Discovery of a new predominant cytosine DNA modification that is linked to gene expression in malaria parasites.Hammam E, Ananda G, Sinha A, Scheidig-Benatar C, Bohec M, Preiser PR, Dedon PC, Scherf A, Vembar SS.Nucleic Acids Res. 2020 Jan 10;48(1):184-199. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkz1093.
Immunocytochemistry staining of HeLa cells with 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) monoclonal antibody, clone RM231 (Cat # MAB15115) (Red). Actin filaments have been labeled with fluorescein phalloidin (Green), and nuclei stained with DAPI (Blue).
Enzyme-linked Immunoabsorbent Assay
ELISA analysis of single stranded DNA with 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) monoclonal antibody, clone RM231 (Cat # MAB15115). The plate was coated with streptavidin and then biotinylated single stranded unmethylated DNA, 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) DNA, and 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) DNA. A serial dilution of MAB15115 was used as the primary antibody, and an alkaline phosphatase conjugated anti-rabbit IgG as the secondary antibody.
Dot Blot
Dot blot analysis of double stranded DNA with 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) monoclonal antibody, clone RM231 (Cat # MAB15115). The membrane was pre-spotted with 50, 5, and 0.5 ng/dot of double stranded 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) DNA, 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) DNA, and unmethylated DNA. The pre-spotted membrane was then blotted with MAB15115.
Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation
Methylated DNA Immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) analysis of 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) monoclonal antibody, clone RM231 (Cat # MAB15115) at a 2:1 DNA:Ab ratio. 1 ng of unmethylated, 5-Methylcytosine (5-mC) or 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) DNA standard (897 bp) was spiked in 1 ug of genomic DNA isolated from HeLa cells as the control. Realtime PCR was then performed to determine the capture of DNA standard as in % of input.
