Sperm chromatin was stained with Hoechst 33342.

Nishitani, H. Kobayashi, M. Ohtsubo, T. Nishimoto, J. Biochem. 107, 228 (1990)] was mixed with 3 μl of protein A-sepharose beads, and the mixture was incubated at 4°C for 2 hours with rotation. After incubation with antibodies, the beads were washed and mixed with 10 μl of Xenopus egg extract, and the mixture was incubated for 30 min on ice. The beads were pelleted by centrifugation, and the cytosol was removed and reincubated with fresh beads as described above.
