Anti-MEF2C 抗体 [EPR19089-202] - ChIP Grade (ab211493)

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-MEF2C antibody [EPR19089-202] - ChIP Grade staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab211493 was shown to bind specifically to MEF2C. A band was observed at 55/60 kDa in wild-type THP-1 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MEF2C knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MEF2C knockout THP-1 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween^® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Chromatin was prepared from HUVEC cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with: 25 µg of chromatin, 5 µg of ab211493 (red), and 20 µl of protein A/G sepharose beads slurry (10 µl of sepharose A beads + 10 µl of sepharose G beads). 5 μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (grey). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (SYBR green chemistry).

ChIP was performed according to the literature (PMID: 26923194).
