Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously described [21 (link)]. Tissue slides were incubated with anti-Piezo1 (1:200; Proteintech), anti-CD133 (1:200; Proteintech), or anti-CD44 (1:200; Proteintech) antibodies at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. The color was developed using the GTVision III Detection System/Mo&Rb Kit (Gene Tech). The widely accepted German semi-quantitative scoring system was used to assess the staining intensity and proportion of stained cells. Each specimen was assigned a score according to the intensity of staining (0, none; 1, weak; 2, moderate; 3, strong) and the proportion of stained cells (0, 0%; 1, 1–24%; 2, 25–49%; 3, 50–74%; 4, 75–100%). The final immune reactive score was determined by multiplying the intensity score by the percentage score, ranging from 0 to 12.

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.
