BrdU Mouse, PerCP, Clone: 3D4, BD

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  BD Biosciences 560808

Catalog No. BDB560808

Description

Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is an analog of thymidine that can be incorporated into newly synthesized DNA by cells entering and progressing thru the DNA synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle. The amount of BrdU that gets incorporated is dependent upon the amount of time that the cells are exposed to BrdU (pulse time), the rate of cell division, and whether the cells are in early, mid, or late S phase. Detection of incorporated BrdU allows the investigator to identify cycling cells in an asynchronous cell population and to determine cell cycle kinetics.

The 3D4 monoclonal antibody reacts with BrdU, but not other nucleotides, in single-stranded DNA. Random cleavage (nicking) of cellular DNA with DNase I permits the binding of the antibody to incorporated BrdU.
