Western blot analysis of extracts from Raji (lane2(20μg), MCF-7(lane3(20μg), SH-SY5Y(lane4(20μg) and Jurkat(lane5(20μg) using HP1 alpha Antibody (HY-P81280). Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST at 4°C overnight. The primary antibody (1/1000) and Loading control antibody (Beta Actin, HY-P80993, 1/10,000) was used in 5% non-fat milk in TBST for 2 hour at room temperature. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG-HRP Secondary Antibody (HY-P8004, 1/10,000) was used for 1 hour at room temperature.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human breast cancer tissue using HP1 alpha Antibody (YA981). The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were probed with the primary antibody (HY-P81280, 1/100) overnight at 4℃. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with neutral balsam.

Immunocytochemistry analysis of HeLa cells labeling HP1 alpha with HP1 alpha Antibody (HY-P81280) at 1/100 dilution . Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with quick block buffer for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with HP1 alpha Antibody (HY-P81280) at 1/100 dilution in quick block buffer overnight at 4 ℃.AF488-conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L(HY-P8005, Green) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Background
-
Function
HP1 alpha component of heterochromatin that recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me), leading to epigenetic repression. In contrast, it is excluded from chromatin when 'Tyr-41' of histone H3 is phosphorylated (H3Y41ph). May contribute to the association of heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane by interactions with the lamin-B receptor (LBR). Involved in the formation of kinetochore through interaction with the MIS12 complex subunit NSL1. Required for the formation of the inner centromere[1][2].
