SEE ALSO...

HDAC2 Antibody (C-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b kappa light chain antibody that detects HDAC2 protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry (IHC). HDAC2 (C-8) antibody is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase, phycoerythrin, fluorescein isothiocyanate, and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. HDAC2 plays a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression through function as a histone deacetylase, which removes acetyl groups from lysine residues on histones, leading to chromatin condensation and transcriptional repression. This process is vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating developmental processes, as aberrant HDAC activity has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. HDAC2 interaction with specific transcription factors and other regulatory proteins further underscores importance in epigenetic control of gene expression. Understanding HDAC2 dynamics and interactions can provide insights into therapeutic strategies for diseases characterized by dysregulated gene expression.

I am using HDAC2 (C-8): sc-9959 to stain paraffin embedded tissue. Do you recommend antigen retrieval when using this antibody?

Asked by: cjMara
We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Useless antibodyI wasted quite a lot of time and experiments using this antibody for ICC for my paper revision, and it didn't work at all (I increased the concentration to even 1:10 dilution). I contacted the technical support asking for a change of antibody or alternative ones, and they are also not helpful at all. Meanwhile, I even followed the 'Santa Cruz IHC/ICC protocol' and used Acetone to fix the cultured the cells according the protocol instead of using the standard PFA fixation, and it totally destroyed my samples. I have ordered a few antibodies from Santa Cruz due to the cheaper price, but none of them worked out well. Enough is enough. No more antibodies from SC.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from this antibody performed really poorlyUsing human blood monocyte derived macrophages, 25 ug total cell lysate ran on midi gels, 1:500 dilution in milk, 1:4000 2nd Ab CST anti-mouse we could barely detect some weak band using ultra ECL and long exposure. But there is a chance this antibody might perform better with nuclear extracts.
