Abstract
Mammalian cells have developed and optimized defense mechanisms to prevent or hamper viral infection. The early transcriptional silencing of incoming viral DNAs is one such antiviral strategy and seems to be of fundamental importance, since most cell types silence unintegrated retroviral DNAs. In this chapter, a method for chromatin immunoprecipitation of unintegrated DNA is described. This technique allows investigators to examine histone and co-factor interactions with unintegrated viral DNAs as well as to analyze histone modifications in general or in a kinetic fashion at various time points during viral infection.
