QuikChIP Kit (ChIP) Summary
| Description |
The QuikChIP(TM) Kit contains components for 25 ChIP assays optimized for use with transcriptionally active chromatin in adherent or suspension mammalian cells. The protocol is optimized for use with one 10 cm plate containing 5 x 10^6 cells per preparation. Each ChIP assay requires approximately 1 x 10^6 cells. Thus, a 10 cm plate (one preparation) of cells will provide DNA sufficient for five ChIP assays.
Features:
Quick and simple.
Optimized ready-to-use buffers and protocol are included.
Can be used for both histone and non-histone proteins.
Reagents for 25 ChIP assays and sheared DNA preparations.

Background
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful method used to identify regions of the genome associated with specific proteins. These associations are crucial for vital cellular functions including gene transcription, DNA replication and recombination, repair, segregation, chromosomal stability, cell cycle progression, and epigenetic silencing. The ChIP assay has been used to study both histones and non-histone proteins, such as transcription factors, within the context of the cell. Transcription factors and other DNA binding proteins have a weaker affinity than histones, which generally are tightly associated within the chromatin complex. To avoid dissociation of non-histone proteins from the chromatin binding site, it is necessary to incorporate a cross-link step. QuikChIP(TM) Kit has been optimized for use with both histone and non-histone proteins. Using the QuikChIP(TM) Assay, cells are fixed with formaldehyde to cross-link nonhistone proteins to DNA. Alternatively, the cross-linking steps are not needed for histone proteins, which are tightly bound to DNA. The chromatin is released from the nuclei and sheared into 200-1000 bp fragments. The chromatin is then immunoprecipitated with specific antibodies. DNA sequences cross-linked to the protein of interest co-precipitate as part of the chromatin complex. The DNA/Chromatin/Antibody complex is then isolated using Protein G Agarose. After reverse cross-linking, the associated DNA is released from the complex and is ready for analysis.

![Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Quick ChIP Kit [NBP2-29902] - Human MCF-7 cells were fixed for 10 minutes with 1% formaldehyde. The cells were lysed and the chromatin sonicated (200-1000 bp fragments). Chromatin was immunoprecipitated using DNMT3b mAb, (Lane 2) and a no antibody control (Lane 3). The PCR amplification was performed with primers specific to the progesterone receptor (PR) promoter region as follows: 94C 5 min, 94C 30 sec, 59C 30 sec 40 cycles, 72C 30 sec, 72C 10 min. Following PCR, 20 ul of each sample was analyzed on a 2% agarose gel and visualized by UV-illumination following ethidium bromide staining. PCR product was observed in the DNMT3b mAb ChIP (Lane 2) and not in the control (Lane 3).](http://images.novusbio.com/fullsize/QuickChip-with-control-ChIP-Kit-Chromatin-Immunoprecipitation-NBP2-29902-img0003.jpg "Chromatin Immunoprecipitation: Quick ChIP Kit [NBP2-29902] - Human MCF-7 cells were fixed for 10 minutes with 1% formaldehyde.
