Description: osteosarcoma from the tibia of a 15 year old, J. Ponten and E. Saksela derived this line (originally 2T) in 1964 from a moderately differentiated sarcoma, viruses were not detected during co-cultivation with WI-38 cells or in CF tests against SV40, RSV or adenoviruses, mycoplasma contamination was detected and eliminated in 1972, (PMID: 6081590)

library_strategy: ChIP-Seq
library_source: GENOMIC
library_selection: ChIP
library_construction_protocol: For ChIP-seq, cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde for 10' at 37°C. After cell lysis, nuclei were resuspended in RIPA buffer and sonicated (Bransson) until average fragment size was below 500 bps. Antibodies were bound to Protein-A/G-sepharose or Dyna beads and incubated with the chromatin. After sequential washing and elution with 1% SDS, crosslinking was reverted and DNA was purified using Qiagen PCR purification columns. Libraries were constructed following manufacturer's instructions (NEBNext ChIP-Seq Sample Prep Kit). Briefly, ChIP DNA was end repaired, A tailed and Illumina adaptors were ligated. DNA fragments of about 200 bps were cut out of an agarose gel and extracted with a Qiagen PCR purification column. Afterwards, DNA was enriched with 18 PCR cycles, fragment size was controlled with Biorad Experion system and quantified using picogreen assay.
