--> 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.
