IfParent cell in G 1 phasemonoclonal antibodies directed againstBrdU64. The use of BrdU for such proliferation assays circumvents the disadvantages associated with the radioactive compound [3H]-TdR.The first report of this technique involvedthe extraction and partial purification ofDNA from BrdU-labeled proliferatingcells, followed by an enzyme immunoassayin a separate assay71.

Traditionally, those assays involvethe use of radiolabeled nucleosides, particularly tritiated thymidine ([3H]-TdR).The amount of [3H]-TdR incorporatedinto the cellular DNA is quantitated by liquid scintillation counting (LSC)63, 70.Experiments have shown that the thymidine analogue 5-bromo-2’-deoxy-uridine(BrdU) is incorporated into cellular DNAlike thymidine (Figure 52). The incorporated BrdU could be detected by a quantitative cellular enzyme immunoassay usingwas relatively laborious, the entire BrdUbased procedure was adapted to a 96 wellMTP72.
This adaptation required no harvesting of the cells; the complete assay fromthe start of the microculture to data analysis by an ELISA plate reader was performed in the same MTP (Figure 53).2Figure 52: Molecular structure ofthymidine and BrdU.

The BrdULabeling and Detection Kit III is a firstgeneration assay. The colorimetric and chemiluminescence Cell Proliferation ELISAs,are second generation assays that offerfewer steps, a faster assay, and greater sensitivity than the first generation assay(Table 15).

Thesame assay procedure has been optimizedand improved in the second generation CellProliferation ELISA, BrdU (colorimetric)kit (see Table 17).2Sensitivity: The BrdU Labeling and Detection Kit III is almost as sensitive as the[3H]-thymidine-based cell proliferation assay. The ability to detect a minimum number of proliferating cells in a certain samplestrongly depends on the amount of BrdUincorporated into the cells and thus on thelabeling period. In most cases, detection requires a labeling period of 2 to 4 h.Specificity: The antibody conjugate (AntiBrdU-POD, Fab fragments) will bind toBrdU-labeled DNA after the DNA is denatured. The antibody specifically recognizes 5-bromo-2’-deoxyuridine; it showsno cross-reactivity with any endogenouscellular components such as thymidine oruridine.F Flow Chart 18: Assay procedure, BrdU Labeling andDetection Kit III.79Methods for studying cell proliferation and viability in cell populationsAssays that measure DNA synthesisCan be used to assay:P Adherent cells as well as cells cultured insuspension in 96-well microtiter plates(e.g.

They offer a nonradioactive alternative to the [3H]-thymidine-based cellproliferation assay with comparable sensitivity.Test principle: The assay is a cellular immunoassay which uses a mouse monoclonal antibody directed against BrdU. Theprocedure (Figure 55, Flow Chart 19) involves:1Culturing the cells in a 96-well microtiterplate and pulse-labeling them withBrdU. Only proliferating cells incorporate BrdU into their DNA.2Fixing the cells with FixDenat solution.This FixDenat solution also denaturesthe genomic DNA, exposing the incorporated BrdU to immunodetection.3Locating the BrdU label in the DNAwith a peroxidase-conjugated antiBrdU antibody (anti-BrdU-POD).4Quantitating the bound anti-BrdUPOD with a peroxidase substrate. TMBis used as a substrate in the Cell Proliferation, BrdU (colorimetric). Luminol/4-iodophenol is used as a substrate inthe Cell Proliferation, BrdU (chemiluminescence).Cell Proliferation and ViabilityCat.
