Not applicable.

Specificity 

This antibody reacts with BrdU in single stranded DNA, BrdU attached to a protein carrier or free BrdU. It detects nucleated cells in S-Phase which have had BrdU incorporated into their DNA. Also reacts with chlorodeoxyuridine but with reduced staining. The antibody does not react with thymidine.
The antibody does not cross react with IdU.

Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
Flow Cyt: 1/40.
ICC/IF: 1/250
IHC-P: 1/40. It is strongly recommended to use an amplification method such as ABC or PAP/APAAP to visualize staining.
IHC-Fr: 1/40 - 1/200. In addition, found to work at 1/400 (see PMID: 16670699).
Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed): 1/40 (from PubMed:16373695).

Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

This antibody is also available in FITC (ab74545), HRP (ab74546) and Biotin (ab74547) conjugated formats.

Relevance 

The immunocytochemical detection of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporated into DNA is a powerful tool to study the cytokinetics of normal and neoplastic cells. In vitro or in vivo labeling of tumor cells with the thymidine analogue BrdU and the subsequent detection of incorporated BrdU with specific anti-BrdU monoclonal antibodies is an accurate and comprehensive method to quantitate the degree of DNA-synthesis.

BrdU is incorporated into the newly synthezised DNA of S-phase cells may provide an estimate for the fraction of cells in S-phase. Also dynamic proliferative information such as the S-phase transit rate and the potential doubling time can be obtained, by means of bivariate BrdU/DNA flow cytometric analysis.

Notes 

The antibody recognises single stranded DNA so the DNA needs to be unraveled first. This can be done with DNAse, although this doesn't give the best results. Depending on the assay, acid denaturation with 2M HCL or heat denaturation are the most successful. Please note this step is critical in any assay with this antibody and is the area that should be modified to optimise results.

ab6326 at 1/200 staining mouse E14.5 embryonic telencephalon tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retireval step was performed. The tissue was then stained with the antibody for 12 hours. A Texas Red conjugated donkey anti-rat antibody was used as the secondary.

ab6326 staining BrdU in mouse brain tissue sections by IHC-Fr (paraformaldehyde-fixed frozen sections). Tissue samples were fixed with paraformaldehyde; permeabilized win 0.3% Triton X-100 and blocked with 5% Serum for 2 hours at 4°C. Before permeabilization samples were pretreated with 2N HCl at RT for 30 min and washed 3 times. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/200) at 4°C for 12 hours. An Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated Goat polyclonal to rat IgG (1/500) was used as secondary antibody. BrdU staining shown in green and NewN staining showin in red.
