Paraffin sections of formalin fixed kidneys were cut (1~2 μm) and incubated with anti-B220 (clone RA3-6B2, eBioscience Hatfield UK) or subjected to a heat-induced epitope retrieval step prior to incubation with primary antibody for CD3 (clone M-20, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas, USA), CD4 (clone 4SM95, eBioscience Hatfield UK) or MPO (polyclonal rabbit, Dako Denmark, Glostrup Denmark) followed by incubation with biotinylated rabbit anti-rat, rabbit anti-goat or donkey anti-rabbit (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany). For detection, sections were incubated with alkaline phosphatase (AP) labelled streptavidin (Dako Denmark, Glostrup Denmark). AP was visualized using Fast Red as chromogen (Dako Denmark, Glostrup Denmark). For detection of regulatory T cells, sections stained for CD4 were subjected to protein inactivation step prior to incubation with anti-Foxp3 (clone FJK-16s, eBioscience Hatfield UK). For detection, EnVision+ System- HRP Labelled Polymer Anti-Rabbit (Dako Denmark, Glostrup Denmark) was used. HRP was visualized with diaminobenzidine (Dako Denmark, Glostrup Denmark) as chromogen. Nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin and slides coverslipped with glycerol gelatine (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA). Negative controls were performed by omitting the primary antibody.

FACS data on apoptosis was further verified using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (Tdt)-mediated dUTP nick end-labelling (TUNEL) assay. The TUNEL technique was performed using the in situ cell death detection kit (Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Chamber slides were fixed with 4 % paraformaldehyde for 1 h, and 0.1 % Triton-100 in 0.1 % sodium citrate was added at 4 °C for 2 min. The slides were incubated with the TUNEL reaction mixture for 1 h at 37 °C. After washing, the slides were further incubated with alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-fluorescein antibody for 30 min at 37 °C. Slides were developed using Fast Red (DAKO, Carpenteria, CA, USA) and lightly counterstained with hematoxylin.TUNEL positive cells were observed under confocal microscopy. TUNEL-positive cells per field were counted in 5 random fields under 40× magnifications, and positive cell percentages were averaged.

The slide was carefully washed twice with PBS and incubated with secondary antibody (Rabbit Link, Biogenex) for 30 min, washed and developed with Fast Red (Dako). Nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin solution, then slides were mounted using Aquatex (Merck) and analyzed under light microscope.

The tissues were fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin for two weeks and embedded in paraffin. The samples were sectioned at 5 μM thickness and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histological analysis or processed for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of rickettsial antigen [19 (link)].
The sections were incubated at 54°C overnight, deparaffinized and hydrated. After that, they were blocked with Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit (Life Technologies, Frederick, MD) and treated with proteinase K (Dako, Carpinteria, CA), for antigen retrieval. The sections were incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti-R. conorii antibody (1:300 dilution, produced in-house) at room temperature for one hour, followed by biotinylated secondary anti-rabbit IgG (1:200 dilution, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA), streptavidin-AP (1:200, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) for 30 minutes each and Fast Red (Dako, Carpinteria, CA) for 5 minutes. The sections were washed twice with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween-20. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, mounted with Permount and examined with an Olympus BX51 microscope (Olympus Scientific, Waltham, MA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect viral distribution in tissues, IHC was performed on samples from rZJ1-IL2-, rZJ1-GFP, and mock-infected birds, as previously described [41 (link)]. Briefly, slides were deparaffinized, rehydrated, microwaved for 20 min at minimum power in Vector antigen unmasking solution (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and blocked with an universal blocking reagent (Biogenex, San Ramon, CA). The primary antibody (polyclonal) was raised in rabbit against a synthetic peptide (TAYETADESETRRIC), which is highly conserved in NDV nucleoprotein, and used at 1:8000 dilution [42 (link)]. The detection system was an avidin–biotin–alkaline phosphatase system (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) coupled with a naphthol-based chromogen (Fast Red, Dako, Carpinteria, CA). Sections were counterstained lightly with hematoxylin and coverslipped with Permount for a permanent record. The scoring system for assessment of immunolabeling for NDV NP was previously published [41 (link)], and is reported in the caption of Table 2. For IL-2, the same procedure was deployed; the chicken IL-2 antibody was a rabbit polyclonal (Kingfisher, Carlsbad, CA) used at 1:1000 dilution.

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.
