BrdU Antibody (48-5071-41) in Flow
Anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated mouse splenocytes either unlabeled (left) or labeled with BrdU (right) were intracellularly stained with Anti-Mouse CD4 APC (Product # 17-0041-82) and Anti-BrdU eFluor® 450 using the BrdU Staining Kit for Flow Cytometry eFluor® 450 and protocol. Total viable cells were used for analysis.

Product Specific Information
Description: This Bu20a monoclonal antibody reacts with 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). BrdU is a derivative of uridine that can be incorporated into DNA in place of thymidine during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Anti-BrdU can then be used to identify cells that have undergone DNA synthesis during BrdU treatment.
For staining for flow cytometric analysis, we recommend the use of the BrdU Staining Buffer Set (Product # 00-5525) and protocol.
Applications Reported: This BU20A antibody has been reported for use in intracellular staining followed by flow cytometric analysis.
Applications Tested: This BU20A antibody has been pre-titrated and tested This BU20A antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of BrdU-pulsed mouse splenocytes using the BrdU Staining Buffer Set (Product # 00-5525-00) and protocol. This can be used at 5 µL (0.25 µg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (µg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 µL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.
eFluor® 450 is an alternative to Pacific Blue®. eFluor® 450 emits at 445 nm and is excited with the Violet laser (405 nm). Please make sure that your instrument is capable of detecting this fluorochome.
Excitation: 405 nm; Emission: 445 nm; Laser: Violet Laser.
Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.
Target Information
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, and 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 for 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, usually by exposing the cells to acid or heat.
