Anti brdu

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States, Germany

Anti-BrdU is a laboratory reagent used for the detection of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) in biological samples. It is a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to BrdU, a synthetic analog of the DNA base thymidine that is incorporated into the DNA of dividing cells. This allows for the identification and quantification of cells undergoing DNA synthesis and cell division.

Cell Proliferation Assay was performed as previously described [18 (link)]. Briefly, 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) was administered 6 hours prior to tissue collection (75mg/kg, i.p.). Mouse lung cryosections (5μm) were stained overnight with anti-BrdU (1:5 dilution, BD Biosciences, USA) at 4°C then incubated with Alexa FITC-conjugated secondary antibody (1:200 dilution, Life Technologies, USA) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Lung vascular endothelial cells were immunostained with anti-vWF (1:300 dilution) and anti-CD31 (1:40 dilution) antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. Sections were incubated with Texas Red-conjugated secondary antibody (1:700 dilution) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Two sections per lung tissue and 10 fields (20X) per section were quantified blindly.
Apoptosis was assessed using the In Situ Cell Death Detection Kit according to manufacturer’s instructions and anti-vWF and anti-CD31 antibodies were used to immunostain endothelial cells (ECs) as described above. Two sections per lung tissue and 10 fields (20X) per section were quantified blindly.

Cell Cycle Analysis via BrdU and PI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For dynamic cell cycle analysis (BrdU-incorporation) cells were pulsed with 10 μM BrdU for 1 h and stained with anti-BrdU according to a standard protocol (BD Biosciences). For static cell cycle analysis, cells were stained with propidium iodide (25 mg/ml PI; 100 µg/ml RNAse in PBS; Sigma-Aldrich, Heidelberg, Germany). Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis was determined by PI or two-dimensional (fluorescein and PI) flow cytometry. Analysis of DNA content occurred in the linear mode, apoptosis measuring in the logarithmic mode of the FL2 channel. Results were quantified using FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc., Ashland, OR). Cells with DNA content <2n were considered apoptotic (sub-G1).

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.
