The Use of Bromodeoxyuridine-Immunohistochemistry to Identify Transplanted Fetal Brain Tissue

The immunohistochemical detection of the thymidine analog, 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) is shown to be a useful and reliable method to positively identify fetal brain transplants in standard histological preparations. This technique offers several advantages over the [(3)H] thymidine autoradiograp...

Sumario:The immunohistochemical detection of the thymidine analog, 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) is shown to be a useful and reliable method to positively identify fetal brain transplants in standard histological preparations. This technique offers several advantages over the [(3)H] thymidine autoradiographic method, including being much more rapid and avoiding the use of radionuclides.
