Jurkat T cells or HEK293T cells with or without MALAT1 knockout were infected with HIV/luc-VSV-G virus (1 ng p24gagag/1 × 106) for 2 days. Cells were then cross-linked in 1% formaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature and quenched with 0.125 M glycine for 5 min. After lysis, chromatin was sheared by sonication for 12 min (10 s on and 10 s off) on ice to obtain DNA fragments of 200 to 1000 bp. About 5% of the total sheared chromatin DNA was used as input. Sheared chromatin was incubated with an antibody against EZH2, H3K27me3 or H3K9me3. Rabbit and mouse IgG were used as negative controls. The immunoprecipitated DNA was analyzed by real-time PCR (ABI Prism 7900 real-time PCR system) for 30 cycles with Taq master mix (Invitrogen).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
