リンパ球(T細胞, B細胞, NK細胞)や単球などの末梢血単核球(Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells ; PBMCs)は, 末梢免疫系の重要な構成要素です。PBMCは免疫学および感染症研究にとって重要であるため, これらの細胞からChIPおよびChIP-Seq解析用の高品質なクロマチンを抽出するための確実な手法が必要とされます。アクティブ・モティフ社は, このような難溶性の試料を用いた実験を何年も重ね, PBMCから高品質なクロマチンを得ることができるように, 最適化されたクロマチン調製法の開発に取り組みました。ChIP-IT® PBMC Kitは, 最適化されたバッファーと溶解条件により, PBMCのように扱いの難しい細胞を用いる場合にも, ChIP反応を成功させることができます。
However, for researchers who want to perform ChIP, PBMCs make it difficult to extract quality chromatin because they are highly resistant to lysis under conditions normally suitable for other cell types. Active Motif leveraged its years of experience working with these difficult-to-lyse cells into developing a kit to finally enable researchers to prepare chromatin and perform ChIP on PBMCs. The ChIP-IT PBMC Kit offers a complete solution for chromatin immunoprecipitation including specialized reagents and protocols to enable extraction of high quality chromatin from PBMCs and integrated components and protocols for ChIP and DNA purification from our highly popular ChIP-IT High Sensitivity® Kit.
What our customers are saying about us...
"The ChIP-IT PBMC kit works perfectly for chromatin analysis of primary CD14+ monocytes. It is simple to use, with a straight forward protocol and produces incredibly reproducible data with our cell models of cytomegalovirus infection. In our hands, the ChIP-validated antibodies also prove very reliable."
