Eukaryotic histones are basic and water-soluble nuclear proteins that form hetero-octameric nucleosome particles by wrapping 146 base pairs of DNA in a left-handed super-helical turn sequentially to form chromosomal fiber. Two molecules of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) form the octamer; formed of two H2A-H2B dimers and two H3-H4 dimers, forming two nearly symmetrical halves by tertiary structure. Over 80% of nucleosomes contain the linker Histone H1, derived from an intronless gene that interacts with linker DNA between nucleosomes and mediates compaction into higher order chromatin. Histones are subject to posttranslational modification by enzymes primarily on their N-terminal tails, but also in their globular domains. Such modifications include methylation, citrullination, acetylation, phosphorylation, sumoylation, ubiquitination and ADP-ribosylation.

Western blot: 0,5 - 1 µg/ml Flow Cytometry: 0,5-1 µg/million cells in 0,1 ml Immunofluorescence: 0,5 - 1 µg/ml Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0,5 - 1 µg/ml for 30 min at RT (1) Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2) Optimal dilution of the Histone antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin/paraffin tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Citrate buffer, pH 6,0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimised for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
