It 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 BrdU is helpful in detecting S-phase cells, providing useful information on the aggressiveness of tumors.
Formulation
1 mg/ml in 1X PBS; BSA free, sodium azide free
Host
Mouse
Immunogen Region
BrdU conjugated to hemocyanine was used as the immunogen for the Bromodeoxyuridine antibody.
Isotype
Mouse IgG1, kappa
Species Reactivity
All species
Note
Optimal dilution of the Bromodeoxyuridine antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. For staining of formalin-fixed tissues, incubate sections in 4N HCl for 30 min 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.
