General description

Imprint™ Methylated DNA Quantification technology provides a rapid and reliable method to measure global DNA methylation shifts. The Imprint Methylated DNA Quantification Kit contains all reagents required to detect relative levels of methylated DNA. Up to 200 ng of purified DNA is bound to the wells of the assay strip. The methylated DNA is detected using the Capture and Detection antibodies, then quantified colorimetrically. The amount of methylated DNA present in the sample is proportional to the absorbance measured.

Application

Imprint® Methylated DNA Quantification Kit has been used in global DNA methylation analysis.

Features and Benefits

  • ELISA based format
  • Procedure completes in 4 easy to follow steps
  • All reagents supplied including control methylated DNA
  • Detection limit is 5 ng of fully methylated DNA
  • Input DNA may be as low as 10-200 ng
  • Procedure completes in 3.5 hours
  • 96 well format allows option of studying single samples or high-throughput studies
  • Optimized antibody and reagents with high specificity to 5-mC; no cross-reactivity to unmethylated cytosine
  • May be used with adherent and suspension cells, tissues, plasma and other body fluids such as saliva, urine and serum

Environmental exposures in-utero may alter the epigenome, thus impacting chromosomal stability and gene expression. We hypothesized that in utero exposures to maternal smoking and perfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs) are associated with global DNA hypomethylation in umbilical cord serum. Our objective was

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease in which fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) exhibit an aggressive phenotype. Although the mechanisms responsible are not well defined, epigenetic determinants such as DNA methylation might contribute. DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) are critical enzymes that

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that plays an important role in the normal development and function of organisms. The level of DNA methylation is species-, tissue-, and organelle-specific, and the methylation pattern is determined during embryogenesis. DNA methylation has

Recent evidence indicates that maternal nutrition during pregnancy influences gene expression in offspring through epigenetic alterations. In the present study we evaluated the effect of protein excess and deficiency during porcine pregnancy on offspring hepatic and skeletal muscular expression patterns
