Abstract

This video describes protocol for chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, which is a classic technique to demonstrate protein-DNA interactions.This technique is used to identify target genes in human chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.
Protocol
1. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation NOTE: The chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed with a commercially available ChIP kit according to the manufacturer's instructions with modifications. Calculate the number of immunoprecipitations (70 µL (Jurkat cells) or 15 µL (patient samples) of sheared chromatin plus one antibody) and prepare 20 µL of protein A coated beads per precipitation in a 1.5 mL tube. Wash the be…
