Immunohistochemical Staining Protocol

For immunohistochemical analyses, 4 μm-thick sections were obtained and deparaffinized in xylene and then hydrated in a graded series of alcohol. All cases with available tissue were stained using the corresponding antibodies. Primary antibodies included DOG1 (clone SP31, Spring Bioscience, USA; dilution 1 : 100) [17 (link)], calponin (clone CALP, DAKO, Denmark; dilution 1 : 300), SMMHC (M3558, DAKO, Denmark; dilution 1 : 200), and P63 (clone 4A4, DAKO, Denmark; dilution 1 : 100). Staining was then performed using the Envision system for 30 min at room temperature. Finally, samples were incubated with diaminobenzidine peroxidase substrate to give a brown stain, counter-stained with hematoxylin, and mounted with coverslips.

Immunohistochemical studies were performed on five-micrometer thick sections prepared from formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded tissue. Most of the immunohistochemistry was done at The Johns Hopkins Hospital, where the primary antibodies were: p16 (clone INK4a; MTM Laboratories, Heidelberg, Germany); p63 (clone 4A4; Cell Marque Corp., Rocklin, CA); p40 (clone Ab-1; Oncogene Research Products, Cambridge, MA), muscle specific actin (clone HHF35; Ventana; Phoenix, AZ); calponin (clone CALP; Dako, Carpinteria, CA); S100 (clone 4C4.9; Ventana); c-kit (clone YR145; Cell Marque); and AE1/AE3 (clone PCK26; Ventana). For a minority of cases, immunohistochemistry had been done at an outside institution and the reported results were recorded. As a surrogate marker for the presence of HPV, p16 immunostaining was regarded as positive only if staining was both nuclear and cytoplasmic, and present in ≥70% of the tumor 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.
