BrdU Antibody (MA3-071) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescent analysis of BrdU (green) showing staining in the nucleus of Hela cells treated with 100nM BrdU (right) and untreated Hela cells (left). Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with a BrdU monoclonal antibody (Product # MA3-071) in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1:50 and incubated overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight-conjugated secondary ... View More

Product Specific Information
MA3-071 detects 5-Bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) in many samples.
MA3-071 has been successfully used in immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry applications.
The MA3-071 immunogen is 5-iodouridine covalently coupled to ovalbumin.
This antibody was orginally validated as part of a Thermo Scientific Cellomics High Content Screening Kit. The antibody sold separately may have slightly different performance and may need to be further optimized for the best results.
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.
