  • ✓ Western blot: optimize ab's for ChIP



Western blot

> SDS-PAGE
--> 2x 10-well tris-glycine (4-20%) pre-cast gels
--> Samples (25 μL total vol./ well, dilute protein w/ RIPA):

  • PageRuler Plus pre-stained ladder: 15 μL
  • U2OS, 12.5 μL, ~ 29 μg protein
  • U2OS, 6.0 μL, ~ 14 μg
  • U2OS, 3.0 μL, ~ 7 μg
  • U2OS, 1.5 μL, ~ 3.5 μg

--> 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. (blot 1, histones), and 1.5 hr (blot 2, large proteins)
--> Cut each filter in half & trim (4 sets of samples total))
