Dot Blot (DB)
(Dot blot of AbFlex 5-methylcytosine antibody (rAb). DNA standards from (5, 1 and 0.2 ng as indicated) were spotted onto positively charged nylon membrane and blotted with AbFlex 5-methylcytosine recombinant antibody at a 1 ug/mL. Lane 1: Unmethylated DNA. Lane 2: DNA containing 5-methylcytosine. Lane 3: DNA containing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine.)
Background: AbFlex antibodies are recombinant antibodies (rAbs) that have been generated using defined DNA sequences to produce highly specific, reproducible antibodies. Each AbFlex antibody contains a 6xHis-tag, a Biotinylation Tag for enzymatic biotin conjugation using the biotin ligase, BirA, and a sortase recognition motif (LPXTG) to attach a variety of labels directly to the antibody including fluorophores, enzymatic substrates (HRP, AP), peptides, drugs as well as solid supports. AbFlex 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody was expressed as full-length IgG with mouse immunoglobulin heavy and light chains (IgG2a isotype) in mammalian 293 cells. 5-Methylcytosine (5-Methylcytidine) 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. This antibody is useful for discrimination between the modified base and its normal cytosine counterpart, allowing for gene promoter methylation analysis.

Product Notes
The 5-methylcytosine (Catalog #AAA389458) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AbFlex 5-methylcytosine antibody (rAb) reacts with Not Species Specific and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's 5-methylcytosine can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Dot Blot (DB). Applications Validated: DB: 1ug/ml. 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, 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
