Method Study of BrdUrd incorporation (Bromodeoxyuridine) kinetics
Comments Abstract: "BrdUrd incorporation was used to determine the rate at which different cohorts of HSC entered the cell cycle over time. About 50% of LT-HSC incorporated BrdUrd by 6 days and >90% incorporated BrdUrd by 30 days." P.3124 left column 3rd paragraph: "[Investigators] analyzed the in vivo proliferation and cell cycle kinetics of C57BL/Ka-Thy 1.1 mouse KTSL−/lo and KTSL− HSC. Over 90% of LT-HSC entered the cell cycle at least once every 30 days, and by 6 months >99% of LT-HSC divided. The subsets of cells analyzed in this experiment included all HSC in this mouse strain (ref 18)."
