title: Availability of hyperacetylated H4 histone in intact nucleosomes to specific antibodies.
abstract: Specific antibodies against the tetra-acetylated form of H4 histone have been elicited in the rabbit. They do not cross-react with the non-, mono-, and di-acetylated forms of the histone molecule but a slight cross-reactivity with the tri-acetylated form of H4 histone is observed. Our studies also show that hyperacetylated H4 histones are recognized by the antibodies in intact nucleosomes.
