This product recognizes the modified base 5-methylcytidine (5-MeCyd) 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.
This antibody has been reported for use in Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP).
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
This product should be stored undiluted.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
Formulation:
Phosphate buffered saline
