Use of the Pyrimidine Analog, 5-Iodo-2′-Deoxyuridine (IdU) with Cell Cycle Markers to Establish Cell Cycle Phases in a Mass Cytometry Platform

This protocol adapts cell cycle measurements for use in a mass cytometry platform. With the multi-parameter capabilities of mass cytometry, direct measurement of iodine incorporation allows identification of cells in S-phase while intracellular cycling markers enable characterization of each cell cycle state in a range of experimental conditions.
