Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against H3K4me1
ChIP was performed with the Diagenode antibody against H3K4me1 (Cat. No. C15410194) on sheared chromatin from 500,000 HeLaS3 cells using the “iDeal ChIP-seq” kit (Cat. No. C01010051). The chromatin was spiked with a panel of in vitro assembled nucleosomes, each containing a specific lysine methylation. A titration of the antibody consisting of 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 µg per ChIP experiment was analysed. IgG (2 µg/IP) was used as negative IP control. Figure 1A. Quantitative PCR was performed with primers for a region surrounding the ACTB and GAS2L1 genes, used as positive controls, and for the promoters of the GAPDH and EIF4A2 genes, used as negative controls. The graph shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis). Figure 1B. Recovery of the nucleosomes carrying the H3K4me1, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9me1, H3K27me1, H3K36me1, H4K20me1 and the unmodified H3K4 as determined by qPCR. The figure clearly shows the antibody is very specific in ChIP for the H3K4me1 modification.
