- ✓ Western blot: Test ab's for ChIP (finish on 5/13/10)
Western blot
> SDS-PAGE
--> 2x 10-well tris-glycine (4-20%) pre-cast gels
--> Samples (25 μL total vol./ well):
- PageRuler Plus pre-stained ladder: 20 μL
- KAH128-8.2-4, FTRx: 12.5 μL protein
--> Make 100 mM DTT in 2x loading buffer (> enough for 12.5 μL/ gel lane)
--> Add 12.5 μL DTT + buffer to each protein sample
--> Incubate at 100°C/ 5 min.
--> Run gel @ 120 V until dye front reaches the bottom
> Electroblot
--> Run @ 100 V for 1 hr.
--> Cut each filter in half & trim (4 sets of samples total))

Lanes
- PageRuler Plus pre-stained ladder
- KAH128-8.2 = 43 kD
- KAH128-8.3 = 43 kD
- KAH128-8.4 = 43 kD
- FTRx (parent line)
Signals
- Blot 1, DsRed (Pc-ATF fusions) = 43 kD
- Blot 2, myc (Pc-ATF fusions) = 43 kD
- Blot 3, H3 (all) = 15 kD
- Blot 4, H3K27me3 (all) = > 15 kD

> Coclusions:
--> KAH128-8.3 shows expression of Pc-ATF. Keep this line. Discard others.
--> DsRed antibody: Pc-ATF band might be cross contamination from anti-myc (washed all filters together). Already know this antibody works, so no repeat needed.
--> myc antibody: very strong (some background on WB). Use for ChIP.
--> H3 antibody: successful blot of histones for 1 hr. electroblot. Good antibody. (Pc-ATF band probably anti-myc contamination)
--> H3K27me3 antibody: No bands detected. Probably due to small proportion of methylated histones. Repeat using higher concentration of U2OS protein. (Pc-ATF band probably anti-myc contamination)
