eBioscience™ BrdU Kit for IHC/ICC Immunofluorescence eFluor™ 570

This BrdU Kit for immunohistochemistry (IHC)/immunocytochemistry (ICC) with immunofluorescence detection contains the necessary reagents and buffers for identifying and examining proliferating cells by immunohistochemical or immunocytochemical analysis. Cells are labeled in vitro or in vivo with 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine (BrdU), a synthetic analog of thymidine, which is incorporated into DNA in place of thymidine during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Following fixation and antigen retrieval steps, cells or tissue sections are stained for BrdU incorporation and visualized using a streptavidin-conjugated fluorophore. This kit has been optimized for IHC with both frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded BrdU-labeled mouse intestine and ICC of BrdU-pulsed HeLa cells grown on culture slides.
