Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent staining of paraffin-embedded sections was performed by using a Discovery XT processor (Ventana Medical Systems). Tissue sections were deparaffinized with EZPrep buffer (Ventana Medical Systems) and subjected to antigen retrieval with CC1 buffer (Ventana Medical Systems). Sections were blocked for 30 minutes with Background Buster solution (Innovex) and for 8 minutes with avidin-biotin blocking (Ventana Medical Systems). Sections were incubated with anti-AR (Abcam, ab133273 1 μg/mL); ITGB4 (Cell Signaling, cat# 14803, 0.5 μg/mL); Vimentin (Cell Signaling, cat# 5741, 0.5 μg/mL); and synaptophysin (Abcam, ab32127, 1 μg/mL) antibodies for 5 hours followed by biotinylated horse anti-rabbit antibodies (Vector Labs, cat# PK6101) at 1:200 dilution (for AR, ITGB4, Vimentin) or HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (PI-1000) antibodies at 1:250 dilution (for synaptophysin) for 60 minutes. Detection was performed with DAB detection kit (Ventana Medical Systems) according to manufacturer instruction. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted using Permount (Fisher Scientific).

Immunostaining of Regenerated Skin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sectioned tissue–derived regenerated human skin or normal adult human skin was fixed with 10% formalin solution (Sigma (St. Louis, MO) HT5012) for 12 minutes. Sections were blocked (PBS, 2% bovine serum albumin, 2.5% normal goat serum, and 0.3% Triton X-100) for 30 minutes. Primary antibodies were then added to blocking buffer and put onto sections for 1 hour. The following antibodies were used at the following concentrations: FLG at 1:200 (Abcam (Waltham, MA): ab3137), LOR at 1:400 (Abcam: ab198994), KI67 (Abcam: Ab16667) at 1:300, cleaved caspase-3 at 1:300 (Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA): 9661S), HNRNPL (Bethyl (Montgomery, TX): A303-895A) at 1:400, K10 (Abcam: ab9025) at 1:300, and ITGB4 (Cell Signaling Technology: 14803S) at 1:150. Secondary antibodies were used at 1:500 for 30 minutes and included Alexa Fluor 555 goat anti-mouse IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific: A21424) and Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Thermo Fisher Scientific: A21206). Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Fisher Scientific: H3570) was used at 1:1,000 to stain nuclei.

Quantifying Protein Abundance with Western Blot

Abundance of specific proteins was quantified using Western blot analysis as described (76 (link)) with the following primary antibodies: ABCG2 (Cell Signaling, 4477S, 1:250), SMAD4 (Santa Cruz, sc-7966, 1:500), phosphorylated SMAD3 (Cell Signaling, 9520S, 1:500), SMAD3 (Cell Signaling, 9523S, 1:500), fibronectin (Cell Signaling, 26836S, 1:500), SNAI1 (Cell Signaling, C15D3, 1:500), ITGB4 (Cell Signaling, 14803S, 1:500), INHBA (Abcam, ab56057, 1:500), and FST (Santa Cruz, sc365003, 1:500). The following secondary antibodies were utilized to detect bound primary antibodies: IRDye 680RD or 800CW goat anti-rabbit or mouse IgM, 1:5000, LI-COR, 926-32211, 926-68070, 926-68071. Images of Western blots probed with the fluorescent secondary antibody were collected with a LI-COR Odyssey Fc or CLx, and target proteins were quantified and normalized to total protein present. Total protein was ascertained utilizing REVERT staining. Total protein staining was used for normalization of Western blots aligning with reports demonstrating that total protein staining is a more accurate loading control than the use of housekeeping proteins (83 , 84 (link), 85 (link)). Western blots were quantified using Image studio v5.2.

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.
