Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is a thymidine analog and is specifically incor-porated into DNA during DNA synthesis. Anti-bromodeoxyuridine monoclonal antibody is used to identify cells that have incorporated BrdU. This immunological detection scheme has several advantages over the use of radioactive thymidine incorporation for identifying cells under-going replication. Labeling and detection can be performed the same day instead of waiting several days, as required for autoradiography of tritium-labeled cells, and the necessity of using multiple specimens for obtaining the optimal exposure time is eliminated. In addition, anti-bromodeoxyuridine staining with flow cytometric analysis allows multiple parameters to be evaluated simultaneously. This antibody does not require pretreatment of cells with strong DNA denaturants in order for the antibody to recognize incorporated BrdU. The antibody′s special ability is thought to be due to the presence of DNAse in the antibody solution arising from the mycoplasma infecting the original hybridoma line {Gonchoroff, 1985}.
Specificity
Specifically binds to bromodeoxyuridine (crossreacts with iodouridine 10%). Does not crossreact with fluorodeoxyuridine, nor with any endogenous cellular components such as thymidine or uridine.

Misty mice (m/m) have a loss of function mutation in Dock7 gene, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor, resulting in low bone mineral density, uncoupled bone remodeling and reduced bone formation. Dock7 has been identified as a modulator of osteoblast number
The present study aimed to identify the effects of sugar and methods (slow freezing [SF] vs. fast freezing [FF]) on post-thaw in vitro functional characteristics of cryopreserved caprine spermatogonial stem cells (cSSCs) and the cells obtained from cryopreserved testis tissue
Activating mutations in KRAS are prevalent in lung cancer and have been causally linked to the oncogenic process. However, therapies targeted to oncogenic RAS have been ineffective to date and identification of KRAS targets that impinge on the oncogenic phenotype

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is a cofactor for enzymes of central energy metabolism and its deficiency (TD) impairs oxidative phosphorylation, increases oxidative stress, and activates inflammatory processes that can lead to neurodegeneration. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS) is a consequence of chronic TD
The present study aims to evaluate culture temperature-dependent variation in survival, growth characteristics and expression of stress, pluripotency, apoptosis, and adhesion markers in enriched caprine male germline stem cells (cmGSCs). For this, testes from pre-pubertal bucks (4-5 months; n = 4) were used
