Eosin

Eosin, a red dye derived from fluorescein, is a widely used histological stain that highlights acidic cellular components.
It provides a vivid, contrasting counterpart to basic dyes like hematoxylin, enabling researchers to visualize and differentiate tissue structures.
Eosin is commonly utilized in the eosin-hematoxylin (H&E) staining procedure, a standard technique for examining cell morphology and identifying pathological changes.
Its ability to selectively bind to proteins, nucleic acids, and other acidic biomolecules makes eosin an indispensable tool in the fields of histology, cytology, and pathology.
Reseachers can expore a vast databse of eosin-related literature, pre-prints, and patents using PubCompare.ai's AI-driven platform, which helps identify the most reproducible and acurate eosin protocols and products to enhance their research.

Information on lymph node status, stage and tumour size was available from original histopathology reports for all studies. Expert breast cancer pathologists reviewed FFPE sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) from tumours with available material and scored histological tumour type, grade, tumour cellularity and lymphocytic infiltration.
Immunohistochemistry-based (IHC) scoring of ER status was, where available, used to classify ER−positive (ER+) and ER−negative (ER−) tumours. To confirm this classification for samples which had gene expression data available, we fit a two-component Gaussian mixture model to the expression levels of ESR1 using the mixtools package59 in R, and computed the probabilities of the samples belonging to the two distributions defined by the components. The distribution yielding the higher probability was selected to represent the ER status for each sample. Where the calls between the two systems differed, we used the expression-derived classification if the probability of belonging to the opposite distribution was at least 5 × higher than for the distribution described by IHC; this scheme was chosen so as to assign more weight to the IHC classification, as this is currently the clinical gold standard. We performed a similar analysis with ERBB2 expression levels to corroborate the IHC-based HER2 calls. For patients without expression data (n=416), we used the IHC scores to assign ER and HER2 status. Similarly, gene expression-based classification was used for samples without IHC data.

Brain autopsies were conducted at pre-determined sites across the US, with a mean postmortem interval of 8.3 (SD=8.0) hours. The cerebellar and cerebral hemispheres were cut coronally into 1cm slabs. Slabs not designated for freezing were fixed for at least 48–72 hours. Neuropathologic evaluations were performed at the Rush, blinded to clinical data, and reviewed by a board-certified neuropathologist, as reported elsewhere.16 (link),17 (link) A uniform examination included assessment for common vascular and neurodegenerative conditions in aging. Examination for cerebral infarcts documented age (acute/subacute/chronic), size, and location (side and region) of infarcts visible to the naked eye on fixed slabs.17 (link) All grossly visualized and suspected macroscopic infarcts were dissected for histologic confirmation. For analyses, chronic macroscopic infarcts were characterized as present or absent.17 (link)
A minimum of nine regions in one hemisphere were examined for microinfarcts on 6µm paraffin-embedded sections, stained with hematoxylin/eosin. We examined six cortical regions (midfrontal, middle temporal, entorhinal, hippocampal, inferior parietal, and anterior cingulate cortices), two subcortical regions (anterior basal ganglia, thalamus), and midbrain. Locations of microinfarcts were recorded. Because acute and subacute microinfarcts were unlikely to be related to dementia, we only considered chronic microinfarcts for this study. These included cavitated or incomplete infarcts, with few remaining macrophages and fibrillary gliosis. In primary analyses, each case was classified according to whether any chronic microinfarct was present. We created additional variables for secondary analyses. For quantity, we created a predictor with three levels: no (reference level), one, and multiple microinfarcts. For location, we created two variables: cortical (presence of any microinfarcts in any cortical region; reference = no cortical microinfarcts) and subcortical microinfarcts (presence of any microinfarcts in any subcortical region; reference = no subcortical microinfarcts). To investigate quantity and location simultaneously, we created four variables: one cortical microinfarct and multiple cortical microinfarcts (compared to no cortical microinfarcts), and one subcortical microinfarct and multiple subcortical microinfarcts (compared to no subcortical microinfarcts).
Each brain was examined for pathological markers of other common neurodegenerative conditions associated with dementia. AD pathology was assessed in fixed tissue which was paraffin embedded, cut into 6µm sections, and mounted on slides.17 (link) Using a modified Bielschowsky silver stain, we counted neuritic plaques, diffuse plaques, and neurofibrillary tangles. Counts were scaled separately in each region and averaged across regions to create summary scores of each markers for each subject. For analyses, we created a summary score of global AD pathology, by averaging the summary scores of the three markers.16 (link) Lewy body pathology was identified in 6µm sections of cortex and substantia nigra, using α-synuclein immunohistochemistry (Zymed, 1:100).18 (link) For analyses, Lewy body data was dichotomized as present (if identified in any brain region) vs. absent.

Fifteen LGGs (van Thuijl et al. 2014 (link)), two SCCs (Bhattacharya et al. 2011 (link)), and the breast cancer cell line BT474 were used to develop and illustrate the shallow WGS pipeline presented. All material used from LGG and SCC tumors was derived from FFPE archival samples. Patient consent was obtained for SCCs as published previously (Bhattacharya et al. 2011 (link)). LGG samples were collected from five Dutch hospitals (VU University Medical Center in Amsterdam, Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen, St. Elisabeth Hospital in Tilburg, and Isala Klinieken in Zwolle). Sample collection was approved by the Medical Ethics Committees of all five hospitals. Areas containing > 60% tumor cells were outlined on hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides, and 10 subsequent 10-μm sections were used for DNA isolations.
DNA from the LGG samples was isolated as previously described (van Essen and Ylstra 2012 (link)). DNA concentrations were measured with the Nanodrop 2000 (Fisher Scientific), and 500 ng was used as input for Shallow WGS laboratory preparation. DNA from the SCC samples was isolated as previously described (Bhattacharya et al. 2011 (link)), DNA concentrations were measured with the Qubit 2.0 fluorometer dsDNA BR Assay (Life Technologies), and 250 ng DNA used as input for shallow WGS laboratory preparation. The BT474 breast tumor cell line was cultured and DNA isolated as previously described (Krijgsman et al. 2013 ). DNA concentration was measured with the Qubit fluorometer and 250 ng used as input.

CGP was performed using the FoundationOne assay (Cambridge, MA, USA), as previously described in detail [55 (link), 56 (link)]. Briefly, the pathologic diagnosis of each case was confirmed by review of hematoxylin and eosin stained slides and all samples that advanced to DNA extraction contained a minimum of 20% tumor cells. Hybridization capture of exonic regions from 185, 236, 315, or 405 cancer-related genes and select introns from 19, 28, or 31 genes commonly rearranged in cancer was applied to ≥50 ng of DNA extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded clinical cancer specimens. These libraries were sequenced to high, uniform median coverage (>500×) and assessed for base substitutions, short insertions and deletions, copy number alterations, and gene fusions/rearrangements [55 (link)]. Data from all versions of the FoundationOne assay were used in the analysis. Hybridization capture baits for PMS2 are identical across all assay versions.

Authorizations for reporting these three cases were granted by the Eastern Ontario Regional Forensic Unit and the Laboratoire de Sciences Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale du Québec.
The sampling followed a relatively standardized protocol for all TBI cases: samples were collected from the cortex and underlying white matter of the pre-frontal gyrus, superior and middle frontal gyri, temporal pole, parietal and occipital lobes, deep frontal white matter, hippocampus, anterior and posterior corpus callosum with the cingula, lenticular nucleus, thalamus with the posterior limb of the internal capsule, midbrain, pons, medulla, cerebellar cortex and dentate nucleus. In some cases, gross pathology (e.g. contusions) mandated further sampling along with the dura and spinal cord if available. The number of available sections for these three cases was 26 for case1, and 24 for cases 2 and 3.
For the detection of ballooned neurons, all HE or HPS sections, including contusions, were screened at 200×.
Representative sections were stained with either hematoxylin–eosin (HE) or hematoxylin-phloxin-saffron (HPS). The following histochemical stains were used: iron, Luxol-periodic acid Schiff (Luxol-PAS) and Bielschowsky. The following antibodies were used for immunohistochemistry: glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (Leica, PA0026,ready to use), CD-68 (Leica, PA0073, ready to use), neurofilament 200 (NF200) (Leica, PA371, ready to use), beta-amyloid precursor-protein (β-APP) (Chemicon/Millipore, MAB348, 1/5000), αB-crystallin (EMD Millipore, MABN2552 1/1000), ubiquitin (Vector, 1/400), β-amyloid (Dako/Agilent, 1/100), tau protein (Thermo/Fisher, MN1020 1/2500), synaptophysin (Dako/Agilent, ready to use), TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) ((Protein Tech, 10,782-2AP, 1/50), fused in sarcoma binding protein (FUS) (Protein tech, 60,160–1-1 g, 1/100), and p62 (BD Transduc, 1/25). In our index cases, the following were used for the evaluation of TAI: β-APP, GFAP, CD68 and NF200; for the neurodegenerative changes: αB-crystallin, NF200, ubiquitin, tau protein, synaptophysin, TDP-43, FUS were used.
For the characterization of the ballooned neurons only, two cases of fronto-temporal lobar degeneration, FTLD-Tau, were used as controls. One was a female aged 72 who presented with speech difficulties followed by neurocognitive decline and eye movement abnormalities raising the possibility of Richardson’s disorder. The other was a male aged 67 who presented with a primary non-fluent aphasia progressing to fronto-temporal demαentia. In both cases, the morphological findings were characteristic of a corticobasal degeneration.

All procedures were approved by the local Animal Ethics Committee of Iwate University. The African lungfish P. aethiopicus and South American lungfish, L. paradoxa, were purchased from commercial suppliers. The fishes were anesthetized with tricaine methanesulfonate and euthanized by decapitation. Information pertaining to the animals is shown in Table 1. Juvenile and adult individuals of each lungfish were used. According to Mlewa and Green (2004) [29 (link)] and Jorgensen and Joss (2010) [30 ], P. aethiopicus individuals over 43 cm in body length (BL) reach sexual maturity. Thus, P. aethiopicus #1 (BL 50 cm) and L. paradoxa #1 (BL 65 cm) were regarded as adults, whereas P. aethiopicus #2–4 and L. paradoxa #3 (BL 35 cm or less) were regarded as juveniles [29 (link), 30 ]. Also, we confirmed during dissection whether they had functional genital organs or not.
