Lineage: mesoderm
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. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx following the manufacturer's instructions.
