Designing an IHC experiment for CHAF1B? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the CHAF1B IHC GuideFacts about Chromatin assembly factor 1 subunit B.
CAF-1 performs the first step of the nucleosome assembly process, bringing newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 to replicating DNA; histones H2A/H2B can bind to this chromatin precursor subsequent to DNA replication to finish the histone octamer. .
