General notes
Storage 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.

Primary antibody notesAb10805 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.

Target
-
FormThe native context of double-stranded DNA may obstruct antibody binding to 5-methylcytosine. For successful detection of 5-methylcytosine, we recommend that the DNA is denatured to make the nucleotides accessible for the antibody. Denaturing methods vary depending on each application.

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.

Fig S1.; doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0082881Dot blot carried out using ab10805 (left blot), showing specificity to 5-methylcytosine. Indicated amounts (20–5 ng) of oligonucleotides containing either 5mC (50%) or 5hmC (20 %) were spotted on positive charged nylon membrane and detected either with 5mC (ab10805) or 5hmC antibody.
