Human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells were stained with the Bioss antibody against H3K79me3 (Cat. No. bs-53121R) and with DAPI. Cells were fixed with 2.5% formaldehyde for 30’ and blocked with PBS/TX-100 containing 1% BSA. Figure A: cells were immunofluorescently labeled with the H3K79me3 antibody (left) diluted 1:300 in blocking solution followed by an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to Alexa568 or with DAPI (right). Figure B and C: staining of the cells with the H3K79me3 antibody after incubation of the antibody with 2 ng/μl H4K20me3 and H3K79me3 peptide, respectively.


Histone extracts of HeLa cells (15 μg) were analyzed by Western blot using the Bioss antibody against H3K79me3 (Cat. No. bs-53121R), diluted 1:1,000 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The molecular weight marker is shown on the right; the location of the protein of interest is indicated on the left.


A Dot Blot analysis was performed to test the cross-reactivity of the Bioss antibody against H3K79me3 (Cat. No. bs-53121R) with peptides containing other histone modifications and the unmodified H3K79. One hundred to 0.2 pmol of the respective peptides were spotted on a membrane. The antibody was used at a dilution of 1:20,000.The figure shows a high specificity of the antibody for the modification of interest.


To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of Bioss antibody directed against H3K79me3 (Cat. No. bs-53121R), crude serum and flow through in antigen-coated wells. The antigen used was a peptide containing the histone modification of interest. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution, the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:3,500.
