Bromodeoxyuridine/BrdU Antibody (rBRD.3) [DyLight 650] Summary

• Description: This conjugate is made on demand and is not held in inventory. Each order represents a unique lot. All conjugates are generated using validated conjugation protocols and meet strict degree of labeling (F/P) specifications; additional information is available upon request. The antibody concentration is provided on the individual product label.
  
  For specialized conjugation needs, like large quantities, specific concentrations, and defined F/P ratios, bulk and custom antibody conjugation services are available.
• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: Bromodeoxyuridine/BrdU conjugated to BSA
• Localization: Nuclear
• Marker: Proliferation Marker
• Specificity: It reacts with Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in single stranded DNA (produced by partial denaturation of double stranded DNA), BrdU coupled to a protein carrier, as well as free BrdU. BrdU is a thymidine analog, incorporated into cell nuclei during DNA synthesis prior to mitosis. Antibody to BrdU is helpful in detecting S-phase cells, providing useful information on the aggressiveness of tumors.

Background

Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is a synthetic nucleoside analogue of thymidine which can be incorporated into DNA in proliferating cells. During mitosis, BrdU may be incorporated into the newly synthezised DNA of S-phase cells, and can therefore provide an estimate for the fraction of cells in S-phase. Labeling cells with BrdU and then screening with BrdU antibodies has become a powerful tool to study the cytokinetics of normal and neoplastic cells. In vivo, BrdU is considered a potential carcinogen, as its incorporation into DNA may cause mutations.
