The tumor tissues were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, and processed for immunohistochemical examination of tumor blood vessels, apoptosis (TUNEL) and immune cells. To prevent nonspecific binding of antibodies, tumor slides were blocked with the protein blocking buffer containing 4% FBS, 1% normal goat serum, and 0.01% Tween-20 in PBS for 1 h at 4 °C. For TUNEL analysis, the procedure was according to Colorimetric TUNEL Apoptosis Assay (Beyotime, China). For other detection, the slides were subsequently incubated with anti-mouse CD31 antibody (Abcam) or FITC-conjugated anti-mouse F4/80 and PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD86 or PE-conjugated anti-mouse CD206 antibodies (eBioscience, CA, USA), PE-conjugated SIINFEKL/H-2Kb peptide-MHC tetramers (Creative peptides, USA) at 4 °C. After being washed thoroughly with PBS, the slides were stained with Hoechst 33342 to identify the loci of cell nuclei. Images were captured with the microscope and CLSM. The percentage of CD31 positive area was obtained from the ratio of the CD31 positive area to the total cell area. The above experiments are provided by Servicebio Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China).

Immunohistochemical staining for IGFBP-5 was carried out on 4-μm formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. After antigen retrieval in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.5) in a microwave followed by blocking with an Avidin/biotin blocking kit (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA, USA), tissue slides were stained with anti-IGFBP-5 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, Dallas, TX, USA) and biotinylated anti-mouse secondary antibody (DAKO, Denmark). IGFBP-5 was detected with avidin-conjugated HRP (DAKO) and images were scanned with a Scan Scope (Aperio, Heidelberger, Germany). To quantify angiogenesis, microvessel density was determined by counting CD31-positive vessels as described previously46 (link). In brief, 8-μm thick sections of fresh-frozen tumor samples were fixed and incubated with anti-mouse CD31 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4 °C overnight. CD31 staining was detected with an Envision detection system (DAKO).

OCT (Sakura Finetek, Tokyo, Japan)‐embedded tissue cryosections (9‐µm thick) were fixed at −20°C in methanol/acetone (3:1), blocked using 1% bovine serum and stained with primary antibodies anti‐mouse ICAM‐1, ICAM‐2, vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM)‐1 antibodies (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and anti‐mouse CD31 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom). Images of at least five consecutive fields (unit area of each field, .34 mm2) were captured by observers blinded to sample identity. Identical exposure times and image settings were used within each experiment. Images were analysed with ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD) for the determination of the relative fluorescence staining intensity; regions of interest were defined based on CD31 fluorescence, and each pixel in identified regions was assigned a fluorescence intensity value (based on a scale from 0 to 255).

To avoid skin contraction, complete wound specimens and the normal skin tissue within 2–3 mm around the wounds were collected on days 3 and 21 post-operation. The skin tissues were fixed overnight by 4% polyoxymethylene and then dehydrated by 20% sucrose. After embedding in optimal cutting temperature compound and freezing in liquid nitrogen, the specimens were cut into 5-μm sections for immunostaining. After blocking with 5% BSA, skin sections were incubated with a mouse anti-CD31 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) or anti-CD68 antibody (Abcam), followed by a goat anti-mouse IgG-FITC secondary antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Texas, USA). The nuclei were stained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO USA). Images were analyzed using fluorescent microscopy.

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.
