Mouse anti Bromodeoxyuridine antibody, clone Bu20a (MCA2483) used to label DNA synthesis in cultured mouse astrocytes by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
Astrocyte response to injury involves proliferation which is attenuated by TTX and KB-R7943. (a) GFAP positive cultured rat cortical astrocytes (green) exhibit BrdU immunolabelling (red), seen in resting cells (top row) and scratched cells (second row). There is an increase in BrdU-positive cells along the edge of a scratch, which is attenuated with TTX and KB-R7943 treatment (third and fourth rows, respectively). Scale bar 200 μm. (b) After 24 h, there was a significant 77 ± 9% increase in proliferation amongst cells along the edge of a wound (n=7) compared to cells in unscratched cultures (n=8), as measured by BrdU staining. Compared to untreated cells, TTX decreased proliferation by 54 ± 4%, while KB-R7943 decreased proliferation by 46 ± 9%. *p<0.05; n.s., not significant.

Mouse anti Bromodeoxiuridine antibody, clone Bu20a (MCA2483) used for the identification of cells containing newly synthesized DNA in mouse brain and intestinal tissue sections by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
Staining of mouse brain and intestine sections using MCA2483. A-C: A bright staining in the cell nuclei of individual cells scattered across the brain is present, especially in the hippocampus, ventricular wall (A) and sub-cortical areas at the border between the gray and white matters (B-C). Some positive cells are clearly M-phase cells (C). Abbreviations: GM = gray matter; LV = lateral ventricle; WM = white matter. DE: positive control staining in the intestine (duodenum). BrdU+ proliferating cells are clearly detected in the germinal layer of the intestinal epithelium, at the basis of the duodenal villi.

Mouse anti BrdU antibody, clone Bu20a recognizes bromodeoxyuridine (known as BrdU or BrdUrd). BrdU is a synthetic thymidine analog, which is incorporated to new DNA during replication instead of thymidine. BrdU can therefore be used to identify newly synthesized DNA. Mouse anti BrdU antibody, clone Bu20a, recognizes BrdU and other thymidine analogs; 5′-chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU), 5′-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IdU) and 2′-deoxy-5-ethynyluridine (EdU), but only shows minimal reactivity with thymidine itself (Aten et al. 1992, Liboska et al. 2012, Magaud et al. 1989).
Antibody detection of incorporated BrdU in cellular DNA is extensively referenced as an accurate method to monitor cell proliferation in vivo and in vitro. In cell proliferation assays BrdU staining is coupled with the use of a dye that binds total DNA such as propidium iodide (PI). BrdU can be administered diluted in the culture medium or, in vivo via intraperitoneal injection, subcutaneous osmotic pump implants (Tesfaiqzi et al. 2004) or in drinking water (Moser et al. 2004).
BrdU can be used as a thymidine analog in a wide range of organisms ranging from mammalian cells, through reptiles and amphibians to invertebrate species and plants. Mouse anti BrdU antibody, clone Bu20a, is suitable for detecting incorporated BrdU in a wide variety of cell types and is suitable for use on tissue sections in double-labeling techniques (Makarev and Gorivodsky 2014).
