Histological Analysis of Cardiac Tissue

Hearts were sectioned in the coronal plane to expose the four chambers, the aorta and the pulmonary trunk. The defected present in the LV apex represents the location of the catheter that was inserted to decompress the left ventricle during Langendorff type B perfusion (LV vent). Following each experiment, the heart was transferred to 10% neutral buffered formalin and paraffin embedded within 48 h. Using a microtome, 5 μm sections were prepared and stained with H&E, Masson’s trichrome (muscle: red; nucleus: blue; green/blue: collagen), and labeled with rabbit monoclonal recombinant anti-CD31 primary antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and fluorescent tagged with goat antirabbit IgG H&L (AF-647) preadsorbed secondary antibody (Abcam). The sections were also labeled with Isolectin Griffonia simplicifolia AF-488 conjugate (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA) which binds d-galactosyl residues of galactose α−1,3 galactose (Gal α−1,3 Gal). Nuclei were labeled with 4′,6-diamidina-2-phenylindole (DAPI).

Histopathological Evaluation of Kidney Tissue

Following hypothermic perfusion, the kidneys were cut in the coronal plane to expose the cortex and medulla for gross imaging, transferred to 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin and paraffin embedded within 48 h. Using a microtome, 5 µm sections were acquired for Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E), Prussian blue and confocal microscopy. 40× magnification brightfield images were obtained (TissueScope LE, Huron Digital Pathology, St. Jacobs, Ontario). Sections were labelled with rabbit anti‐CD31 primary antibody (EPR17259, abcam, Cambridge, UK) and goat anti‐rabbit IgG H&L (AF‐647) secondary antibody (ab150083, abcam). The sections were also labelled with Isolectin Griffonia simplicifolia AF‐488 Conjugate (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) towards d‐galactosyl residues of Galactose α‐1,3 Galactose (Gal α‐1,3 Gal). Nuclei were labelled with 4’, 6‐diamidina‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI).

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.
