Anti-di/mono-methyl-Histone H3 Lysine 27 (H3K27me2-1) AlphaLISA Acceptor beads at
5 mg/mL in PBS pH 7.2, supplemented with 0.05% Proclin-300 as a preservative. Source of the
antibody: rabbit monoclonal.
Application:
This product is designed to detect human histone H3 di- and mono-methylated at lysine 27
®
(H3K27me2-1) in a homogeneous AlphaLISA assay. Broad species cross-reactivity is expected
based on sequence similarity.
Storage:
Store in the dark at 4˚C.
Stability:
This product is stable for at least 12 months from the manufacturing date when stored in its
original packaging at the recommended storage conditions.
FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. NOT FOR USE IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES.
Quality Control
®
Lot-to-lot consistency is confirmed by a Quality Control AlphaLISA titration assay read on an EnVision Alpha HTS
instrument. Maximum signal and EC50 value are determined using the biotin-H3K27me2 peptide. Minimum signal is
derived from the non-modified biotin-H3 (21-44) peptide at the concentration giving the specified maximum signal. We
certify that this product meets our quality release criteria. Maximum counts may vary between lots and depending on
assay conditions.

Log [biotin-peptide] (M)
Specificity of anti-di/mono-methyl-Histone H3 Lysine 27 (H3K27me2-1) Acceptor Beads. Histone H3-derived peptides with
different epigenetic marks were titrated in QC buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0). Signal was detected with an EnVision Alpha HTS
instrument 2102. The hook effect observed at higher peptide concentrations is typical of three-component assays and occurs when
peptide concentrations exceed the binding capacity of the Alpha Streptavidin Donor and/or AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. Shifts in affinity
might be observed in different enzymatic assay buffers.
Technical notes presenting the optimization of an AlphaLISA EZH2 histone H3 lysine 27 methyltransferase assay and
JMJD3 histone H3 lysine 27 demethylase assay using anti-H3K27me2-1 AlphaLISA Acceptor beads are available on our

*The two-component AlphaLISA 5X Epigenetics Buffer 1 Kit includes AlphaLISA 5X Epigenetics Buffer 1 and AlphaLISA 30X Buffer
Supplement. The 1X AlphaLISA Epigenetics Buffer 1 may appear cloudy. However, this will not affect assay performance. The 1X
Epigenetics Buffer 1 should be used within 16 hours.

Recommendations

The volume indicated on each tube is guaranteed for single pipetting. Multiple pipetting of the reagents may reduce
the theoretical amount left in the tube. To minimize loss when pipetting beads, it is preferable not to prewet the tip.

AlphaScreen Donor beads are light-sensitive. All Alpha assays using the Donor beads should be performed under
subdued laboratory lighting (< 100 lux). Green filters (LEE 090 filters (preferred) or Roscolux filters #389 from Rosco)
can be applied to light fixtures.

Sodium azide should not be added to the stock reagents. High concentrations of sodium azide (> 0.001 % final in the
assay) might decrease the AlphaLISA signal.

Centrifuge the tubes briefly before use to improve recovery of content (2,000 x g, 10-15 sec). Resuspend all
reagents by vortexing before use.

Use Milli-Q grade H2O (18 MΩ•cm) to prepare the 1X AlphaLISA Epigenetics Buffer 1.

When diluting peptides, change tips after each dilution. When loading reagents in the assay microplate, change tips
after each reagent addition and between each set of reagents.

Small volumes may be prone to evaporation. It is recommended to cover microplates with a TopSeal-A Adhesive
Sealing Film to reduce evaporation during incubation. Microplates are read with the TopSeal-A Film on the plate.

Total signal varies with temperature and incubation time. For consistent results, identical incubation times and
temperature should be used for all plates.

The AlphaLISA signal is detected with an EnSpire or EnVision Multilabel Plate Reader equipped with the ALPHA
option using the AlphaScreen standard settings (i.e. Total Measurement Time: 550 ms, Excitation Time: 180 ms,
Mirror: D640as, Emission Filter: M570w, Center Wavelength 570 nm, Bandwidth 100 nm, Transmittance 75%).
