how to purify ChIP DNA by using kit - (Aug/18/2007 )

Hello,
I will try to use Qiagen Kit for ChIP DNA purification. But I do not know which kit should I use or at which step should I use the buffers of the kit?
If anyone has any exyperience, would be wonderful to hear.
Thanks

you can use the qiagen PCR purification kit.

So after decrosslinking, you just apply binding buffer? Or do you also make deproteination by Proteinase K?
I could not figure out unsure.gif

Hi,

I presume you must have used protein G (or A) agaore and eluted DNA from beads before you do decrosslinking then add it to spin column, right?

Well, proteinase K is an essential step, before you can really purify chromatin DNA from column. I experienced lower yeild of DNA and poor sonication result owing to a bad quality proteinase K.

yes. My protein is TAP tagged so i am using IgG beads anb eluting them with 1% SDS in 65 degress.
so I will decrosslink, then ProtK and qiagens PB buffer smile.gif
Thank you very much for the tips.
