Mouse anti-Human 5-Methylcytosine Monoclonal Antibody
5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (mAb)(Clone A1)
MeDIP: 1-2ug per IP
MeDIP-Seq: 1-2ug each
DB: 0.5-2ug/ml dilution
In MeDIP, the DNA must be denatured when using this antibody. For 5-methylcytosine, we also offer AbFlex 5-methylcytosine Recombinant Antibody (rAb). For details
Testing Data
(Next-Gen sequencing data generated using 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (mAb) correlates well with CpG density. DNA was enriched from 1 ug of denatured, adaptor ligated human PC9 cell DNA using 2 ul of the 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (mAb). MeDIP DNA was sequenced using the Illumina platform to generate 26 million sequence tags. Tags were mapped to generate a whole-genome DNA methylation profile. The image above shows that the enriched regions (purple peaks) correlate well with CpG density (green overlay).)
Immunoprecipitation (IP)
(5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (mAb) tested by Methyl-DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP). Methylated DNA derived from the promoter of the APC gene was amplified using 5me-dCTP and PCR. 25pg of methylated DNA was spiked into 500 ng of MseI digested human genomic DNA and subjected to the MeDIP procedure using 5?g of 5-Methylcytidine antibody or control mouse IgG. Real time quantitative PCR to amplify the methylated APC promoter DNA was performed on the immunoprecipitated DNA and results plotted as Fold Enrichment over control IgG.)
Dot Blot (DB)
(5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (mAb) tested by dot blot analysis. DNA from the Methylated DNA Standard Kit were spotted (5 ng per spot) on to a positively charged nylon membrane and blotted with 5-Methylcytosine antibody (2 ug/ml dilution). Lane 1: single-stranded unmethylated DNA. Lane 2: single-stranded DNA containing 5-methylcytosine. Lane 3: single-stranded DNA containing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. Lane 4: double-stranded unmethylated DNA. Lane 5: double-stranded DNA containing 5-methylcytosine. Lane 6: double-stranded DNA 5-hydroxymethylcytosine.)
Background: 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) is a modified base that is found in the DNA of plants and vertebrates. DNA methylation is an epigenetic event in which DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) catalyze the reaction of a methyl group to the fifth carbon of cytosine in a CpG dinucleotide. This modification helps to control gene expression and is also involved in genomic imprinting, while aberrant DNA methylation is often associated with disease. The 5-methylcytidine antibody (Clone A1) has been developed to discriminate between the modified base and its normal cytosine counterpart, allowing for gene promoter methylation analysis.

Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the 5-Methylcytosine for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "5-Methylcytosine, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
