Additional Information

Alternative name Bromodeoxyuridine / BrdU
Immunogen IIB5 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse intraperitoneally immunized with BrdU conjugated to bovine serum albumin.
Format Culture supernatant
Isotype IgG1  (Matching secondary antibodies)
Clone IIB5
Description 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 the S-phase cells and can thus 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.

Application Details

Application Notes IIB5 reacts with bromodeoxyuridine also when incorporated into nuclear DNA. IIB5 is suitable for flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissues with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration.
Storage Store at 4 o C, or in small aliquots at -20 o C.
