  • ✓ PCR: Amplify Pc-ATF's from 126-1 and 132-8 cDNA to verify correct transgenes
  • ✓ ChIP: cross-link 126-1 and 132-8 cells
  • ✓ Western: Sonicated chromatin (#6 132-8); new conditions for detecting modified histones
  • ✓ Cell culture: thaw 127-4, 128-8.3, 129-4, 130-2, 130-7, 131-1, 133-1

PCR: DNA engine block A

  • 95°C/ 3 min.
  • [95°C/ 30 sec.; 57°C/ 30 sec.; 72°C/ 30 sec.] x30
  • 72°C/ 3 miin.
  • 4°C/ ∞


--> Conclusions: sizes look correct



Western blot
> Consulted Steve from Cell Signaling Technology

  • Blot soluble chromatin or sonicated whole cell lysate, not clarified whole cell lysate (chromatin ends up in the discarded pellet)
  • Be sure nitrocellulose pore size is small (0.2 μm is good)
  • Probing conditions: Block with 5% milk, primary stain with 5% BSA, secondary stain with 5% milk


> Gels (duplicates) --> Samples loaded (in replicate):

  • U2OS plain whole cell extract (43.1 μg, 18.75 μL)
  • 132-8 sonicated chromatin (18.75 μL)

> Use 4x loading dye w/ BME (from Qingqing & Mike)
> Use 10-well gel (loading volume = 25 μL)
> Electroblot: 1 hr. 15 min.
