Hi

Has anyone successfully managed to stain cells with bromodeoxy uridine and iododeoxy
uridine antibodies and been able to distinguish between the two? Seems like it should
be possible although there is some cross-reactivity between antibodies. If so which
antibodies did you use and what blocking statagy if any did you use. We want to challenge
an animal with antigen in the preence of BRDU, let it rest up a while then re-challenge
with antigen in the presence of IRDU and see if the same cells respond. Can anyone
think of another way to do this without using radio isotopes?
Thanks for any suggestions.
