Applikationshinweise
Suitable for Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry (Frozen or Formalin-FixedParaffin-Embedded (FFPE) tissue sections and cell smears)For IHC dilute concentared antibody at 1/50-1/100, use streptavidinapprox. biotin system orpolymer system, incubate 30 minutes at room temperature. For staining of FFPE tissue sections, incubate with 4 N HCl for 20 minutes at RT, followed bytreatment with proteolytic digestion for 10 minutes at RT. Immunofluorescence: 10-20 μg/mL (1/10-1/20), incubate for 2 hours in the dark at RT or itcan also be incubated overnight at 4 °C. Flow Cytometry: 0.2-1.0 μg/0.1 mL(1/200-1/1,000). Recommended Positive Control: Liver of experimental animal injected with BrdU or cell linegrown in presence of BrdU. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Bromodeoxyuridine (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, BrdU) is a synthetic nucleoside which is an analogue of thymidine. BrdU is commonly used in the detection of proliferating cells in living tissues. BrdU can be incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA of replicating cells (during the S phase of the cell cycle), substituting for thymidine during DNA replication. Antibodies specific to BrdU can then be used to detect the incorporated chemical, thus indicating cells that were actively replicating their DNA. Binding of the antibody requires denaturation of the DNA by heat or acid.
