We do ChIP from frozen samples all the time. The tissue is allowed to thaw slightly on ice, minced on ice with sharp dissecting scissors, resuspended in DMEM (no FBS) then passed (scraped) through a nylon cell strainer into a 50 mL tube with ~10 mL cold DMEM, everything is kept on ice. Once the single cell suspension in DMEM is prepared formaldehyde is added to 1% final concentration and the protocol proceeds as normal.
Hi,
Can I ask why the tissue have to put in DMEM but not cold PBS or saline? And any difference between fresh tissue and snap frozen tissue? I will do NChIP for the both fresh and snap frozen tissue, any recommendation for me?
Thanks!
