BrdU

Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is a synthetic thymidine analog that gets incorporated into a cell's DNA when the cell is dividing (during the S-phase of the cell cycle).

Antibodies against BrdU that are conjugated to fluorescent markers can be used to label these cells, thereby providing visual evidence of cell division.
