Fig. 1. Schematic representation of chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments. (A)
Outline of ChIP experiment in retina and optic tectum. Dissected tissues were
homogenized in the presence of formaldehyde. Crosslinked chromatin was
prepared using a standard procedure, sonicated and incubated with appropriate
antibodies. Specific DNA fragments in immunoprecipitates were quantified by
real-time PCR. (B) Retinal ganglion cells (RGC) isolated using panning with
anti-THY1 antibody. Dissociated retinal cells expressing THY1 were retained on
dishes coated with anti-THY1 antibody and fixed with formaldehyde. Fixed cells
were processed for ChIP as in A. (C) Schematic representation of upstream
regions of the analyzed genes. The black squares are E-boxes and arrows
indicate the primers used for amplification.
