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. It has been reported in the literature that this antibody clone cross-reacts with Edu (PMID: 23272138) and some customers reported that it cross reacts with IdU.

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. Detailed BrdU protocol is available here.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-BrdU antibody [BU1/75 (ICR1)] (ab220076)

    ab220076 staining BrdU in HeLa cells. Untreated and BrdU treated (10uM for 24 hours) cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) and then subjected to acid hydrolysis using 2M HCL in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 30 minutes at room temperature to denature the DNA. They were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab220076 at 1/100 dilution (pseudocolored in red) and Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker ab195887, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor® 488), at 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HeLa cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min).
