In reply to those who asked why the BU-1 clone in particular.
The commonly used antibromodeoxyuridine antibodies react only with
single stranded DNA which requires pretreatment with HCl for cleavage.
The BU-1 clone avoids denaturation of the DNA due to DNase activity.
This leaves cell morphology as well as surface or cytoplasmic markers
intact.
