Application

The Cell Proliferation Kit is an ICC system for monitoring cell proliferation using monoclonal anti-5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) to detect BrdU incorporated into cellular DNA. The antibody contains a nuclease to produce single stranded DNA without the need for chemical denaturation. Cellular morphology is preserved allowing multiple labeling experiments to be carried out. The high-contrast stain produced has sensitivity comparable to autoradiographic methods.

Features and Benefits

Used in conjunction with RPN20, the reagent allows extended use of the kit where additional amounts of labeling reagent.are required, for example, for in vivo studies.
