Description

General description

The antibody MoBu-1 reacts specifically with BrdU incorporated into DNA during S-phase of a cell cycle. The antibody MoBu-1 is also useful for detecting proliferating cells by flow cytometry or immunofluorescence staining. It reacts also specifically with 5-bromouridine (BrU).

Immunogen

5-bromodeoxyuridine conjugated with hemocyanine

Application

Monoclonal Anti-5-bromodeoxyuridine antibody produced in mouse has been used in Immunocytochemistry.[1] The reagent is designed for Flow Cytometry analysis. Suggested working dilution for Flow Cytometry is 1-2 μg/mL of sample. Indicated dilution is recommended starting point for use of this product. Working concentrations should be determined by the investigator.

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is an analogue of thymidine, used to measure DNA synthesis immunochemically in living cells. BrdU along with cAMP and butyrate plays a vital role in the cellular differentiation in several mammalian cell types. It also inhibits cell growth in mammalian and yeast cells by modulating the expression of particular genes involved in cell division. In the absence of DNA synthesis, brdu promotes mouse neuroblastoma C1300 cell differentiation into cells that morphologically are similar to mature neurons. BrdU activates cell senescence-like phenomenon in mammalian cells.
