Flow cytometric measurement of total DNA and incorporated halodeoxyuridine

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5546303
A method is described for the simultaneous measurement of total cellular DNA content and of incorporated halodeoxyuridine which consists of: reacting cells with radioactive labeled halodeoxyuridine; denaturing cellular DNA with a denaturing agent; adding to the reaction medium monoclonal antibodies reactive with halodeoxyuridine; reacting the bound monoclonal antibodies with a labeled second antibody; incubating the mixture with a DNA stain; and measuring simultaneously the intensity of the DNA stain as a measure of the total cellular DNA and the halodeoxyuridine incorporated as a measure of DNA synthesis.
