Edu assay kit
The EdU assay kit is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify cellular proliferation. It functions by incorporating a modified nucleoside, EdU (5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine), into the DNA of actively dividing cells, which can then be visualized and analyzed using fluorescent detection methods.

After transfection, cells were exposed to 50 μmol/L of EdU for 4 h at 37°C and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. After being washed with a phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS, 140 mmol/L NaCl, 2.7 mmol/L KCl, 10 mmol/L Na2HPO4, and 1.8 mM KH2PO4), and permeabilized with 0.2% TritonX‐100 in PBS at 37°C for 30 min at room temperature. After being washed with PBS twice for 5 min, cells were reacted with 100 μL of 1 × Apollo reaction cocktail for 30 min. Then, the cells were stained with 100 μL of Hoechst 33342 (5 μg/mL) for 30 min and visualized under a fluorescent microscope.
Cell Proliferation and DNA Synthesis Assays
EdU assay was performed to determine DNA synthesis in proliferating cells by using an EdU assay kit (Invitrogen). After transfection, cells were cultured for 48 h, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized by 0.3% Triton X-100. Then cells were incubated with 10 μM EdU for 2 h, and cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (5 μg/ml). The number of EdU-positive cells was counted under a microscope in five random fields (Olympum). All assays were independently performed in triplicate.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
