* Keep beads on ice for all steps (or work at 4°C). | |||
# wash 100 µL of Protein G Dynal magnetic beads (per reaction) in 1 ml fresh BSA/PBS | |||
# collect the beads with magnet wash beads in 1.5 ml BSA/PBS 2 times, collect the beads with the magnet. | |||

# incubate 4 hr to O.N. on a rotating platform at 4°C. | |||
# wash beads 3 times in 1.5 ml PBS/BSA. | |||
# Resuspend in 100µL PBS/BSA. | |||
===III. Cell Sonication=== | |||
* Note: Add protease inhibitors to all lysis buffers before use. If using a protease inhibitor cocktail tablet from Complete, dissolve one tablet in 2 ml H2O for 25x solution. Use 400uL per 10mL of buffer. Store in aliquots at -20°C. | |||
# Resuspend each tube of cells in 5-10 ml of Lysis buffer I. Rock at 4°C for 10’. Then spin at 2500rpm in a table top centrifuge, 3 min at 4°C. | |||

# | # This protocol will likely fail the first time you try it. Your LM-PCR product will contain no DNA. Don't lose heart. Try, try again. (Hard to pin down exactly what goes wrong between sonication and LM-PCR, but it seems that the blunting step is very sensitive. Most people get it to work by trying two or three times.) ~ [[User:Cconboy|cmc]] 16:25, 21 August 2006 (EDT) | ||

Procedure
I. Cell cross-linking
- Use 5x107 – 1x108 cells (70-80% confluency for adhesion cells of 8-12 15 cm2 plates or 175 cm2 flasks) for each ChIP reaction.
- Adherent cells:
- Add 1/10 volume of fresh 11% formaldehyde solution to plates.
- Swirl plates briefly and let them sit at RT for 10 min.
- Add 1/20 volume of 2.5 M glycine to plates to quench formaldehyde.
- Rinse cells twice with 5 ml 1X PBS. Harvest cells using silicon scraper.
- Spin cells at 4k for 10’ at 4°C.
- Transfer cells to 15ml conical tubes and spin 4k 10’ at 4°C.
- Flash freeze cells in liquid nitrogen and store pellets at –80 °C.
- Suspension cells:
- Add 1/10 volume of fresh 11% formaldehyde solution to flasks.
- Swirl flasks briefly and let them sit at RT for 20 min.
- Add 1/20 volume of 2.5 M glycine to flasks to quench formaldehyde.
- Spin cells at 2500rpm for 10’ at 4°C.
- Rinse cells with 100ml 1x PBS and spin cells at 2500rpm for 10’ at 4°C.
- Rinse cells with 10ml 1x PBS and transfer to 15ml conical tubes and spin 4k 10’ at 4°C.
- Flash freeze cells in liquid nitrogen and store pellets at –80 °C.
II. Preblock and binding of antibody to magnetic beads
- Keep beads on ice for all steps (or work at 4°C).
- wash 100 µL of Protein G Dynal magnetic beads (per reaction) in 1 ml fresh BSA/PBS
- collect the beads with magnet wash beads in 1.5 ml BSA/PBS 2 times, collect the beads with the magnet.
- Add 6-10 µg of Ab + 250µL of PBS/BSA.
- incubate 4 hr to O.N. on a rotating platform at 4°C.
- wash beads 3 times in 1.5 ml PBS/BSA.
- Resuspend in 100µL PBS/BSA.
III. Cell Sonication
- Note: Add protease inhibitors to all lysis buffers before use. If using a protease inhibitor cocktail tablet from Complete, dissolve one tablet in 2 ml H2O for 25x solution. Use 400uL per 10mL of buffer. Store in aliquots at -20°C.
- Resuspend each tube of cells in 5-10 ml of Lysis buffer I. Rock at 4°C for 10’. Then spin at 2500rpm in a table top centrifuge, 3 min at 4°C.
- Resuspend each tube of cells in 5-10 ml of buffer 2. Rock gently at 4°C for 5 min. Pellet nuclei in tabletop centrifuge by spinning at 2500 rpm, 3 min at 4°C.
- Resuspend pellet in each tube in 3 ml buffer 3 and put into 15mL conical tube cut off at the 6.5mL mark.
- Sonicate the suspension using the automatic sonicator.
- Appropriate sonication time needs to be determined for each cell type. For example, HepG2 cells: 6 cycles of 30 seconds with 1 minute intervals at power 7.0 (~40 watts).
- Add 1/10 volume of 10% Triton X-100. Transfer to 1.5 ml centrifuge tubes. Spin out debris 14K, 4°C, 10 min.

- 0.5 µL of 100 µM oligo oJW102
- Dissolve pellet in mix above and start PCR program CHIPCHIP:
- 55°C, 4’; 72°C, 3’; 95°C, 2’; 95°C, 30’’; 60°C, 30’’; 72°C, 1’; goto step 4 14 times; 72°C, 5’; 4°C, hold.
- During step 1 (55°C, 4’) add TAQ mix:
- 8 µL of H2O
- 1 µL of 10X ThermoPol buffer
- 0.5 µL of TAQ (5U/µL)(Gibco)
- Dilute PCR product in 450uL of 10 mM Tris, pH 8.0.
- Take 10uL of diluted product and PCR again using PCR mix per rxn:
- 25 µL of H2O
- 4 µL of 10X Thermopol buffer
- 0.5 µL of 25 mM dNTP mix
- 0.5 µL of 100 µM oligo oJW102
- Start PCR program:
- 55°C, 4’; 72°C, 3’; 95°C, 2’; 95°C, 30’’; 60°C, 30’’; 72°C, 1’; goto step 4 24 times; 72°C, 5’; 4°C, hold.
- During step 1 (55°C, 4’) add TAQ mix:
- 8 µL of H2O
- 1 µL of 10X ThermoPol buffer
- 0.5 µL of TAQ (5U/µL)(Gibco)
- Clean up DNA using Qiagen kit or precipitation by adding 25µL of 7.5M NH4OAc and 300µL EtOH. (Optional incubation at -20°C.) Spin and wash pellet with 500 µL 75% EtOH. Redissolve in 50 µL H2O.
- Normalize [DNA] to 100 ng/µL.
Checkpoints
- Sonication Fragment Size Verification
- After sonication, the spread of size fragments can be checked by running 1 µL of input/wce control DNA on a 1% agarose gel. Spread should extend no higher than 2 kb.
- Product Size and Amount Verification
- Remove 2 µL of PCR product and run it out on 2% agarose gel. Product sizes should be around 250-350 bp. Amount of IP PCR product should be roughly equal to input PCR product. Check the concentration using the Nanodrop, expecting ~50-100 ng/µL.
Detection
- Continue with ChIP-chip or Gene-specific PCR to detect global or specific chromatin binding sites for your protein of interest.
Notes
- This protocol will likely fail the first time you try it. Your LM-PCR product will contain no DNA. Don't lose heart. Try, try again. (Hard to pin down exactly what goes wrong between sonication and LM-PCR, but it seems that the blunting step is very sensitive. Most people get it to work by trying two or three times.) ~ cmc 16:25, 21 August 2006 (EDT)
