The antibody reacts specifically with BrdU incorporated into DNA during S-phase of a cell cycle. The antibody reacts also specifically with 5-bromouridine (BrU).
Flow cytometry analysis of 5-bromodeoxyuridin (BrdU) incorporation in CEM human acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line using Anti-BrdU Antibody (A85813) (detection by Goat Anti-Mouse IgG1 Antibody FITC). The individual cell cycle phases (S-, G1-, G2/M-phase) are indicated in the figure.
