Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumor chunks (n = 30) were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight, instilled in
30% sucrose, and embedded in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) medium, snap
frozen, and sectioned at 5 µm (Leica CM 1860). Tissue sections were
permeabilized and blocked prior to antigen retrieval with citrate buffer.
Sections were incubated with CD80 (1:500, #8679; ProSci) or CD163 (1:500, #163M;
Cell Marque) primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, Alexa Fluor 594–conjugated
secondary antibody (Life Technologies) for 2 hours at room temperature, and
4′6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) nuclear stain for 10 minutes. Antifade
mounting medium was added before cover-slipping. Confocal images were obtained
for 3 different areas (Zeiss LSM 700 Microscope, 40× oil immersion lens).
Serum-treated sections were used as negative controls. After the minimum and
maximum threshold values were set to eliminate nonspecific staining and artifact
on ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health), expression levels for CD80
and CD163 were determined as percent area per region of interest on high-powered
field. Median values were compared between samples.

From specimens of ascending aorta that was ranging in length from 2 to 5 cm, the average three samples (from the bulge) were obtained, fixed in formalin for 24 hours, embedded in paraffin, and cut into 4.5 μm thick transversal step (step was 50 μm thick) serial sections. The sections were then stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Movat pentachrome [20 (link)]. The immunohistochemical staining was used to detect T killer – Tk cells (CD8; 1:50, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), T helper – Th cells (CD4; 1:20, Cell Marque), B cells (CD79a; 1:20, Dako Glostrup, Denmark), plasma cells (CD138,1:30, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages (CD68;1:50, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), and anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages (CD163; 1:40, Cell Marque) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Representative whole-section slides of the tumors were immunohistochemically stained for N-cadherin (1:100, mouse monoclonal; Zymed Laboratories Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA), neural cell adhesion molecule (1:100, mouse monoclonal; Leica Biosystems, Nussloch, Germany), S100 calcium-binding protein P (1:100, mouse monoclonal; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), CD3 (1:100, mouse polyclonal; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), CD4 (prediluted, mouse monoclonal; Dako), CD8 (prediluted, mouse monoclonal; Leica Biosystems), CD68 (1:300, mouse monoclonal; Dako), CD163 (1:50, mouse monoclonal; Cell Marque, Rocklin, CA, USA), FOXP3 (1:100, mouse monoclonal; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), C-reactive protein (rabbit monoclonal; Abcam), and programmed death-ligand 1 (mouse monoclonal; Dako) using an automated staining system (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The amount of immune cell infiltration was counted in 10 high-power field-equivalent area from microscopic images by QuPath software (University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK).15 (link) Alcian blue staining was also performed to evaluate the presence and extent of intra/extracellular mucin production.

Immune Cell Profiling in Liver Lesions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From a total of 53 patients with HCC with chronic HCV infection who underwent tumor resection at the University Medical Center of Cologne, different areas with cirrhosis, DNs, and hepatocellular carcinoma were studied by IHC. All immunostainings were conducted using the BOND MAX automated staining system (Leica Biosystems). Macrophages were stained with CD68 antibodies (Agilent Technologies, dilution 1:400) and tumor-associated macrophages with CD163 (Cell Marque, dilution 1:100). For IHC of B cells, CD20 antibodies (Agilent Technologies, dilution 1:1250) were used. For IHC of the T cell populations, a CD3 antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, dilution 1:50) and a CD8 antibody (Agilent Technologies, dilution 1:200) were used. Images were acquired using the Olympus DP74 camera system and the cellSens standard software (Olympus). Immunostained cells were counted in representative areas between 0.1–0.7 mm2 by means of the Image J (NIH) cell counter plugin tool (https://biii.eu/cell-counter-imagej) and expressed as cell numbers per mm2. A Kruskal-Wallis test was used to assess statistical significance.

Immunohistochemistry was performed as described previously (32 (link), 33 ) on 4-mm tissue microarrays sections using a standard avidin–biotin immunoperoxidase method with antibodies specific for CD163 (Cell Marque, prediluted), FOXP3 (Abcam, dilution 1:200), PD-L1 (Cell Signaling, dilution 1:600), and MCT4 (Santa Cruz, dilution 1:250). All stains were validated using recommended tissue controls, and evaluated for correct compartment specific staining by pathologists with experience in evaluating the indicated markers. Staining was performed on either a Dako or Ventana Benchmark automated immunohistochemical stainers.

Hematoxylin staining and evaluation of the tissue architecture was used to define the stromal type. The TMAs were stained with the following antibodies: PD-L1 (Cell Signaling, dilution 1:600), CD163 (Cell Marque, prediluted), FOXP3 (Abcam, dilution 1:200), CD8 (). The tissues were also stained for CA9 indicative of hypoxia antibody (Cell Marque, dilution of 1:500). MCT4 was employed as a marker of glycolytic preference (Santa Cruz, dilution 1:250). Expression of IHC markers was categorized semi-quantitatively using published criteria. Stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were assessed based on criteria developed by Denkert and colleagues (30 ).

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.
