Immunohistochemical Analysis of Gastric Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue specimens from clinical GC samples and xenograft tumors derived from GC cells were fixed with 10% neutralbuffered formalin, and 4-μm paraffin sections were prepared. After rehydration, sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histologic assessment, or were immunostained after antigen retrieval using a Bond-max automated immunostainer (Leica Microsystems, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK). The primary antibodies used were against FOXO1 (1:40, C29H4, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-FOXO1Ser256 (pFOXO1; 1:60, Cell Signaling Technology), CD31 (1:100, M20, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), HIF-1α (1:50, provided by Dr. Jong-Wan Park at Seoul National University), VEGF (1:200, C1, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and SIRT1 (1:100, H300, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Antibody binding was detected with the Bond Polymer Refine Detection Kit (Leica Microsystems). All immunostained sections were lightly counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. Throughout the above analysis, negative controls were prepared by omitting the primary antibody. The results of immunostaining were evaluated by two pathologists (Y.K. and J.-S.P.), who were blinded to the origin of the samples. For statistical analysis, the results of immunostaining for proteins were considered positive if immunoreactivity was seen in ≥ 10% (cytoplasmic pFOXO1 and nuclear SIRT1) or ≥ 5% (nuclear HIF-1α) of the neoplastic cells.

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.
