChIPAb+ antibody set includes control primers (tested every lot by qPCR) to biologically validate your IP results in a locus-specific context. The qPCR protocol and primer sequences are provided, allowing researchers to validate ChIP protocols when using our antibody in their chromatin context. Each set also includes a negative control antibody to ensure specificity of the ChIP reaction. The ChIPAb+ Histone H2B set includes the Histone H2B antibody, a negative control rabbit IgG, and qPCR primers which amplify a 110 bp region of human β-globin promoter. The Histone H2B and negative controls are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of Histone H2B-associated chromatin. |

| Key Applications |
|
| Application Notes | Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Sonicated chromatin prepared from HeLa cells (1 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) were subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using either 1 µL of Normal Rabbit IgG or 1 µL of Anti-Histone H2B and the Magna ChIP™ A Kit (Cat. # 17-610). Successful immunoprecipitation of Histone H2B associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using ChIP Primers, human β-globin for a positive, and human GAPDH primers as a negative assay (Please see figures). Data is presented as percent input of each IP sample relative to input chromatin for each amplicon and ChIP sample as indicated. Please refer to the EZ-Magna ChIP™ A (Cat. # 17-408) or EZ-ChIP™ (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details. Western Blot Analysis: Representative lot data. Recombinant Xenopus Histone H2B, chicken core histones and acid extract from either sodium butyrate or colcemid treated HeLa cells were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with anti-Histone H2B (1:5,000 dilution). Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system (Please see figures). |
| Biological Information | |
|---|---|
| Immunogen | KLH-conjugated, synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 118-126 (CG-AVTKYTSSK) of human Histone H2B, with an N-terminal CG added for conjugation purposes. |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Specificity | Recognizes and is specific for Histone H2B, MW ~15 kDa. An additional band at ~23 kDa is detected in some samples, which likely corresponds to ubiquityl-Histone H2B. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. Nucleosomes consist of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber is further compacted through the interaction of a linker histone, H1, with the DNA between the nucleosomes to form higher order chromatin structures. This gene is intronless and encodes a member of the histone H2B family. Transcripts from this gene contain a palindromic termination element. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q8N257 # Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. SIZE: 126 amino acids; 13908 Da SUBUNIT: The nucleosome is a histone octamer containing two molecules each of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 assembled in one H3-H4 heterotetramer and two H2A-H2B heterodimers. The octamer wraps approximately 147 bp of DNA. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. PTM: Monoubiquitination of Lys-121 by the RNF20/40 complex gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation and is also prerequisite for histone H3 Lys-4 and Lys-79 methylation. It also functions cooperatively with the FACT dimer to stimulate elongation by RNA polymerase II. & Phosphorylated on Ser-15 by STK4/MST1 during apoptosis; which facilitates apoptotic chromatin condensation. Also phosphorylated on Ser-15 in response to DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), and in correlation with somatic hypermutation and immunoglobulin class- switch recombination. SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q8N257 ## Belongs to the histone H2B family. |

| Storage and Shipping Information | |
|---|---|
| Storage Conditions | Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt. Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variabillity in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage. |
