IP (Immunoprecipitation)
(5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC, 5-hydroxymethylcytidine) antibody tested by Methyl DNA immunoprecipitation. DNA (25 pg) derived from the promoter of the APC gene was spiked into 500 ng of human genomic DNA and subjected to the MeDIP procedure using 1 ?l of 5-Hydroxymethylcytidine antibody (5hmC, maroon bars) or 1 ?l of control rabbit IgG (IgG, blue bars). Real time quantitative PCR was performed on the immunoprecipitated DNA and results plotted as % of input DNA. The spiked APC DNA contained either no methylation (DNA), 5-methylcytosine methylation (5-mC) or 5-hydroxymethylcytosine methylation (5-hmC).)

Short Description: Our 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) antibody (pAb) was raised in a Rabbit host. It has been validated for use in Dot blot, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry and Methyl DNA Immunoprecipitation; it has been shown to react with Human and Mouse samples, but the sequence is not species specific so it should react with a wide range of sample types.
Background: We offers two polyclonal antibodies that recognize 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, a whole serum version and apurified IgG version. Both are validated for use in methyl DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP). For customers who must quantitate the amount of IgG in the MeDIP reaction, the purified IgG version is recommended. The whole serum version is very high titre, so should be used carefully (0.1-0.5ul per IP) to prevent non-specific background. The whole serum version has been used successfully in immunofluorescence (IF, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20639862, 2010);the purified IgG version is likely to work in IF as well.
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 aCpG dinucleotide. This modification helps to control gene expression and is also involved in genomic imprinting, while aberrant DNA methylation is often associated with disease. 5-methylcytosine is a modified base that is found in the DNA of plants and vertebrates.
A second type of DNA methylation exists,5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hydroxy methylcytosine, 5-hmC). This results from the enzymatic conversion of 5-methylcytosine into5-hydroxymethylcytosine by the TET family of cytosine oxygenases. This antibody was developed specifically to distinguish 5-hydroxymethylcytosine from 5-methylcytosine as conventional methods (enrichment by antibody or methyl DNA binding protein, enzymatic digestion and bisulfite sequencing) cannot do so. It is possible that5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) represents a pathway to demethylate DNA, as 5-hydroxymethylcytosine is repaired as mismatched DNA and replaced with unmethylated cytosine.

Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine 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-Hydroxymethylcytosine, Polyclonal 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
