strain: C57BL/6 gender: female age: 6-8 week old cell line: murine bone marrow transduced with epitope tagged forms of Hoxa9 cell type: Hoxa9-ER cells chip antibody: H4 acetylation chip antibody vendor: Millipore chip antibody catalog number: 17-630
Extracted molecule
genomic DNA
Extraction protocol
A total of 150 million cells were crosslinked sequentially with disuccinimidylglutarate (45 min RT) and 1% formaldehyde (15 min RT). Hoxa9 and Meis1 immunoprecipitation was performed with anti-HA antibody (Abcam) pre-conjugated to Protein G magnetic beads (Dynal/Invitrogen). For C/ebpα ChIP, rabbit anti-C/ebpα (Santa Cruz) was compared with pre-immune rabbit IgG. 4-hour incubation (4°C with gentle rotation) was followed by washes using Low Salt, High Salt, LiCl, and Tris-EDTA buffers (Upstate/Millipore). Immunoprecipitates were eluted with 0.1% SDS/0.1M NaHCO3 and DNA-protein crosslinks were reversed overnight at 65° in 0.2M NaCl. DNA was RNAse treated and column purified (Qiaquick, Qiagen). For ChIP-seq, size selection and sequencing were performed at the BC Cancer Agency Genome Sciences Centre (Vancouver, BC) as described previously (Robertson et al. 2007). For ChIP-Chip, DNA was amplified prior to dual hybridization (performed at Nimblegen Systems) of input and immunoprecipitate on a custom tiled mouse genomic array containing putative Hoxa9 and Meis1 target genes (50-mer probes with an average spacing of 35 bp; 15 megabases of total sequence).
