Product Name: BrdU Antibody [BRD494]
Species Reactivity: All species
Tested Applications: Flow, IF, IHC
Applications: Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cellsIF: 0.5-1 ug/mlIHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1)Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Bromodeoxyuridine / BrdU antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.1. For staining of formalin-fixed tissues, incubate sections in 4N HCl for 30 minutes at RT followed by digestion with trypsin at 1mg/ml PBS, 10 min at 37oC.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher

Background: This antibody reacts with Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in single stranded DNA (produced by partial denaturation of double stranded DNA), BrdU coupled to a protein carrier, as well as free BrdU. BrdU is a thymidine analog, incorporated into cell nuclei during DNA synthesis prior to mitosis. Antibody to Bromodeoxyuridine / BrdU is helpful in detecting S-phase cells, providing useful information on the aggressiveness of tumors.
