Which of these is most important to ChIP (chromatin immunoprecipitation)technology?
A) an antibody that recognizes specific chromatin structures
B) an antibody that recognizes a nucleosome
C) an antibody that recognizes a transcription factor of interest
D) an antibody that recognizes the DNA cis-element of interest
E) an antibody that recognizes the promoter of interest

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ChIP technology relies on immunoprecipitation of a specific transcription factor of interest. Antibodies that recognize other chromatin structures (A and B) or DNA elements such as cis-elements or promoters (D and E) may be useful in other assays but are not specific to ChIP.
