ELISA: 0.05-0.2 µg/mL Western blot: 0.5-1 µg/mLOther Applications: user-optimized
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Format
Lyophilized
Buffer
PBS, pH 7.4, containing 0.02 % sodium azide.
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
WARNING: Reagents contain sodium azide. Sodium azide is very toxic if ingested or inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear eye or face protection when handling. If skin or eye contact occurs, wash with copious amounts of water. If ingested or inhaled, contact a physician immediately. Sodium azide yields toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide-containing compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in lead or copper plumbing.
Storage
4 °C/-20 °C
Storage Comment
The antibody is stable in lyophilized form if stored at -20°C or below. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for 2-3 weeks at 2-8°C. For long term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing cycles.
Histone H2B is a core component of nucleosome that facilitates nucleosome wrapping and DNA compacting into chromatin. This limits the accessibility of DNA to the cellular machineries for which DNA is required as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair and replication as well as chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, of which the process is called the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.Rabbit Anti-Histone H2B (Acetyl-K20) Polyclonal Antibody is developed in rabbit using a KLH-coupled synthetic acetylpeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Lys20 of human Histone H2B.
