Dear Dr. Wang,

Dear Dr. Wang,

The problem you are having labeling with pulsed BrdU and surface markers at
the same time is not unique to your laboratory. However, there is a
solution. I refer you a new methodology called SBIP ( Strand Break Induced
Photolysis). The methodology is outlined in the paper by Li, X.
Darzynkiewicz, Z: Labeling DNA strand breaks with BrdUTP. Detection of
apoptosis and cell proliferion, Cell Proliferation, 28, pp571-579, 1995.

Phoenix Flow Systems will be releasing a kit based on this methodolgy
August 15.
