From: Immunolabelling of human metaphase chromosomes reveals the same banded distribution of histone H3 isoforms methylated at lysine 4 in primary lymphocytes and cultured cell lines

Figure 3

Selected chromosomes from human primary lymphocytes immunostained for H3K4me1 or H3K4me3. A. Karyotype constructed from metaphase spread immunostained with antibodies to H3K4me1. Where only a single chromosome is shown (14, 21, 22, X), the homologue could not be reliably identified. The metaphase spread is from a female donor and the weakly stained X shown is likely to be the inactive X. B. Selection of chromosomes 1, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18 and 19 to allow examinination of the consistency of H3K4me1 banding between metaphase spreads and to allow comparison with H3K4me3 banding (right hand side). All chromosomes shown were from donor 1.
