Availability of hyperacetylated H4 histone in intact nucleosomes to specific antibodies
U Pfeffer, N Ferrari and G Vidali
Specific antibodies against the tetra-acetylated form of H4 histone have
been elicited in the rabbit. They do not cross-react with the non- , mono-,
and di-acetylated forms of the histone molecule but a slight
cross-reactivity with the tri-acetylated form of H4 histone is observed.
Our studies also show that hyperacetylated H4 histones are recognized by
the antibodies in intact nucleosomes.
