I tried this antibody in Western Blot studies using mouse embryonic fibroblast cells and observed that it poorly detects Dnmt1 protein at endogenous levels in these cells. However, It detected Dnmt1 easily in HEK293T cells.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Cell lysates from different mouse and human cell lines

Primary Incubation

1:1000 Dilution in BSA, overnight incubation in cold room

Blocking Agent

BSA

Secondary Incubation

Anti-Mouse-HRP, 1:3000, 1 hour incubation at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Biorad Clarity HRP substrate

Results Summary

This antibody easily detected Dnmt1 in HEK293T cells but not in MEFs. Detection of Dnmt1 in NIH3T3 cells was also difficult.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

It can detect endogenous Dnmt1 if the endogenous level is high

The Bad

Cannot detect low levels of Dnmt1

The Bottom Line

I will use this antibody for human cells but not in mouse cells
