A thymidine analog that is readily incorporated, following phosphorylation, into newly synthesized DNA in place of thymidine; can be detected immunologically in cells and tissues.

5-Chloro-2'-deoxyuridine (CldU) is a thymidine analog that is readily incorporated, following phosphorylation, into newly synthesized DNA in place of thymidine. 5-Chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU) is used as a thymidine analogue to study the miscoding potential of hypochlorous acid damage…
