Western blot - Anti-Histone H3 (citrulline R2 + R8 + R17) antibody (ab5103)
Loading Control: GAPDH
This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab5103 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti Rabbit IR680 secondary at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx.

Peptide Array - Anti-Histone H3 (citrulline R2 + R8 + R17) antibody (ab5103)
All batches of ab5103 are tested in Peptide Array against peptides to different Histone H3 modifications. Six dilutions of each peptide are printed on to the Peptide Array in triplicate and results are averaged before being plotted on to a graph. Results show strong binding to Histone H3 - citrulline 2 + 8 + 17 peptide (ab32876), indicating that this antibody specifically recognises the Histone H3 - citrulline 2 + 8 + 17 modifications.
ab32876 - Histone H3 - citrulline 2 + 8 + 17
ab17566 - Histone H3 - unmodified
