Alexa Fluor® 555 Anti-BrdU antibody [BU1/75 (ICR1)]

Product details

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. Detailed BrdU protocol is available here.
