  • ✓ HepG2: split cells 1:5 in 75 cm flasks
  • HEK Gal4EED: luciferase assay on hold (waiting for assay buffer)
  • ✓ HEK Gal4EED: Use one Gal4EED induction plate to set up 12-well transfection plates; split 2 wells over 12 wells; split remaining well over three wells in original plate
  • ✓ ChIP qPCR: KAH 126-1, 132-8, 130-4 IPs; INKARF D1, E2, F1, G3 primers
  • ✓ Transfection: Fugene transfection for Gal4EED-induced HEK cells



ChIP qPCR

  • KAH126-1 fx IgG, neg (1:1)
  • KAH132-8 fx Input, pos (1:1)
  • KAH132-8 fx myc IP, uk (1:1)
  • KAH132-8 fx IgG, neg (1:1)
  • KAH130-4 fx Input, pos (1:1)
  • KAH130-4 fx myc IP, uk (1:1)
