General description

The immunocytochemical detection of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporated into DNA is a powerful tool to study the cytokinetics of normal and neoplastic cells. In vitro or in vivo labeling of tumor cells with the thymidine analogue BrdU and the subsequent detection of incorporated BrdU with specific anti-BrdU monoclonal antibodies is an accurate and comprehensive method to quantitate the degree of DNA-synthesis. BrdU is incorporated into the newly synthezised DNA of the S-phase cells and can thus provide an estimate for the fraction of cells in S-phase. Also dynamic proliferative information (such as the S-phase transit rate and the potential doubling time) can be obtained, by means of bivariate BrdU/DNA flow cytometric analysis.

Immunogen

5-iodouridine:ovalbumin conjugate

Application

Detect BrdU also known as Bromodeoxyuridine with Anti-BrdU Antibody, clone BU-1 (Mouse Monoclonal Antibody), that has been demonstrated to work in ICC.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Bromo-2-deoxyuridine

Physical form

4 vials, each vial containing mouse culture supernatant lyophilized from 2.5 mL. The supernatant contains mycoplasma, which contribute enzymes that facilitate antibody binding. Lyophilized powder.

Analysis Note

A representative lot was evaluated by immunocytochemistry on HeLa cells. A 1:2-1:4 dilution from a representative lot showed positive immunostaining for Anti-BrdU in HeLa cells fixed with 95% ethanol, 5% glacial acetic acid. This lot was tested using the DNA Replication Assay Kit (Catalog # 17-316).

Technical Tip: This antibody detects 5-Bromo-2- deoxyuridine incorporated into double-stranded DNA. DNA denaturation is not required.
