Description

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

About

Polyclonals can be used for Western blot, immunohistochemistry on frozen slices or parrafin fixed tissues. The advantage is that there are more epitopes available in a polyclonal antiserum to detect the proteins than in monoclonal sera.

Advisory

Avoid freeze/thaw cycles as they may denaturate the polypeptide chains of the antibody, thus reducing its reactivity, specificity and sensitivity. For antibodies that are in liquid form or reconstituted lyophilized antibodies small amounts could become entrapped on the seal or the walls of the tube. Prior to use briefly centrifuge the vial to gather all the solution on the bottom.

Background information

Cytidine is a nucleoside formed by a cytosine attached to a ribose ring via a beta-N1-glycosidic bond. DNA is methylated on cytidines by DNA methylases (DNMTs)to generate 5-methylcytidine (5-mC), a potent epigenetics marker and regulator of gene expression. The reverse reaction (cytidine demethylation) starts with its oxidation to hydroxymethyl- (5-hmC), formyl- (5-fC), and carboxy- (5-caC) cytidine. Several enzymes, including the Tet family of proteins have been implicated in cytidine demethylation.
