> Predicted sizes (using http://www.expasy.ch/tools/pi_tool.html for KAH proteins)
- KAH130-4: 79 kD
- H3K27me3: 15 - 17 kD
Western blot 9/16/10
Conclusions:
- Blot 1: 130-4 pull-down looks perfect. Very clean and specific.
- Blot 2: 17 kD H3K27me3 shows up at right size in input and sup lanes, but what is the mysterious 28 kD band? Same as observed before with DMA/formaldehyde cross-linked KAH126-1 & 132-8 (8/28/10). Could be something coming of of the α-myc beads during elution that is recognized by α-H3K27me3 primary or α-rabbit secondary. No 17 kD band. Try total IP next time (and myc-bead/ no chrom control?).

- 4°C/ ∞
> Conclusions:
- MMP12, THPO, and TNF successfully detected. Repeat PCR for whole cDNA set, use fewer cycles (32, same as p16).
- IL4 worked somewhat; a little non-specific. Try fewer cycles.
- HHEX shows very faint bands, but product appears to be the right size.
- NPPA failed. Order new primers.

> Conclusions:
- IL4 too non-specific. Do not see induction in specifically in 129-4
- MMP12 looks good, but has ns lower band. Try again with 1:10 dilution of cDNA and primer pair 31A
- THPO, hard to see differences. Try again with 1:10 dilution of cDNA
- TNF looks great. Use data for figure.
- Try the successful primers on previous biological replicates.
