  • Description
    Mouse monoclonal [33D3] to 5-Methyl Cytidine - ChIP Grade
  • SpecificityClone 33D3 has been developed to discriminate between the modified base 5-MeCyd and the normal counterpart cytosine.
  • Tested applicationsIHC-P, MeDIP, ChIP, IP, WB, Southern Blot, Flow Cyt, IHC-Fr more details
  • Immunogen

    Recognises the modified base 5-methylcytidine found in DNA of plants and vertebrates.

  • General notesStorage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Should this product contain a precipitate microcentrifugation before use.

    While older lots have performed well in ICC, we have received inconsistent results with the latest lots. Unfortunately, we can no longer guarantee this antibody for use in ICC.


    Ab10805 recognises the modified base 5-methylcytidine found in DNA of plants and vertebrates. DNA methylation is a DNA modification process, which is involved in the control of gene expression. Reports suggest that in tumours, DNA is frequently globally hypomethylated compared to the DNA from normal tissue.

Properties

Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab10805 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Notes
IHC-P IHC-P: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
MeDIP MeDIP: Use at an assay dependent dilution. PubMed: 17845077Used 5ul in 200ul reaction with 2ug digested genomic DNA from Drosophila.
ChIP ChIP: Use at an assay dependent concentration.
IP IP: Use at an assay dependent concentration.
WB WB: 1/250.
Southern Blot SB: 1/200.
Flow Cyt Flow Cyt: Use at an assay dependent dilution. Use 10ul of working dilution to label 1000000 cells in 100ul. (see Habib, M. et al. (1999)).
IHC-Fr IHC-Fr: Use at an assay dependent dilution.
  • Application notesIs unsuitable for or ICC.
  • Target

    • RelevanceCytidine is a nucleoside formed by a cytosine attached to a ribose ring via a ß-N1-glycosidic bond. DNA is methylated on cytidines by DNA methylases (DNMTs)to generate 5-methylcytidine (5-mC), a potent epigenetics marker and regulator of gene expression. The reverse reaction (cytidine demethylation) starts with its oxidation to hydroxymethyl- (5-hmC), formyl- (5-fC), and carboxy- (5-caC) cytidine. Several enzymes, including the Tet family of proteins have been implicated in cytidine demethylation.

    • ab10805 staining 5-Methyl Cytidine in pig embryo (15 to 17 days) tissue section by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue underwent fixation in paraformaldehyde, heat mediated antigen retrieval in Tris-EDTA buffer, permeabilization in Triton X-100 and blocking in 2% BSA for 10 minutes at 25°C. The primary antibody was diluted, 1/100 (PBS + 2% BSA) and incubated with sample for 1 hour at 25°C. An Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugated donkey polyclonal to mouse at 1/250 dilution, was used as secondary.
