Quantifying DNA Synthesis Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
If measuring 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation, cells were pulsed with 50 μM EdU (Cayman Chemical Cat# 20518) in growth media for 8 min prior to fixation and pre-extraction, unless otherwise stated. EdU is incorporated throughout the EdU pulse, such that incorporated EdU reflects the average rate of DNA synthesis over the length of the pulse. Thus an 8 min short EdU pulse is more reflective of the instantaneous DNA synthesis rate compared to a longer pulse such as 1 h. After blocking cells (prior to primary antibodies), cells were washed once with PBS, and then a click reaction67 (link) was performed in 2 mM CuSO4, 20 mg/mL sodium ascorbate in TBS (Tris 50 mM, NaCl 150 mM pH 8.3) with 3 μM AFDye 488 picolyl azide (Click Chemistry Tools Cat# 1276) or AFDye 647 picolyl azide (Click Chemistry Tools Cat# 1300) for 30 min, followed by a PBS wash.

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.
