Free-floating sections were selected based on previous FISH labeling to provide verification of common protein marker identification. Sections selected for KChIP1 were rinsed in Phosphate Tris (PT, pH 7.2-7.4) buffer and Phosphate-Buffered Saline with 0.2% Triton (PBST, pH 7.2-7.4) respectively. They were then moved into a 0.5% H2O2 buffer for 10 minutes followed by a series of rinses before incubating in a 10% Normal Horse Serum (NHS, Vector, S-2000) solution for one hour. The tissue was transferred to primary antibody solution (NeuroMab, Anti-KChIP1, clone K55/7, 1:200) for overnight incubation at 4°C. The next day, sections were again serially rinsed in respective buffers and incubated in secondary antibody (Vector, Vectastain ABC, Peroxidase Kit, PK-4002, 1:200) for 30 minutes. Sections were again serially rinsed and placed into ABC (Vector, Vectastain ABC, Peroxidase Kit, PK-4002) buffer for one hour incubation before being rinsed. Tissue was placed in DAB substrate solution (3,3’-diaminobenzidine, Vector, SK-4100) until reacted. Following a final serial rinse, sections were mounted for imaging and analysis.

After fixation of liver and spleen specimens in 10% buffered neutral formalin for 72 h, the specimens were washed, dehydrated in graded series of alcohol and cleared in xylol, and then embedded in paraffin. Serial sections of 4-5-µm thickness were obtained and stained with hematoxylin and eosin [19 ]. Electric light microscope Olympus BH2 (Tokyo, Japan) was used for the histopathological examination of hematoxylin and eosin sections.
Expression of ACHE in paraffin sections of hepatic tissue of all groups was demonstrated immunohistochemically according to the method described by Hsu et al. [20 ] using avidin-biotin-peroxidase (3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride [DAB], Sigma Chemical Co.).
After incubation of liver sections with monoclonal antibody for ACHE (Dako Corp, Carpinteria, CA) and reagents of avidin-biotin-peroxidase method (Vectastain ABC Peroxidase Kit, Vector Laboratories), antigen-antibody complex was detected. The immunoreactive cells were visualized using chromagen DAB (Sigma Chemical Co.). Following examination, the intensity of immunohistochemical staining of ACHE was quantified in random five high microscopic fields as an optical density using image analysis software (Image J, 1.46a, NIH, USA).

Brains were removed, immersion-fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and then embedded in paraffin. Sections were cut at 8 µm, mounted on glass slides, deparaffinized, and then processed for immunohistochemistry or stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Endogenous tissue peroxidases were inhibited by incubating the slides in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (prepared in methanol) for 30 min. Sections to be stained with anti-PrP antibodies were subjected to hydrolytic autoclaving (121°C for 10 min in citrate buffer). Slides were then blocked with 10% (vol/vol) normal goat serum for 1 h and then incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4°C. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-GFAP rabbit polyclonal antibody Z0334 (Dako, 1∶500 dilution) to detect astrocytic gliosis, and anti-PrP antibodies 3F4 (1∶1,000 dilution) [83] (link) or HuM-D18 (1∶500 dilution) [84] (link) to detect PrPSc deposition. Bound antibody was detected using a Vectastain ABC peroxidase kit (Vector Laboratories) and visualized using 3-3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB). Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and then photographed using an AxioImager.A1 microscope (Carl Zeiss).

Histopathological Assessment of Skin and Tumor Tissues

Skin and tumor tissues were fixed for 24 h in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), processed into paraffin, sectioned into sagittal 3-µm sections and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome or toluidine blue prior to histopathological assessment. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed as described previously (51 (link)). Antibodies recognizing keratin-6 (Covance, Chantilly, VA), and F4/80 (AbD Serotec, Raleigh, NC) were used for staining. Epithelial cell proliferation was visualized by intraperitoneal injection of 10 µg/g of 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU), 2 h prior to euthanasia. BrdU incorporation was detected with a mouse anti-BrdU antibody (Accurate, Westbury, NY). Bound antibodies were visualized with the Vectastain ABC peroxidase kit as recommended by the manufacturer (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and developed with the addition of the 3,3’-diaminobenzidine substrate (Sigma, St Louis, MO). Slides were digitalized using a ScanScope (Aperio, Vista, CA) and the height of the epidermis (epithelial thickness), mast cell count per 105 µm2 and the number of BrdU positive basal cells (basal proliferation rates) were quantified.

After postfixation in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), brains were sectioned into 50-μm sections using a Leica VT1200S vibrating-blade microtome. Brains were then blocked and permeabilized in 10% normal goat serum and 1% Triton X-100 in 1× PBS for 1 h at room temperature.

Development of the stained tissues was carried out using the DAB staining kit (D7304) from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Slides were imaged by the UNC at Chapel Hill Translational Pathology Laboratory using the Aperio ScanScope XT system. Images were analyzed using the Aperio ImageScope software, and quantification was performed using ImageJ software.

Immunohistochemistry was performed as described previously (Seiler et al., 2016 (link)). The brains were cut at 30 μm on a cryostat (Leica CM 1900) and mounted on Superfrost slides (Thermo Scientific).

After PBS washes, sections were incubated for 2 h with the secondary biotinylated anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:200, Vector Laboratories) and the endogenous peroxidase blocked with a solution of 10% methanol and 3% hydrogen peroxide in PBS. Thereafter, the slides were incubated with an avidin-biotin-complex (7 μl/ml; Vectastain ABC-Peroxidase KIT, Vector Labs) for 1 h and specifically bound antibodies were visualized with a metal-enhanced 3,3′-diaminobenzidine substrate kit (Pierce, 34002, Life Technologies).

Sections from formalin fixed tissues in paraffin blocks were deparaffinised and rehydrated before microwave-assisted antigen retrieval in citric acid buffer at pH 6.0. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with CH3OH/H2O2 treatment and were blocked with 2% BSA in PBS. Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody diluted in 2% serum in PBS(7 (link)). We used the following primary antibodies: Lactoferrin (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, dilution 1:50), HMGB1 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, dilution 1:50), RAGE (AbD Serotec, Oxford, UK, dilution 1:1000), HSP70 (Biogenex, San Ramon, CA, dilution 1:50). Sections were then washed and incubated with the appropriate species-specific secondary antibody diluted 1:200 in 2% serum for 2 hours at room temperature. After further washing, antigen:antibody complexes were visualized using a Vectastain ABC peroxidase kit (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA). Antigen detection was enhanced with nickel-diaminobenzidine, followed by incubation with TRIS-cobalt. Slides were counterstained with Nuclear Fast Red for photomicroscopy.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
