Identification of ChIP-seq and RIME grade antibodies for estrogen receptor alpha
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERĪ±) is a key driver of most breast cancers, and it is the target of endocrine therapies used in the clinic to treat women with ERĪ± positive (ER+) breast cancer. ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing) has improved our understanding of ERĪ± function during breast cancer progression and in response to anti-estrogens. A critical component of the ChIP-seq protocol is the antibody that is used to pull down the bait protein. To date, most of the ChIP-seq experiments for the study of ERĪ± have been performed using the sc-543 antibody from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. However, this antibody has been discontinued, thereby severely impacting the study of ERĪ± in normal physiology as well as diseases such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Here, we compare the sc-543 antibody with other commercially available antibodies, and we show that 6-935 (EMD Millipore) and ab3575 (Abcam) antibodies can successfully replace the sc-543 antibody for ChIP-seq experiments.
