Measuring Cell Cycle Progression Kinetics with Metabolic Labeling and Flow Cytometry
Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of British Columbia
Tracking subtle changes in the progression and kinetics of cell cycle stages can be accomplished by use of a combination of metabolic labeling of nucleic acids with BrdU and total genomic DNA staining via Propidium Iodide. This method avoids the need of chemical synchronization of cycling cells, thereby preventing the introduction of non-specific DNA damage, which in turn affects cell cycle progression.
