I am a beginner of Transcription factor ChIP experiment. I have taken 30ug of protein for each immunoprecipitation and the input was 1%. After immunoprecipitation, my input DNA concentration is 140 ng/ul whereas the specific antibody pulldown is 12 ng/ul and control IgG is 10ng/ul. My question is before proceeding to qPCR, should I dilute both the samples to approx. 10ng/ul and take 2ul from each for qPCR running or I just take 2ul from each sample for qPCR without any dilution? I try to analysis my data both percentage of input and fold enrichment methods. What is the exact procedure of them ? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thank you
