ChIP qPCR troble shooting
- Low C(t) values: primers too dilute; 750 nM = 30 μL of 10 μM primer mix in 400 μL total volume (not 500 μL total volume!)
- GAPDH B is more efficient than experimental primers. Check GC content and Tm's of primers. Use Primer 3 to pick better primer pairs
Western: ChIP co-IP
> Optimization IP for αH3K27me3
> IP samples from 10/08/10; 60 μL each, ready to load
> Prep input samples: 22.5 protein + 7.5 4x loading dye
--> 4x loading dye (Invitrogen) w/ freshly added DTT (200 mM final)
> Use 10-well gel (loading volume = 25 μL)
> Electroblot: 1 hr. 30 min.

Conclusions: IP is not specific to antibody. Next time, try ChIP protocol from Casey
