Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections were obtained from archival human tubular adenomas, pancreatic acinar cell carcinomas, ovarian serous carcinomas, and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas that had been surgically removed at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The diagnosis of these cancers was rendered based on established criteria by specialized pathologists (A. Maitra and R.A. Anders). Heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed in a steamer using citrate buffer (pH 6.0; Vector Laboratories) for 25 min followed by 30 min of cooling. Nonspecific binding was blocked for 30 min with 5% goat serum in TBST. Serial sections were then incubated with two primary antibodies—anti-YAP (1:150; Epitomics) and anti-β-catenin (1:500; Sigma)—overnight at 4°C. The signals were developed using the ABC kit purchased from Vector Laboratories according to the manufacturer's suggestions. Finally, sections were counterstained with Harris hematoxylin, subsequently rehydrated in distilled H2O and graded series of ethanol (70%, 95%, and 100%), and mounted.

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.
