Our ChIP protocol was based on the methods of Schmidt
et al.
19 (link) Four 15cm dishes of cells were fixed in formaldehyde for 10 minutes, before quenching the fixation with glycine. Cells were harvested, lysed in a sarkosyl-containing lysis buffer, and sonicated using the Covaris
E220 evolution Focused-Ultrasonicator to yield 100-300bp genomic DNA fragments. 5 μg of an antibody raised against
H3K27ac (Diagenode) was incubated with blocked magnetic
Dynabeads (Life Technologies) at 4°C for 4 hours. Antibody-bead conjugates were incubated with 100 μg chromatin at 4°C overnight, with constant agitation. Beads were washed extensively with RIPA buffer and then
RNase and
proteinase K (both Qiagen) treated. DNA was then eluted from the beads in TE buffer and cleaned up using the
QIAquick PCR Purification kit (Qiagen). Two independent immunoprecipitations and one input sample were sequenced for each cell line and each sample was quality checked by site-specific qPCR prior to next generation sequencing (NGS).
