Why we need ChIP analysis

Transcriptional Regulation

Transcription factors chromatin modifiershellip

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

Critical Considerations for Successful ChIP

bull Experimental design

ndash Epitope abundance biology of ChIP targets planning for controls (control Ig and primers for positive or negative loci)

bull Chromatin preparation

ndash Evaluate chromatin with validated assays optimize protocol for each cell line amp keep consistent

bull Antibody quality and IP strategy

ndash Use well characterized antibodies

ndash Consider all available applications for unknowns

bull Data Analysis

ndash Utilize controls consider assay performance (qPCR standard curve)

ndash Test enrichment by qPCR before running genome wide experiment

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Native ChIP (N-ChIP) ChIP (X-ChIP)

Chromatin Fragmentation

Required to solubilize chromatin

Produce fragments from 300 bp to 1 Kb

Largely random fragmentation

Many instrument models with varying probe sizes

power settings hellip

Performance varies with volume of sample and

cell density

Foaming denaturation shearing of target protein

Can be challenging requires optimization

Antibody

Not all antibodies are suitable for ChIP

Specificity of epitope is critical

bull Epitope(s) must be exposed in native conformation

Epitope(s) must not be masked by crosslinking

Antibody Selection Polyclonal vs Monoclonal Purified vs Crude

Use ChIP validated Abs where possible

If unavailable consider IHC EMSA IP validated antibodies

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Chromatin Fragmentation

Required to solubilize chromatin

Produce fragments from 300 bp to 1 Kb

Largely random fragmentation

Antibody

Not all antibodies are suitable for ChIP

Specificity of epitope is critical

bull Epitope(s) must be exposed in native conformation

Epitope(s) must not be masked by crosslinking

Why we need ChIP analysis

Transcriptional Regulation

Transcription factors chromatin modifiershellip

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

bull Chromatin preparation

ndash Evaluate chromatin with validated assays optimize protocol for each cell line amp keep consistent

bull Antibody quality and IP strategy

ndash Use well characterized antibodies

ndash Consider all available applications for unknowns

bull Data Analysis

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Native ChIP (N-ChIP) ChIP (X-ChIP)

Chromatin Fragmentation

Required to solubilize chromatin

Produce fragments from 300 bp to 1 Kb

Largely random fragmentation

Many instrument models with varying probe sizes

power settings hellip

Performance varies with volume of sample and

cell density

Antibody

Not all antibodies are suitable for ChIP

Specificity of epitope is critical

bull Epitope(s) must be exposed in native conformation

Epitope(s) must not be masked by crosslinking

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Why we need ChIP analysis

Transcriptional Regulation

Transcription factors chromatin modifiershellip

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Antibody

Not all antibodies are suitable for ChIP

Specificity of epitope is critical

bull Epitope(s) must be exposed in native conformation

Epitope(s) must not be masked by crosslinking

Why we need ChIP analysis

Transcriptional Regulation

Transcription factors chromatin modifiershellip

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Why we need ChIP analysis

Transcriptional Regulation

Transcription factors chromatin modifiershellip

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Chromatin Fragmentation

Required to solubilize chromatin

Produce fragments from 300 bp to 1 Kb

Largely random fragmentation

Antibody

Not all antibodies are suitable for ChIP

Specificity of epitope is critical

bull Epitope(s) must be exposed in native conformation

Epitope(s) must not be masked by crosslinking

Why we need ChIP analysis

Transcriptional Regulation

Transcription factors chromatin modifiershellip

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Chromatin Fragmentation

Required to solubilize chromatin

Produce fragments from 300 bp to 1 Kb

Largely random fragmentation

Many instrument models with varying probe sizes

power settings hellip

Performance varies with volume of sample and

cell density

Antibody

Not all antibodies are suitable for ChIP

Specificity of epitope is critical

bull Epitope(s) must be exposed in native conformation

Epitope(s) must not be masked by crosslinking

Antibody Selection Polyclonal vs Monoclonal Purified vs Crude

Use ChIP validated Abs where possible

If unavailable consider IHC EMSA IP validated antibodies

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

ChIP is the most common in vivo method used to study

endogenous proteins associated with chromatin

ChIP can show the actual gene regulation under physiological

status

Chromatin IP (ChIP)

A method to identify specific proteins associated with a region of DNA or to identify regions of DNA associated with specific proteins

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual

interactions

ndash Crosslinking can mask the

epitope

Fixation

Does not require fixation

ndash Gentler but less robust method

ndash May require more cells

ndash Often used with enzymatic digestion instead

of sonication

ndash Formaldehyde crosslinking may mask epitope

Requires high affinity interactions

ndash Histones and Histone modifications

ndash Requires fixation (ie

Formaldehyde 1 10min at

37degC)

ndash More common for detecting

weaker interactions

ndash Interrogation of complexes

ndash Over-crosslinking can

increase artifactual
