  • Validation Data

    CTCF Antibody ChIP Grade

    Figure 1. ChIP results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against CTCF
    ChIP was performed with the Diagenode antibody against CTCF (cat. No. C15410210) on sheared chromatin from 4,000,000 HeLa cells. A titration consisting of 1, 2, 5 and 10 µg of antibody per ChIP experiment was analyzed. IgG (2 µg/IP) was used as a negative IP control. Quantitative PCR was performed with optimized primers for the H19 imprinting control region, and a specific region in the GAPDH gene, used as positive controls, and for the Sat2 satellite repeat region, 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).

    Figure 2. ChIP-seq results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against CTCF
    ChIP was performed on sheared chromatin from 4,000,000 HeLa cells using 1 µg of the Diagenode antibody against CTCF (cat. No. C15410210) as described above. The IP'd DNA was subsequently analysed on an Illumina NovaSeq. Library preparation, cluster generation and sequencing were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The 50 bp tags were aligned to the human genome using the BWA algorithm. Figure 2 shows the peak distribution along the complete sequence and a 60 kb region of the human X-chromosome (figure 2A and B) and in two regions surrounding the GAPDH and H19 positive control genes, respectively (figure 2C and D).

    Figure 3. Cut&Tag results obtained with the Diagenode antibody directed against CTCF
    CUT&TAG (Kaya-Okur, H.S., Nat Commun 10, 1930, 2019) was performed on 50,000 K562 cells using 1 µg of the Diagenode antibody against CTCF (cat. No. C15410210) and the Diagenode pA-Tn5 transposase (C01070001). The libraries were subsequently analysed on an Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer (2x75 paired-end reads) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The tags were aligned to the human genome (hg19) using the BWA algorithm. Figure 3 shows the peak distribution in 2 genomic regions surrounding the h19 imprinting control gene on chromosome 11 and the AMER3 gene on chromosome 2 (figure 3A and B, respectively).

    CTCF Antibody ELISA validation

    Figure 4. Determination of the antibody titer
    To determine the titer of the antibody, an ELISA was performed using a serial dilution of the Diagenode antibody against CTCF (cat. No. C15410210). The plates were coated with the peptides used for immunization of the rabbit. By plotting the absorbance against the antibody dilution (Figure 4), the titer of the antibody was estimated to be 1:90,000.

    CTCF Antibody for Western Blot

    Figure 5. Western blot analysis using the Diagenode antibody directed against CTCF
    Whole cell extracts (40 µg) from HeLa cells transfected with CTCF siRNA (lane 2) and from an untransfected control (lane 1) were analysed by Western blot using the Diagenode antibody against CTCF (cat. No. C15410210) 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.

  • Target Description

    CTCF (UniProt/Swiss-Prot entry P49711) is a transcriptional regulator protein with 11 highly conserved zinc finger domains. By using different combinations of the zinc finger domains, CTCF can bind to different DNA sequences and proteins. As such it can act as both a transcriptional repressor and a transcriptional activator. By binding to transcriptional insulator elements, CTCF can also block communication between enhancers and upstream promoters, thereby regulating imprinted gene expression. CTCF also binds to the H19 imprinting control region and mediates maternally inherited higher-order chromatin conformation to restrict enhancer access to IGF2. Mutations in the CTCF gene have been associated with invasive breast cancers, prostate cancers, and Wilms’ tumor.

    Boulanger M. et al.
    Genotoxicants have been used for decades as front-line therapies against cancer on the basis of their DNA-damaging actions. However, some of their non-DNA-damaging effects are also instrumental for killing dividing cells. We report here that the anthracycline Daunorubicin (DNR), one of the main drugs used to treat A...
