• Note: 5-chloro-2'-deoxyuridine (ClDU), 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (IdU) and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) are nucleoside analogs of thymidine. Cells that treated with these analogs will incorporate the chemicals into the genomic DNA during S-phase. Immunochemical method detection of these analogs is thus used to quantify the cell proliferation, cell cycle status in vitro or in vivo. Since the thymidine analogs can be passed onto the daughter cells, they can also used to trace dividing cell fate in a short period of time over 3 generations. In addition, combination of different analogs and their specific antibodies can be used to trace cell fate in different time frames.
