Mouse anti-Human 5-Methylcytosine Antibody
5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (rAb)(Clone RM231)
ICC: 0.5-2ug/ml
MeDIP: 0.2-2ug/ml
Dot Blot (DB)
(Dot blot of 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (rAb).Dot blot of double stranded DNA using 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (RM231). The membrane was pre-spotted with 50, 5, and 0.5 ng/dot of double stranded 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) DNA, 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) DNA, and unmethylated DNA. The pre-spotted membrane was then blotted with 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody at 0.5 ug/ml.)
Testing Data
(MeDIP of 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (rAb).MeDIP was performed using 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (RM231) at a 2:1 DNA:Ab ratio. 1 ng of unmethylated, 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) or 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) DNA standard (897 bp) was spiked in 1 ug of genomic DNA isolated from HeLa cells as the control. Realtime PCR was then performed to determine the capture of DNA standard as in % of input.)
Immunofluorescence (IF)
(Immunofluorescence stain of 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (rAb).HeLa cells were stained using 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (RM231) antibody at 1 ug/ml (red). Actin filaments have been labeled with fluorescein phalloidin (green), and nuclei stained with DAPI (blue).)
Background: 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.

Product Notes
The 5-Methylcytosine (Catalog #AAA389510) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) antibody (rAb)(Clone RM231) reacts with Human 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), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Methyl DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP). DB: 0.5-2ug/ml ICC: 0.5-2ug/ml MeDIP: 0.2-2ug/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
