Western Blot Validated Immunofluorescence Validated Dot Blot Validated Immunocytochemistry Validated

Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
ICC/IF: 1:500 dilution
WB*: 1:1,000 - 1:5,000 dilution
DB: 0.1 µg/ml

*Note: many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt / Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western Blot. Visit activemotif.com to download the protocol.

Immunogen

This Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody was raised against a peptide including phosphoserine 139 of histone H2AX.

Buffer

PBS containing 30% glycerol, 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

 

Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody tested by immunofluorescence.
HeLa cells stained with Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody (1:500 dilution) using MAX Stain™ Immunofluorescence Tools. The HeLa cells were blocked with MAXblock™ Blocking Medium and stained with Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody.
Panel A: Untreated HeLa cells.
Panel B: Cells fixed and stained 90 minutes after 3 Gy ionizing radiation treatment.
Top images: Cells were stained with DAPI.
Middle images: Same cells stained with Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody.
Bottom images: Merge of both images above.
Images were made using Zeiss Axiovision with equivalent acquisition settings for direct comparison. Note Panel B-middle image, which shows intense nuclear clustering of ionizing radiation-induced phosphorylation of Ser139 of H2AX. In contrast, Panel A-middle image shows no detectable phosphorylated H2AX.

Etoposide-treated HeLa cells stained with Cat. No. 39117 (1:500 dilution, red) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody tested by Western blot.
Western blot: Nuclear extract of U2OS cells (20 µg per lane) probed with Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 polyclonal antibody (1:500 dilution).

Lane 2: cells treated with camptothecin

Background

Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 (H2AX, H2A histone family member X) replaces conventional H2A in a subset of nucleosomes. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries that require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called the histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Histone H2AX is required for checkpoint-mediated arrest of cell cycle progression in response to low doses of ionizing radiation, and for efficient repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), specifically when modified by C-terminal phosphorylation.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for Histone H2AX phospho Ser139 antibody.
