ChIP assays were performed using human HeLa cells, the Diagenode antibody against H3pan (bs-53074R) and optimized PCR primer sets for qPCR. ChIP was performed using sheared chromatin from 1 million cells. A titration of the antibody consisting of 1, 2, 5, and 10 \u03bcl per ChIP experiment was analysed. IgG (2 \u03bcg\/IP) was used as negative IP control. QPCR was performed with primers for the promoters of the active GAPDH and EIF4A2 genes, used as negative controls, and for the inactive MYOD1 and the Sat2 satellite repeat, used as positive controls. The figure shows the recovery, expressed as a % of input (the relative amount of immunoprecipitated DNA compared to input DNA after qPCR analysis).
