Tissue samples were fixed with 10% formaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and cut into 4-μm-thick sections. Sections were deparaffinized in xylene and then rehydrated by alcohol series. To examine the histology, sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). For immunohistochemistry, sections were first treated with 3% H2O2 to block the endogenous peroxidase, then incubated with IHC protein block solution (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA). Sections were then reacted with primary antibody at 4°C for overnight, then sequentially reacted with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (DAKO). After washing, sections were incubated with diaminobenzidine tetrachloride solution and counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. For double immunofluorescence staining, sections were incubated with primary antibodies, then incubated with fluorescence-conjugated secondary antibodies (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Immunofluorescence signal was detected under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
