Antigen

Cell type Class: Neural
Cell type: Olfactory Nerve
MeSH Description: The 1st cranial nerve. The olfactory nerve conveys the sense of smell. It is formed by the axons of OLFACTORY RECEPTOR NEURONS which project from the olfactory epithelium (in the nasal epithelium) to the OLFACTORY BULB.

library_strategy: ChIP-Seq
library_source: GENOMIC
library_selection: ChIP
library_construction_protocol: Mice were sacrificed using CO2 followed by cervical dislocation. The main olfactory epithelium (MOE) was dissected and transferred to ice-cold PBS. The MOE was cut in to small pieces with a razor blade, and then dissociated with a papain dissociation system (Worthington Biochemical). For RNA-seq, dissociated cells were washed once with sort media (PBS + 2% Fetal Bovine Serum) and then resuspended in sort media supplemented with 100 U/mL DNase I (Worthington Biochemical), 4mM MgCl2, and 500ng/mL DAPI (Invitrogen). For Crosslinked-ChIP samples, cells were fixed prior to sorting. For fixation, dissociated cells were resuspended in PBS + 1% methanol-free formaldehyde (Pierce). Cells were fixed at room temperature for 5 minutes, and then fixation was quenched by adding 1/10th volume of 1.25M glycine. Fixed cells were pelleted (500 rcf, 5 minutes, room temperature), washed once with PBS + 2% FBS, and then resuspended in sort media. All cells were passed through a 40uM cell strainer prior to sorting.
