- ✓ ChIP co-IP optimization: Western blot
- ✓ Cultures: split HepG2 and HEK 23;4;9 (2x 1:5 flasks)
- ✓ Freeze-downs: HepG2 and HEK 23;4;9 (5 tubes, 1 ml ea., from one 75 cm flask)
- ✓ Transfection prep: set up 2 6-well plates for HepG2 (0.5 mL 1:10 dilution per well
Western: ChIP co-IP
> Optimization IP for αH3K27me3
> IP samples from 10/29/10; 60 μL each, ready to load
> Prep other 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.

- donkey α-rabbit-HRP, 1:5000; 5 mL
> Predicted sizes (using http://www.expasy.ch/tools/pi_tool.html for KAH proteins)
Western blot 10/31/10
Conclusions: Got rid of non-specific binding, but don't see much signal in the H3K27me3 IP lane. Try again with experimental samples and use only 1x washes.
