Clone Host Grade Applications Monoclonal Mouse Ascites IH IC FC

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 S-phase cells may 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.
Catalog #	B2850-01N1
Applications	Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution	Flow Cytometry: 1:25-1:50* Incubate for 30-60 min at RT.
	Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin): 1:25-1:50; Incubate for 30-60 min at RT. Performing heat mediated antigen retrieval may be benefical.
