Reactivity of human AGO2 monoclonal antibody 11A9 with the SWI/SNF complex: A case study for rigorously defining antibody selectivity

Abstract In this study, we originally aimed to characterize the potential role of Argonaute 2 (AGO2) in the nucleus, a key protein of the miRNA machinery. We combined Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) with high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) and quantitative mass spectrometry (ChIP-MS) using th...
