IHC was performed on four micron-thick, FFPE sections. FFPE sections were deparaffinized using xylene and rehydrated in graded ethanol. Sections were heated with a pressure cooker to 125 °C for 30 s and 90 °C for 10 s in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for antigen retrieval. After quenching of endogenous peroxides with 3% H2O2 in methanol, all sections were blocked with 3% BSA for 60 min at room temperature. Sections were then incubated with anti-Ki67 (ab16667, 1:200), anti-pS240/244-S6 (CST#5364, 1:500) antibody overnight at 4 °C. Following primary antibody incubation, sections were incubated with monoclonal mouse anti-rabbit immunoglobulins for 60 min at room temperature. Afterwards, sections were developed using the DAB chromogen kit (Dako #K3468) and lightly counterstained with hematoxylin. The score of the IHC signals was judged by two independent pathologists blindly.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded 3-μm-thick kidney specimens were placed on ultra plus glass slides. After rehydration, the target antigen epitope heat retrieval was performed on the sections at pH 6 and 95°C for 20 minutes. After blocking endogenous peroxidase, the antigen was detected with the rabbit anti-SLC12A1 (2.5 μg/mL; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom, Cat. #ab191315, dilution 1:100) at 4°C overnight. The immunoreactivity was detected with a secondary antibody (Flex+Mouse Linker) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Both the first and the second antibodies were diluted with the DAKO antibody diluent containing background-reducing components (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA, USA). A DAB chromogen kit (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark) was used for visualization of immunoreactivity. The sections were counterstained with Mayer hematoxylin, cleared, mounted, and studied under the microscope. The negative control was performed without applying the primary antibody in 1 slide in each of the series of stained slides. Four high-power images of the outer medulla were obtained to measure the height of epithelial lining cells (n = 50 per kidney) of a thick ascending limb (TAL) of the loop of Henle.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks from 12 primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients were retrieved. One primary ccRCC was paired with a corresponding lung metastasis. Areas of primary tumors containing low (G1-G2) and high (G3-G4) Fuhrman nuclear grade (FNG) were selected for the analysis. Immunohistochemistry was performed on four micron-thick, FFPE tumor sections, which were initially deparaffinized, rehydrated and heated with a pressure cooker to 125°C for 30 seconds in citrate buffer for antigen retrieval and then incubated with peroxidase (Dako #S2003, Carpinteria, CA) and protein blocking reagents (Dako #X0909), respectively, for 5 minutes. Sections were then incubated with an anti-SPKH1 antibody (1:500, Abcam #ab16491) for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Dako EnVision+ System HRP labeled polymer anti-rabbit (Dako #K4011) for 30 minutes(26 (link),38 (link)). All sections were developed using the DAB chromogen kit (Dako K3468) for 2 minutes and then lightly counterstained with hematoxylin. A case was considered positive if any positivity in tumor cells was detected.

Detecting Human Glioblastoma Cells in Mouse Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect human glioblastoma cells in mouse brain, we used a 1:100 dilution of the mouse anti-vimentin antibody clone V9 (Dako, M0725), which has no cross-reactivity with mouse vimentin (Valadez et al., 2014 ). We also determined the levels of immune cells positive for CD3-Ɛ using a 1:10 dilution of Armenian Hamster anti-CD3-Ɛ antibody-FITC followed by a 1:100 dilution of the secondary mouse anti-FITC antibody (clone FL-D6, Cat# A1812, Sigma). The HiDefTM HRP-polymer system was used for detection (Cell Marque, Rocklin, CA). Endogenous peroxidase activity was eliminated with treatment under mild conditions as follows: 1.8% H2O2 for 5 min, 1% periodate for 5 min, and 0.02% NaBH4 for 2 min (Polak and Van Noorden, 2003 ). Signal detection was based on the Dako DAB chromogen kit according to the manufacturer's guidelines. We found that hot citric acid and slow cooling of the slide/citrate solution to room temperature (> 20 min) was the best method to retrieve the epitope, but lost epitope if we cooled quickly. The complete methodology can be found in Supplemental Experimental Procedure 1.

Liver Fibrosis Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were drop-fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Quentin Fallavier, France) immediately after collection and put through an automated carousel processor for dehydration, clearing and paraffin embedding (Leica, Nanterre, France). Liver sections (6 μm) were mounted on slides (DPX polymerizing mounting medium Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Quentin Fallavier, France) and stained with H&E and BODIPY. Fibrogenesis was assessed by red picrosirius staining (Red 80, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Quentin Fallavier, France).
For immunohistochemistry analysis, liver sections were quenched with 3% H2O2, washed with TBS + 0.1% (v/v) Tween-20, blocked with TBS + 3% (w/v) BSA and incubated with diluted primary antibody αSMA (ab124964, Abcam, Paris, France) and then with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Bio-Rad, Marnes-la-Coquette, France). Chromogenic detection was carried out using DAB chromogen kit (Dako, Saint Aubin, France). Nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin. Quantitative expression of all immunostainings was performed using positive pixels algorithm (Indica Labs, Corrales, NM). Results are expressed as percentage of positive pixels. The quantification method is an automated observer-independent process based on section scanning and application of publicly available algorithms. All images were acquired on an Axiovert 200 M microscope (Zeiss, Marly-le-Roi, France).

For AT8 immunostaining, antigen retrieval was performed by microwave heating of the sections in sodium citrate buffer (10 mM trisodium citrate, 0.5% Tween-20 in H2O, pH 6.0) for 10 min, followed by incubation with 3% H2O2 for 5 min to inhibit endogenous peroxidase activity. The sections were blocked with 2% goat serum in 1 × TBS with 0.25% Triton-X100 (TBS-X) for 30 min, followed by incubation with a biotinylated primary antibody in blocking buffer overnight at 4 °C. The sections were then labelled with a Dako HRP-linked goat anti-mouse IgG antibody for 1h at room temperature and developed with a Dako DAB chromogen kit. The staining images were captured using Leica DM4B microscope system.

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.
