Preparation And Storage
Store vials at 2°C–8°C. Conjugated forms should not be frozen. Protect from exposure to light. Each reagent is stable until the expiration date 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).
