-If any reagent has formed a precipitate, warm at 55 °C until dissolved. Allow to equilibrate to room temperature before use.
|
-Use 1 µg of antibody per well.
-The range of cells that can be used with this kit is 0.2–2.5 x 105/well/ChIP sample. Using more than 0.5 million cells per well will increase the non-specific binding and reduce the yield and specificity of the ChIP reaction. If higher yield of ChIP DNA is desired for downstream applications (e.g. ChIP-Seq., ChIP-chip): a) DNA could be pooled by eluting consecutively (with 50 µl of elution buffer) from multiple individual ChIP reactions. |

-Warm IP Lysis Buffer to room temperature to prevent precipitation.
-Prepare one extra plate of cells to estimate cell number.
-Thaw Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (PIC) at room temperature.
-It is recommended to take some trial to optimize sonication condition before beginning with sonication. |
-In general it is recommended that one million mammalian cells are required for each IP
fraction.
-Centrifuge the sample at 6000 × g for 5 min at 4 °C to eliminate bubbles.
-To reduce background, remove as much supernatant as possible in the last wash. Continue with next step OR store at 4°C overnight. |

-Just because an antibody works well in a Western blot does not always indicate it will perform well in chromatin immunoprecipitation.
Unlike a Western blot that detects proteins that have been denatured, a ChIP antibody must recognize the target protein in its native state. Use ChIP-validated antibody.
-Use 2-10 μg of your ChIP antibody depending on the abundance of your protein target. |
