Unstained slides from liver, spleen, uterus, and mesenteric lymph nodes were adhered to positively charged glass slides for immunohistochemistry. Slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated through a series of xylene and ethanol steps before antigen retrieval was performed using 1:10 EMS Solution A (Electron Microscopy Services) in a 2100 Antigen Retriever (Aptum Biologics Ltd.), according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by 10 m incubation with Bloxall Blocking Solution (Vector Laboratories) followed by 20 m blocking with normal goat serum (Vector). After each step slides were washed with PBS plus 0.5% tween for 5 minutes. Primary incubation was overnight at 4°C with Brucella polyclonal rabbit antibody (Bioss) at 1:400. Negative control tissues were incubated with rabbit nonimmune serum diluted in PBS. A Vectastain ABC and Betazoid DAB chromagen kits (Biocare Medical) were used following primary incubation according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The slides were counterstained with Meyer’s hematoxylin III.

To assess of histologic changes associated with vaccination, multiple tissues were collected at necropsy from moms, their offspring, and bucks (Table S1). Tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and were then routinely processed and embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 5 μm, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Histologic changes between groups were evaluated in a blinded fashion by a boarded veterinary anatomic pathologist. Unstained sections from placenta were adhered to positively charged glass slides for immunohistochemistry. Following deparaffinization and rehydration through a series of xylene and ethanol steps, antigen retrieval and blocking was performed as previously described [11 (link)]. Primary incubation was done overnight at 4° C with Brucella polyclonal rabbit antibody (Bioss, Boston, MA) at 1:2,000 ratio. Negative control tissues were incubated with rabbit nonimmune serum diluted in PBS. Vectastain ABC and Betazoid DAB chromogen kits (Biocare Medical, CA) were used following primary incubation according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The slides were counterstained with Meyer’s hematoxylin III.

Unstained slides from spleen, uterus, liver, and lung were adhered to positively charged glass slides for immunohistochemistry. Slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated through a series of xylene and ethanol steps before antigen retrieval was performed using 1:10 EMS Solution A (Electron Microscopy Services) in a 2100 Antigen Retriever (Aptum Biologics Ltd.), according to manufacturer protocol. Endogenous peroxidases were blocked by 10 m incubation with Bloxall Blocking Solution (Vector Laboratories) followed by 20 m blocking with normal goat serum (Vector). After each step slides were washed with PBS plus 0.5% tween for 5 minutes. Primary incubation was overnight at 4o C with Brucella polyclonal rabbit antibody (Bioss) at 1:600. Negative control tissues were incubated with rabbit nonimmune serum diluted in PBS. A Vectastain ABC and Betazoid DAB chromagen kits (Biocare Medical) were used following primary incubation according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The slides were counterstained with Meyer’s hematoxylin III.

Five micrometer tissue sections of testicle/epididymis (mouse and guinea pig) and prostate (guinea pig only) were adhered to positively charged glass slides for immunohistochemistry. Slides were routinely processed, and antigen retrieval was performed as previously described using a 2,100 Antigen Retriever (Aptum Biologics Ltd. Southampton, UK; Hensel et al., 2019 (link)). Slides were blocked as previously described with Bloxall Blocking Solution (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and normal goat serum (Vector Laboratories; Hensel et al., 2019 (link)). Primary incubation was performed overnight at 4o C with a Brucella polyclonal rabbit antibody (Bioss Antibodies, Boston, MA) at dilution of 1:500. A Vectastain Elite® ABC HRP Kit (Vector Laboratories) with an avidin/biotinylated anti-rabbit secondary antibody was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Antigen was visualized with a Betazoid DAB chromagen kit (Biocare Medical, Pachecho, CA). The slides were counterstained with Gills’s hematoxylin III and cover slipped.

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.
