Product overview
ChIP kit ab500 provides a protocol and reagents for running ChIP assays including:
- cell lysis and chromatin extraction
- chromatin shearing and DNA fragment length analysis
- immunoprecipitation and DNA purificationDNA produced using the kit can be analyzed using qPCR.
The kit has been validated for ChIP assays with mammalian samples.
Chinese protocol available. See protocols section below.

Notes
This kit uses Protein A sepharose beads for antibody pulldown. See table below for Protein A and Protein G binding affinities with antibodies from commonly used species. For other species of antibody, consult the table in the protocol booklet.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation assay was performed to define the interaction of serum response factor (SRF) with the intragenic serum response element (SRE) regulatory motif in mouse using ab500 ChIP Kit.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation using ab500 ChIP Kit and Histone H3 (tri methyl K9) antibody (ab8898). Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells using the Abcam ChIP kit protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. ChIP was performed with 2 µg of ab8898 (blue). No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active/inactive loci, Sybr green approach for heterochromatic loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of transcribed region.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation using ab500 ChIP Kit and Histone H3 (tri methyl K4) antibody (ab12209). Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells using the Abcam ChIP kit protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 min. ChIP was performed with 5 µg of ab12209 (blue). No antibody was added to the beads control (yellow). Immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Taqman approach for active/inactive loci). Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
