Monoclonal antibody detects proliferating cells in the S phase via binding the synthetic nucleoside BrdU. Background and Research Application Bromodeoxyuridine (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, BrdU) is a synthetic nucleoside that is an analogue of thymidine. BrdU is commonly used in the detection of proliferating cells in living tissues. It can be incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA of replicating cells, within the S phase of the cell cycle instead of thymidine. Anti-BrdU works well in immunohistochemistry to identify cells in tissue sections or cytospin preparations that have incorporated BrdU. This indicates cells that were actively replicating their DNA. Anti-BrdU stains BrdU incorporated into the nuclei of a wide range of cell types, including human tonsil lymphoid cells and human tumours growing in nude mice. It is also useful to identify cells in S phase during FACS analysis. Anti-BrdU can be used to analyse the phenotype of S-phase cells and in co-localizing antigen expression and BrdU incorporation in tissue sections. This antibody was created to replace similar use polyclonal antibodies which frequently cross reacted with other nucleotides. Binding of this antibody requires denaturation of the DNA, usually by exposing the cells to acid or heat. |
| Host | Mouse |
| Immunogen | Bromodeoxyuridine conjugated to BSA |
| Subclass | IgG1 |
| Myeloma Used | P3/NS1/1-Ag4.1 |
| Recommended Growing Conditions | RPMI 1640 + 10% FCS + penicillin (100U/ml) + streptomycin (100mg/l) + glutamine (2mM) |
| Notes |
Production Details Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A. Storage Conditions Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Points of Interest Ultroser G can be used at 1% if the cells are not growing well. This monoclonal antibody can be used in both human and animal cells. A double-labelling technique can be used with this antibody, where cells or tissue sections are first labelled with an immunoperoxidase procedure for a cellular antigen and then BrdU is then detected by indirect immunofluorescence. Concentration 1mg/ml as standard |
