SimpleChIP® Control PCR Primers
SimpleChIP® Control PCR Primers are a mix of two control primers which can be used to amplify DNA that has been isolated using ChIP. These primers will amplify positive control DNA sequences that contain known binding sites of the target protein detected by the antibody employed in the ChIP assay, and can also be used as negative control to demonstrate antibody sensitivity.
- Primers are designed, tested, and optimized in-house in conjunction with our ChIP validated antibodies and SimpleChIP® Kits, saving time and reagents.
- Primers are optimized for use in real-time PCR with SYBR® Green dye, which simplifies quantification of DNA enrichment.
- Technical Support is provided by the scientists who designed and use these products, and know them best.
SimpleChIP® Human GAPDH Promoter Primers #4471
Figure 1. Amplification - SimpleChIP® Human GAPDH Promoter Primers #4471 were tested on DNA isolated from cross-linked cells using the SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. Real-time PCR was performed in duplicate on a serial dilution of 2% total input DNA (20 ng, 4 ng, 0.8 ng, and 0.16 ng) using a real-time PCR detection system and SYBR® Green reaction mix. The PCR amplification efficiency (E) and correlation coefficient (R2) were calculated based on the corresponding threshold cycle (CT) of each dilution sample during 40 cycles of real-time PCR (95°C denaturation for 15 sec, 65°C anneal/extension for 60 sec).
Figure 2. Specificity - PCR product melting curves were obtained on real-time PCR reactions performed using SimpleChIP® Human GAPDH Promoter Primers #4471. Data is shown for both duplicate PCR reactions using 20 ng of total DNA. The melt curve consists of 80 melt cycles, starting at 55°C with increments of 0.5°C per cycle. Each peak is formed from the degradation of a single PCR product.
