Blog | Abcam: ChIP protocols and new ChIP primers from Abcam ChIP protocols and new ChIP primers from Abcam Posted At : October 9, 2009 6:01 PM | Posted By : Peter Related Categories: Protocols, Website Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) enables the mapping of target proteins/histone modifications to specific loci in the genome. Antibodies and protein A beads, which have a higher affinity for some immunoglobulin isotypes, are used to immunoprecipitate chromatin/DNA complexes. The DNA region of interest is determined using quantitative PCR. Here are six protocols to help you get the best out of your experiment. ChIP protocols ChIP tips by Dr Andy Bannister (Gurdon institute) Troubleshooting tips to ensure successful ChIP ChIP using plant samples - Arabidopsis Chromatin preparation from tissues for ChIP Cross-linking chromatin immunoprecipitation (x-ChIP) Native chromatin immunoprecipitation If you're working in a different application, we now have over 70 protocols, including guides for ELISA, FACS, IP and WB, and Abcam's Scientific support team are adding more all the time! New ChIP primers - fast, easy, and consistent We can now provide validated ChIP primers which you can use to: Test antibodies for use in ChIP Control for antibodies already validated in ChIP
