Multiplex IHC for Immune Profiling of Tumor Biopsies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paired tumor biopsies were obtained at baseline and week 7 (after at least two doses of GVAX + IPI) in 6 patients on Arm A. A pathologist selected samples containing >30% tumor cellularity for 10-plex multiplex IHC. Multiplex IHC was conducted on 4 micron thick formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue sections mounted on slides as previously described(18 (link)). Iterative staining was achieved by washing and antibody stripping in heated citrate (HK080–9K BioGenex, Fremont, CA). Samples were restained sequentially with antibodies indicated (Supplementary Table S2, Supplementary Figure S2.A).
Whole-slide scans were obtained after each stain on Hamamatsu Scanner at 20x magnification. Digital image analysis consisted of three steps: 1) image coregistration using Cell Profiler 2 (Version 2.2.0, Broad Institute) with “coregistration 12 markers” pipeline, 2) visualization in ImageJ Version 2 (Java 1.8.0_172 (64-bit), NIH), and 3) quantitative image analysis of staining intensity was performed in three areas per FFPE tissue (≥6.25mm2) using Cell Profiler 2 with “cytometry 12 markers” pipeline and FlowFCS Express 6 Image Cytometry Version 6.06.022 (De Novo Software) (Supplementary Figure S2). Images were merged in Halo (version 2.0.1145.31, Indica labs) to identify immune subsets according to lineage markers described (Supplementary Table S3).

Immunohistochemical Identification of Macrophages and T-Cells

Macrophages/monocytes were revealed using an antigen retrieval procedure (#HK080‐9K; BioGenex Laboratories, San Ramon, CA), in which the coronal floating sections were heated at 80°C for 35 min in 10 mmol/L citrate solution (pH 6.0) and cooled to room temperature. Sections were then rinsed in distilled water, washed in 0.1 mol/L PB for 10 min and incubated in a blocking buffer (5% donkey serum) in 0.1 mol/L PB at room temperature for 1 h. They were then incubated overnight at 4°C with the blocking buffer containing a primary antibody: mouse monoclonal anti‐macrophages/monocytes (clone ED‐1; Millipore, Billerica, MA; MAB1435; 1/300) or mouse monoclonal anti‐T‐cell (clone 15‐6A1; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX; sc‐52711; 1/1000), then washed in PB three times and exposed to Alexa‐Fluor 488‐linked donkey anti‐mouse (#A21202; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) immunoglobulins diluted 1:200 with the blocking solution for 2 h at room temperature.
For the detection of rat IgG, coronal sections were incubated in the same blocking buffer for 1 h and then with Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti‐rat IgG (H+L) antibody (#A21208; Life Technologies) diluted 1:200 with the blocking solution for 2 h at room temperature.

Immunofluorescence Staining of CD90 and CD24

Protein expression was determined by immunofluoresence (IF) staining [7 (link)]. Briefly, the tissue specimens were placed in xylene twice for 20 minutes and hydrated in 100% ethanol, 95% ethanol, 75% ethanol, 5 minutes each and water for 3 minutes. Antigen retrieval was completed by boiling the sections in solution (BioGenex HK080-9K) for 15 minutes. Subsequently, these were blocked with 2% BSA in PBS containing 0.05% Tween (PBST) for 1 hour at room temperature and incubated with rabbit anti-human CD90 antibody (1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) or mouse anti-human CD24 antibody (1:150, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at 4°C overnight. The secondary antibodies of DyLight 488 anti-rabbit IgG (green) or DyLight 549 anti-mouse IgG (red, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) were used at 1:150 dilution and incubated in a dark place for 1 hour at room temperature. CD90 staining was visualized in green and CD24 in red. Staining with DAPI (blue, 1:4000 dilution) presented nuclei visualization. The sections were dehydrated in alcohol and xylene, then cover-slipped with TM mounting medium (Sigma, USA).

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.
