Autoantibodies to histone antigens have been described in patients with idiopathic and drug-induced SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, and other conditions. The presence of autoantibodies to histones are frequently found in several rheumatic disorders (1). In one study, the predominant responses to histones in SLE sera were...

Histone H4 is one of the 5 main histone proteins involved in the structure of chromatin in eukaryotic cells. Featuring a main globular domain and a long N terminal tail H4 is involved with the structure of the nucleosomes of the 'beads on a string' structure. The N-terminal tail of histone H4 protrudes from the...

Source: Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-20 of human histone H3 with a C-terminal cysteine added (ARTKQTARKSTGGKAPRKQL-C) (linear), Applications: For use in a peptide competition with Anti-Histone H3 or to check for speci?city. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and...

Histones are basic nuclear proteins that are responsible for the nucleosome structure of the chromosomal fiber in eukaryotes. This structure consists of approximately 146 bp of DNA wrapped around a nucleosome, an octamer composed of pairs of each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4). The chromatin fiber...
