Clone Host Grade Applications Monoclonal Mouse IH IC FC IF

BrdU is a thymidine analog that, when added to replicateing cells, is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA strands. Evaluating the uptake of BrdU by dividing cells can provide a reliable estimation of cellular prolieration rates. BrdU immunohistochemistry may prove useful in determining proliferative rates for the evaluation of tumors.
Catalog #	B2850-01K
Positive Control	Bromodeoxyuridine labeled cells.
Applications	Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry (Fr) (paraffin-embedded sections) and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution	Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability	May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
CAS Number	n/a
Clone Type	Monoclonal
Isotype	IgG1
Clone No	8J385
Host	Mouse
Concentration	As reported
Form	PBS with 1% BSA containing 0.09% sodium azide
Purity	Ascites
Immunogen	BrdU conjugated to BSA.
Specificity	The antibody is specific for DNA in which BrdU has been incorporated. In immunoassays this antibody reacts strongly with free or carrier-protein coupled BrdU but not with other nucleosides. In immuncytochemistry the antibody only recognizes BrdU in denaturated (single stranded) DNA. The BrdU antibody is 100% crossreactive with Iodo-Deoxy-Uridine (IrdU). Therfore, IdU instead of BrdU can be used in studies. Species Crossreactivity: Crossreacts with human.
