Paraffin sections (5μm) were stained with Periodic acid Schiff and Alcian Blue (PAS/AB) (Newcomer Supply) to visualize mucin-containing goblet cells. EdU-Click-it (Life Technologies) was used to evaluate proliferating cell number. Immunostaining with rat α-MMP7 (1:400, Vanderbilt Antibody and Protein Resource), rabbit α-MUC2 (1:200, Santa Cruz), rabbit α-CHGA (1:200, Abcam), rat α-PROM1 (1:100, eBioscience) and rabbit α-Ki67 (1:200, Thermo) was performed as described (Lopez-Diaz et al. 2006 (link)). For AB/CHGA co-staining, tissues were stained with α-CHGA (1:100, Abcam) and visualized with the DAB substrate kit (VectorLabs) per manufacturer’s instructions. Slides were then stained in AB for 30 minutes and counterstained in neutral red for 1 minute. Transgenic LGR5-GFP was directly imaged on frozen sections without antibody staining. Images were captured on a Nikon E800 microscope with Olympus DP controller software.

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.
