Several techniques are used to measure cell proliferation, including:
BrdU incorporation: This method involves incorporating a thymidine analog into newly synthesized DNA, which can then be detected. Ki-67 staining: Ki-67 is a protein expressed in proliferating cells, and its presence can be detected using immunohistochemistry. Flow cytometry: This technique can analyze cell cycle phases and proliferation rates by measuring DNA content. Thymidine analog incorporation: Similar to BrdU, this method uses other thymidine analogs to label newly synthesized DNA.
