Ten million of BM-derived DN3 cells were fixed with 1 mg/ml DSG (Thermo Scientific) in PBS for 30 min at RT followed by additional 10 min with addition of formaldehyde up to 1%. The reaction was quenched by addition of 1/10 volume of 0.125M glycine and the cells were washed with HBSS (Gibco). Pelleted nucleus were dissolved in lysis buffer (0.5% SDS, 10 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM EGTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8) and PIC) and sonicated on a Bioruptor (Diagenode) for 18 cycles of 30sec sonication followed by 30sec rest, with max power. Six μg per 10^7 cells of anti-Bcl11b Abs (a mixture of A300-383A (Bethyl), A300-385A (Bethyl), ab18465 (Abcam) and 12120 (CST)) were hybridized to Dynabeads Protein A/G (Invitrogen) and added to the diluted chromatin complex. They were incubated over night at 4°C, then washed and eluted for 6hr at 65°C in ChIP elution buffer (20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 5 mM EDTA 50 mM NaCl, 1% SDS, and 50 μg proteinase K). Precipitated chromatin fragments were cleaned up using Zymo ChIP DNA Clean & Concentrator. ChIP-seq libraries were constructed using NEBNext ChIP-Seq Library Preparation Kit (NEB #E6240) following manufacturer’s instructions. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq2500 in single read mode with the read length of 50 nt following manufacturer's instructions. Base calls were performed with RTA 1.13.48.0 followed by conversion to FASTQ with bcl2fastq 1.8.4 and produced approximately 30 million reads per sample.
