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.

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
