Application Data
1Refers to dilution of Trichostatin A in HDAC Assay Buffer, which will be 5X the final concentration. Examples: 1) As a measure of non-HDAC background, 5 µM would produce final 1 µM concentration and essentially complete HDAC inhibition; 2) As a model inhibitor "hit", 25 nM would produce final 5 nM and ~50% inhibition. 2 Refers to dilution of potential inhibitor in Assay Buffer, which will be 5x its final concentration.
1The appropriate dilution of the Deacetylated Standard may be determined from the standard curve and should be the concentration producing a fluorescent signal equal to that produced by control (no inhibitor) samples in the HDAC assay. The dilution in HDAC Assay Buffer is prepared at 1.25X this concentration to compensate for the 4/5 dilution due to addition of 10 µl of Assay Buffer or inhibitor. 2 Refers to dilution of Trichostatin A in HDAC Assay Buffer, which will be 5X its final concentration in the 50 µl volume, prior to addition of HDAC Developer WS. Example: As a model inhibitor that does not interfere with the HDAC Developer, 25 nM Trichostatin A would produce a final 5 nM concentration. 3Refers to dilution of potential inhibitor in HDAC Assay Buffer, which will be 5X its final concentration in the 50 µl volume, prior to addition of HDAC Developer WS.
50 µl of each diluted Deacetylated Standard was mixed with 50 µl HDAC Developer and incubated for 10 min at 25°C. Fluorescence was then measured using the clear 1/2 Volume Plate with a fluorimeter (PerSeptive Biosystems, Ex. 360 nm, Em. 460 nm, gain=85)
Materials Required but Not Delivered
• Fluorimeter for measuring fluorescence in a 96-well plate at an excitation wavelength of 350-380 nm and an emission wavelength of 440-460 nm. • Pipetman or multi-channel pipetman capable of pipetting 2-100 µl accurately • Ice bucket to keep reagents cold until use. • Plate warmer or other temperature control device (optional)

Product Usage Statements
Intended use
The Calbiochem® HDAC Activity assay is a complete assay system designed to measure histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in cell or nuclear extracts, immunoprecipitates, or purified enzymes. It has been used successfully with preparations of all class I HDACs-HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8 - with class II HDACs 4-7, 9 and 10 and with yeast Sir2 and its human homolog, SIRT1.
