ChIP results obtained with the antibody directed against MeCP2
ChIP assays were performed using human osteosarcoma (U2OS) cells, the antibody against MeCP2 (Cat. # 25304) and optimized PCR primer sets. Sheared chromatin from 1x10⁶ cells and 5 µg of antibody were used per ChIP experiment. IgG (1 µg/IP) was used as a negative IP control. Quantitative PCR was performed with primers for the promoters of the ZMYND10 gene (used as a positive control) and CDC6 gene (used as a negative control). Figure 1 shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).

Determination of the antibody titer
To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the antibody directed against MeCP2 (Cat. # 25304) and the crude serum. The plates were coated with the peptide used for immunization of the rabbit. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution (Figure 2), the titer of the purified antibody was estimated to be: 1:32,900.

Western blot analysis using the antibody directed against MeCP2
Nuclear extracts (40 µg) from HeLa cells were analyzed by Western blot using the antibody against MeCP2 (Cat. # 25304) diluted 1:1,000 in TBS-Tween containing 5% skimmed milk. The position of the protein of interest is indicated on the right; the marker (in kDa) is shown on the left.
