General description

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+ EED set includes the polycomb protein EED antibody, a negative control antibody (purified mouse IgG), and qPCR primers which amplify a 138 bp region upstream of human HoxA2 gene. The EED and negative control antibodies are supplied in a scalable "per ChIP" reaction size and can be used to functionally validate the precipitation of EED associated chromatin.
~50 kDa

Immunogen

Recombinant fusion protein of full length murine EED tagged with MBP.

Application

Chromatin Immunoprecipitation:
Representative lot data.
Sonicated chromatin prepared from Ntera2 cells (3 X 106 cell equivalents per IP) was subjected to chromatin immunoprecipitation using 1 µg of either a normal mouse IgG, or Anti-EED antibody and the Magna ChIP G Kit (Cat. # 17-611).
Successful immunoprecipitation of EED associated DNA fragments was verified by qPCR using GAPDH promoter (negative) and HoxA2 (positive) Primers (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 G ChIP (Cat. # 17-409) or EZ-ChIP (Cat. # 17-371) protocol for experimental details.

Western Blot Analysis:
Representative lot data.
Lysates from A431 cell lysate were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to PVDF and probed with anti-EED. Proteins were visualized using goat anti-mouse secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and chemiluminescence detection (Please see figures).

FOR: AGG AAA GAT TTT GGT TGG GAA G
REV: AAA AAG AGG GAA AGG GAC AGA C
Format: Purified

Preparation Note

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: Variability in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins form chromatin-modifying complexes that are essential for embryonic development and stem cell renewal and are commonly deregulated in cancer. Here, we identify their target genes using genome-wide location analysis in human embryonic fibroblasts. We find

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins form multiprotein complexes, called Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs). PRC2 contains the PcG proteins EZH2, SUZ12, and EED and represses transcription through methylation of lysine (K) 27 of histone H3 (H3). Suz12 is essential for PRC2 activity

Recent experiments have demonstrated that the Polycomb group (PcG) gene EZH2 is highly expressed in metastatic prostate cancer and in lymphomas. EZH2 is a component of the PRC2 histone methyltransferase complex, which also contains EED and SUZ12 and is required

Polycomb group proteins play essential roles in transcriptional regulation of multiple gene families involved in various pathophysiological processes. It is believed that Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is targeted to chromatin by the EED subunit to methylate histone H3 lysine

Advance your Epigenetics Research

Epigenetics describes heritable changes in gene expression caused by non-genetic mechanisms. Epigenetic regulation allows a cell to vary its response based on its biological and environmental contexts. Epigenetic changes can effect transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation via mechanisms such as histone modification, chromatin and nucleosome remodeling, DNA methylation, and small and non-coding RNA-mediated regulation. These mechanisms, in cooperation with transcription factors and other nucleic acid-binding proteins, regulate gene expression. Epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation impacts diverse areas of research—from agriculture to human health. Common epigenetic assays such as chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) rely on high quality antibodies that recognize specific epigenetic modifications for accurate results. EMD Millipore offers over 100 ChIPAb+™ and RIPAb+™ validated antibody kits that are quality tested on ChIP/RIP assays and are conveniently provided with control qPCR primers and negative control antibodies to ensure first time ChIP/RIP success.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
