Boris / CTCFL antibody (pAb) tested by ChIP-Seq.
ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 30 ug of chromatin from human testis and 2 µl of antibody. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq and 20 million sequence tags were mapped to identify Boris / CTCFL binding sites. The image shows binding across a region of chromosome 7. You can view the complete data set in the UCSC Genome Browser, starting at this specific location, here.

BORIS / CTCFL antibody (pAb) tested by Western blot.
Whole cell extract (10 μg per lane) from HEK293T cells transfected with either vector alone (lanes 1 and 3), with a FLAG-Tagged human BORIS expression vector (lanes 2 and 4) or mouse testis nuclear extract (30 μg, lane 5) was probed with either BORIS / CTCFL antibody at 1:2,000 (lanes 1 and 2) or 1:500 (lane 5) or anti-FLAG-Tag (lanes 3 and 4).

Background

BORIS (Brother of Regulator of Imprinted Sites) / CTCFL (CTCF-like) is a zinc-finger DNA binding protein that acts as a chromatin insulator and a paralog of the CTCF protein. Normally, BORIS / CTCFL is expressed only in primary spermatocytes and is thought to play a role in resetting DNA methylation marks during the differentiation of male germ cells. BORIS / CTCFL is also expressed in many cancers and may serve a pro-proliferative function.
