Histological and Immunohistochemical Analysis of Gastrocnemius Muscle

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For H&E staining, gastrocnemius muscles were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight and sent to Servicebio Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China) for slicing up and H&E staining.
For immunohistochemistry, the sections of gastrocnemius muscle tissues were stained by using an SP-POD kit (SP0041, Solarbio, Beijing, China). The primary antibodies were anti-MYH1 (GTX17458; Genetex, Irvine, CA, USA; 1:400) and anti-MYH7 (S58; DHSB, Iowa City, IA, USA; 1:100).

Skeletal Muscle Fiber Typing Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For H&E staining, gastrocnemius muscle tissues were immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then embedded in paraffin and cut into 4-μm-thick transverse sections. Subsequently, the sections were stained with H&E.
Myosin-ATPase staining was carried out using an ATPase staining solution kit (G2380, Solarbio, Beijing, China), following the manufacturer’s instructions. Myosin-ATPase staining was performed at pH 10.4. Under these alkaline conditions, MyHC I isoforms were inactivated while MyHC IIb isoforms were still functional, resulting in addition of black dye to MyHC IIb-positive muscle fibers.
An SP-POD kit (SP0041, Solarbio, Beijing, China) was used for immunohistochemistry as recommended by the supplier. The primary antibodies included anti-MYH1 (F59, 1:100, DHSB) and anti-MYH7 (S58, 1:300, DHSB) and were used for labeling the signals.

Immunofluorescence was performed using anti-MyHC (B103; DHSB, USA; 2.5 mg/mL), and images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (DMi8; Leica, Germany). The area of cells labeled with anti-MyHC was measured and calculated as previously described [20 (link)].
Immunohistochemistry was carried out using an SP-POD Kit (SP0041; Solarbio, China) with primary antibodies including anti-MYH1A (F59, DSHB, 1:100) and anti-MYH7B (S58, DSHB, 1:300). The number of myofibers labeled with anti-MYH1A or anti-MYH7B was calculated.
Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed using muscle tissues embedded in paraffin and cut into 4-mm-thick transverse sections. Subsequently, the sections were stained with H&E.

Neurofilament Immunostaining in Optic Nerve

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cryosections of the optic nerve were performed using the same methods as for immunofluorescence. Then fixed sections were treated with 0.1% Triton X-100 and 0.6% hydrogen peroxide. Immunohistochemical staining was performed according to the standard procedure of the SP-POD Kit (Solarbio Life Science, Beijing, China; SP0021) instructions. The primary antibody used in this work is anti–neurofilament heavy peptide (NF-H) (Abcam, ab40796). Three sections of each optic nerve were randomly selected for immunostaining. The image of the proximal segment of the optic nerve at the edge of the injured site was captured by an Olympus optical microscope. The NF-H+ area and the tissue area were measured by Fiji software at a fixed threshold. The results of the three sections were averaged to obtain the NF-H+ area and the tissue area for each optic nerve. The percentage of NF-H+ area was determined by the following formula: (the NF–H+ area)/(the tissue area) × 100.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of NEK7 in Pancreatic Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were sliced to sections of 4 μm. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with methanol containing 0.3% hydrogen peroxidase. Antigen retrieval was performed by boiling in a microwave oven (citrate buffer, pH 6.0), as described before (29 (link)). Sections were incubated with antibody targeting NEK7, goat anti-NEK7(ab166776, Abcam) overnight at 4°C and stained with second antibody by using an SP-POD Kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (#SP0041, Solarbio, China). Since there were no notable differences in NEK7 staining intensity, we evaluated the ratio of NEK7-positive pancreatic cancer cells. We counted the number of NEK7-positive cells among pancreatic cancer cells in at least 5 fields per section at 200× magnification. Samples were divided into NEK7-positive and NEK7-negative groups; NEK7-positivity was determined when the percent of NEK7-positive pancreatic cancer cells was greater than 5%. We investigated the correlation with NEK7-positivity with survival time, disease-free survival and clinicopathologic factors.

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.
