CBX5, also known as Heterochromatin Protein 1 alpha (HP1α), plays a fundamental role in chromatin organization and gene silencing. As a key reader of the histone H3 lysine 9 methylation mark, CBX5 serves as a critical mediator of heterochromatin formation and maintenance, making it an essential target for researchers investigating epigenetic regulation, nuclear architecture, and transcriptional control mechanisms.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 25E3, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding epigenetics research requires. Developed using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and cross-laboratory comparisons. The human IgG1 format provides reliable performance across multiple experimental platforms.
Validation studies demonstrate robust detection of CBX5 across a diverse panel of human cell lines in Western blot applications, including neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y), glioblastoma (U-251MG), cervical carcinoma (HeLa), T-cell leukemia (Jurkat), monocytic (THP-1), prostate cancer (PC-3), and breast cancer (MCF-7) cells. The antibody detects a clean band at the predicted molecular weight of 22 kDa, confirming specific target recognition. Flow cytometry validation using SH-SY5Y cells shows clear separation between specific staining and isotype control, enabling confident analysis of CBX5 expression at the single-cell level.
Purified by affinity chromatography and supplied in a glycerol-based buffer for optimal stability, this antibody supports researchers exploring heterochromatin dynamics, epigenetic inheritance, and nuclear signaling pathways where HP1α function is central to understanding chromatin-mediated gene regulation.
