Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Although chromatin immunoprecipitation is a useful assay that probes protein-genomic DNA interactions in nuclei, it requires a lot of cells and the purification of specific cells by FACS when tissues are examined. We attempted to develop a general method that detects binding of specific proteins to genomic DNA on tissue sections. We developed the method by examining binding of Pou5f1 to Pou5f1 enhancer in P19 cells as a model case, and obtained results that suggest their interactions. In order to make the method reliable, however, further investigation is required.
