Chromatin Immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an important technique allowing the researcher to analyze in vivo interactions of proteins with genomic DNA. Any chromatin-associated or DNA binding protein can be analyzed with this technique, provided a good antibody to the protein exists. One can measure different proteins localized to a specific region of the genome, or the genome wide distribution of a specific protein. Another powerful application of this technique is to analyze changes in histone modifications that correlate with processes like transcription, mitosis or DNA repair. Historically, ChIP protocols have been geared towards homogenous populations of cell culture. In contrast, tissue samples are more complex and the cells are heterogeneous thus making ChIP analysis less amenable. The Magna ChIP G Tissue Kit provides the tools necessary to obtain repeatable, reliable, and site specific tissue biopsies. Microdissected functionally related populations of cells within a heterogeneous tissue can thus be analyzed with ease, precision and certainty.
