Quantifying Pericyte and Fibroblast Populations

Histological slides were scanned using Nanozoomer 2.0 HT scanner with a 40× objective and visualized with NDP.view2 viewing software (Hamamatsu). Fluorescent images were acquired on a brightfield microscope (Leica) using Metamorph software, inverted Confocal SP5 (Leica) using the Leica LAS AF software, or an Andor Dragonfly Spinning Disk Confocal microscope employing Imaris software. Quantification of PC and vimentinpositive fibroblasts was done on at least five random fields (about 1 mm2 each) per sample using Imaris and ImageJ software. Images were processed with ImageJ. Images were assembled and adjusted with Adobe Photoshop/ Illustrator. Counting of PC was performed using z‐stack acquisition. Co‐staining with cell markers was confirmed on distinct layers. In analyses of human biopsies, PC numbers were calculated either per mm2 or per Vimentin‐stained area using an arbitrary unit (AU corresponding to 10,000 square pixel) of vimentinpositive cells.

Histological slides were scanned using the Nanozoomer 2.0 HT scanner with a ×40 objective, and visualized with the NDP.view2 software (Hamamatsu). Fluorescent images were acquired with Axioscan using ZEN software (Zeiss), brightfield Axioimager Z1 (Zeiss) using the Metamorph software or on the inverted Confocal SP5 (Leica) using the Leica LAS AF software. Images were processed with Adobe Photoshop CS6.

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.
