Relevance | The anti-5-Hydroxymethylcytosine antibody, clone AB3/63.3, detects 5-hydroxymethyl cytosine (hmc, 5hmc), but not 5-methylcytosine or unmethylated cytosine. 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine is a DNA pyrimidine nitrogen base. It is formed from the DNA base cytosine by adding a methyl group and then a hydroxy group. Every mammalian cell contains 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the levels vary depending on the cell type; generally, the levels of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine increase with age. Although the exact function has not been fully elucidated, studies suggest that 5-hydroxymethylcytosine may regulate gene expression or initiate DNA demethylation. |
Host | Rat |
Immunogen | 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine conjugated to BSA |
Positive Control | Unmodified DNA, 5-Methylcytosine DNA, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine DNA |
Subclass | IgG2a kappa |
Notes |
Evaluated by Dot Blot in a panel of unmodified DNA, 5-Methylcytosine DNA, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine DNA. Dot Blot Analysis: 10 µg/mL and 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in a panel of unmodified DNA, 5-Methylcytosine DNA, and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine DNA. Non-species specific antibody against modified DNA. Expected to detect 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in all species. |
