Though, I haven't done that before, i would recommed you perform Acid-Urea gel which cleanly separated histones, histone variants and differently modified histone isoforms (such as acetylated and phosphorylated histones) on the basis of differences in their charge.   You can refer to "extraction, purification and analysis of histone" (Nature Protocol) .
