Regulatory Status Legend
Any use of products other than the permitted use without the express written authorization of Becton, Dickinson and Company is strictly prohibited.
Preparation And Storage
The monoclonal antibody is supplied as 50 µg purified immunoglobulin in 2.0 mL (25 µg/mL) of phosphate-buffered saline. The FITC conjugate is supplied as 50 µg in 2.0 mL (25 µg/mL). Buffered saline contains gelatin and 0.1% sodium azide. The vials should be stored at 2º to 8ºC. Conjugated forms should not be frozen and should be protected from prolonged exposure to light. Each reagent is stable for the period shown on the bottle label when stored as directed.
The Anti-BrdU antibody, clone B44, is derived from hybridization of Sp2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with iodouridine-conjugated ovalbumin. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is a uridine derivative that can be incorporated specifically into DNA in place of thymidine. Anti-BrdU identifies BrdU (but not thymidine) in single-stranded DNA, free BrdU, or BrdU coupled to a protein carrier. The antibody also reacts with iodouridine. DNase-I cleaves each strand of DNA at random and permits the binding of Anti-BrdU antibody to its antigen (BrdU).
