The EpiQuik™ Total Histone H4 Acetylation Detection Fast Kit (Colorimetric) is a complete set of essential components which enables the experimenter to detect if histone H4 is acetylated and quantify the amount of the acetylated histone H4. The kit is ready-to-use and provides all the essential components needed to carry out a successful assay experiment. The EpiQuik™ Total Histone H4 Acetylation Detection Fast Kit (Colorimetric) is suitable for specifically detecting acetylated histone H4 and quantifying the amount of acetylated histone H4 using a variety of mammalian cells (human, mouse, etc.) including fresh and frozen tissues, and cultured adherent and suspension cells. The kit has the following advantages:
Principle & ProcedureThe EpiQuik™ Total Histone H4 Acetylation Detection Fast Kit (Colorimetric) is designed for measuring total histone H4 acetylation in a fast format. In an assay with this kit, the acetyl histone H4 is captured to the strip wells coated with an anti-acetyl histone H4 antibody. The captured acetyl histone H4 can then be detected with a labeled detection antibody followed by a color development reagent. The ratio of acetyl histone H4 is proportional to the intensity of absorbance. The absolute amount of acetyl histone H4 can be quantified by comparing to the standard control.
