Cells were grown on glass coverslips in 24-well trays, and after 24 h cells were treated as required then incubated with 25 μM IdU for 20 min. Cells were then fixed in 3% buffered paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at room temperature, and DNA denatured via a 30 min incubation with 2.5M HCl. Indirect immunofluorescence was performed using an anti-mouse BrdU antibody (BD, clone 3D4, 1:250) that cross-reacts with IdU, an Alexa anti-mouse 488 secondary antibody (Invitrogen, 1:1000) and DAPI counterstaining.
