Description générale

The kit is used for the detection of BrdU incorporated into cellular DNA using immunofluorescence microscopy. It is used for the detection of DNA synthesis by either in vitro labeling of cells or organ cultures, or by in vivo labeling, in which frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue sections must be prepared prior to fixation.
Normally, binding of the antibody is only achieved by denaturation of the DNA. This is usually obtained by exposing the cells to acid, base, or heat. These procedures result in destruction of cell integrity, including cell morphology and surface and cytoplasmatic markers.
The BrdU Labeling and Detection Kit I avoids these problems. The antibody preparation contains specific nucleases which allows access to BrdU after fixation in acidic ethanol. Therefore also simultaneous detection of other markers (double staining) is possible.

Spécificité

Anti-BrdU monoclonal antibody specifically binds to 5-bromo-2′-deoxy-uridine, and shows cross-reactivity with 5-iodo-2′-deoxy-uridine (10%). Anti-BrdU shows no cross-reactivity with 5-fluoro-2′-deoxy-uridine or any endogenous cellular component, such as thymidine or uridine.

Application

Samples prelabeled with BrdU are fixed with ethanol, then incubated with a monoclonal antibody to BrdU. The antibody to BrdU supplied with the kit contains an optimized mixture of nucleases. These nucleases generate single-stranded DNA fragments, which allow binding of the antibody to BrdU without destruction of the cellular morphology. A fluorescein-labeled antibody to mouse immunoglobulin is added, then bound to the anti-BrdU antibody. Subsequently, the sample is evaluated using an immunofluorescence microscope.

  • Safe: No radioisotopes are used
  • Easy to perform: Follows a standard immunofluorescence protocol
  • Sensitive: Denaturation of DNA with nucleases allows for highly sensitive detection of BrdU
  • Flexible: Allows double-labeling protocols

BrdU Labeling and Detection Kit has been used for the detection of 5-bromo-2′-deoxy-uridine (BrdU) incorporated into cellular DNA.

Conditionnement

1 kit containing 5 components.

Notes préparatoires

Cell proliferation may be studied by monitoring the incorporation of a radioisotope, [3H]-thymidine, into cellular DNA, followed by autoradiography. Alternatively, 5-bromo-2′-deoxy-uridine (BrdU) may be used instead of thymidine. Cells that have incorporated BrdU into DNA are easily detected using a monoclonal antibody against BrdU and an enzyme- or fluorochrome-conjugated second antibody.
Working solution: BrdU labeling medium
Dilute BrdU labeling reagent 1:1000 with sterile cell culture medium (final concentration 10μM).

Plexin-A4 is a receptor for sema6A and sema6B and associates with neuropilins to transduce signals of class-3 semaphorins. We observed that plexin-A1 and plexin-A4 are required simultaneously for transduction of inhibitory sema3A signals and that they form complexes. Unexpectedly, inhibition

Tumor necrosis factor-like cytokine 1A (TL1A) is expressed in endothelial cells and contributes to T-cell activation, via an extracellular fragment TL1A(L72-L251), generated by ectodomain shedding. Fragments of TL1A, referred to as vascular endothelial growth inhibitor, were found to induce growth

Shortly after birth, muscle cells of the mammalian heart lose their ability to divide. At the same time, the N-cadherin/catenin cell adhesion complex accumulates at the cell termini, creating a specialized type of cell-cell contact called the intercalated disc (ICD).
