Assays

CHIP-MS was performed with HeLa cells carrying a bacterial artifical chromosome for the expression of GFP-tagged PICH under it's endogenous promotor. Cells were treated with drugs to induce different types of ultra-fine bridges (UFBs). Treatments included: a) 24h exposure to 0.1 uM Aphidicolin, b) 24 hours exposure to 120 ng/ml mitomycin C, c) 6.5 hours incubation in 0.05 ug/ml nocodazol followed by a release into 0.1 uM ICRF-193 topoisomerase inhibitor.
