Bromodeoxyuridine (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine, BrdU) is an analog of the DNA base thymidine. During DNA synthesis, BrdU is substituted for thymidine and is incorporated into the newly synthesized DNA of replicating cells.

Antibodies to BrdU provide a powerful tool to detect replicating cells and are particularly popular for

• Cell proliferation studies; as they provide an accurate and comprehensive method to quantify the degree of DNA synthesis.
• The study of cell kinetics; in particular cell cycle interphase, via pulse labeling experiments.

As DNA denaturation is a critical step for procedures involving BrdU detection, you can rely on AbD Serotec’s technical expertize to provide detailed worksheets for optimizing this method. All our product datasheets can be downloaded from our website.

AbD Serotec’s anti-BrdU antibodies are part of the apoptosis-related antibodies section of the Cell Biology range.
