Antigen

Cell type Class: Blood
Cell type: Macrophages
MeSH Description: The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

library_strategy: ChIP-Seq
library_source: GENOMIC
library_selection: ChIP
library_construction_protocol: Lysates were clarified from sonicated nuclei and protein-DNA complexes were isolated with antibody. Alternatively, lysates clarified from isolated nuclei were treated with MNase and protein-DNA complexes were isolated with antibody. Libraries were prepared according to Illumina's instructions. Briefly, DNA was end-repaired using a combination of T4 DNA polymerase, E. coli DNA Pol I large fragment (Klenow polymerase) and T4 polynucleotide kinase. The blunt, phosphorylated ends were treated with Klenow fragment (minus exo) and dATP to yield a protruding 3- 'A' base for ligation of Illumina's adapters which have a single 'T' base overhang at the 3’ end. After adapter ligation, ChIP DNA was PCR-amplified with Illumina Genomic adaptors or with NEXTflex DNA barcodes adaptors for 18 cycles and library fragments (ChIP) (insert plus adaptor and PCR primer sequences) were size-selected (150-250bp) from a 2% agarose gel. The purified DNA was captured on an Illumina flow cell for cluster generation. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina Genome Analyzer II or Illumina HiSeq 2000 according to the manuactuere’s instructions.
