Description
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.

Applications Notes
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.
