DG75-eGFP, DG75-10/12 and BCBL-1 were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 100 IU/ml Penicillin, 100 µg/ml Streptomycin and 2 mM L-Glutamin. BL41, BL41 B95.8 and Jijoye were cultered in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% fetal calf serum and Penicillin/Streptomycin as well as Bykomycine and Nystatin.

Extraction protocol
5x10e08 cells were lyzed in 10 ml of lysis buffer containing 25 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 2 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5 mM DTT, and protease inhibitors (Roche); incubated for 30 min at 4°C and cleared by centrifugation at 20,000 g for 30 min. Conditions for immunoprecipitation: 60 µl Protein-G sepharose beads were incubated with 5 m RPMI containing 6µg of either anti hAgo2 (11A9) or anti-BrdU (abcam) over night. Next morning columns were drained by gravity flow and washed once with lysis buffer. Next, 5 ml of lysates were added and incubated for 3 h at 4°C. In the meanwhile, total RNA was prepared from 100µl of cell lysates. This was analyzed for BL41, B41 B95.8 and Jijoye instead of the BrdU-IP. Following the incubation, beads were washed 4x with IP wash buffer (300 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris HCl pH 7.5, 5 mM Mg2Cl, 0.1% NP-40, 1 mM NaF) and once with PBS. RNA was recovered using miRNeasy (Qiagen).
