BD Pharmingen™ Purified Mouse Anti- BrdU (555627)

经验证应用

推荐实验流程

This product is NOT recommended to use with BrdU flow kits, e.g. Cat. No. 559619. Please see the detailed protocol under "Cell Cycle/DNA Analysis" at our website: www.bdbiosciences.com/resources/index.jsp

制备与储存

Store undiluted at 4°C. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.

荧光格式说明

Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.

产品提示

Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results., An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest., Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing., Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use., Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application., Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.

Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is an analog of thymidine that can be incorporated into newly synthesized DNA by cells entering and progressing through the DNA synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle. The amount of incorporated BrdU depends on 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. Investigators can identify cycling cells in an asynchronous cell population and determine cell cycle kinetics by detecting incorporated BrdU. 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.
