A total of 1 x 107 BM-Mϕ were treated with a vehicle control or cytokine for 24 hours and ChIP was performed as previously described [24 (link)]. DNA was fragmented by sonication using a Branson Sonifier 450 (Branson Ultrasonics). For immunoprecipitation, the following antibodies were used: IRF7 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), STAT1 (Abcam), H3K9me3 (Abcam), Setdb2 (Dr. Yali Dou, University of Michigan), and rabbit polyclonal IgG (Millipore). DNA was assessed by RT-PCR using custom primers (S2 Table).
