    Article Snippet: Chondrocytes were lysed in 500 μL lysis buffer and then incubated with 3 μg of biotinylated DNA oligonucleotide probes targeting cZFP609 at 4°C for 2 h. A total of 50 μL of BeyoMag Streptavidin Magnetic Beads (P2151, Beyotime, China) were added to the supernatant after it was centrifuged for 5 min at 12,000 g and further incubated at 4°C for 4 h. After incubation, the beads were washed three times using washing buffer.
