Protein samples were diluted with Laemmli buffer, separated on Criterion Stain-Free precast gels in a BioRad Mini PROTEAN Tetra-Cell unit and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes using a BioRad Trans Blot Turbo transfer. Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk in Tris buffered saline (pH 7.5) containing 0.1% Tween 20 (TBST) at room temperature for 1h. Then, membranes were incubated in 2% BSA with the relevant primary antibodies at 4°C overnight.

After incubation with the appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody in TBST at room temperature for 1 hour, enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents (Pierce) were used to detect interactions and digital images were acquired using the Molecular Imager ChemiDoc XRS System (Biorad). Signals were quantified using the Image Lab 4.1 software (BioRad) and normalized using the Total Protein Normalization (TPN) method provided by Stain Free technology.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of ERBB Receptors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Expression of ERBB1-4 receptor proteins was determined by IHC using commercial monoclonal antibodies EGFR (1:50, Santa Cruz), ERBB-2 (1:50, Santa Cruz), ERBB-3 (1:50, Santa Cruz) and ERBB-4 (1:50, Santa Cruz). The proliferation of tumor cells was detected by ki-67 IHC staining. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections, 4 μm thick, with representative tumor tissue, were incubated with primary antibodies after antigen retrieval by pressure autoclaving. An automatized histostainer was used for the immunohistochemcial procedures (Dako Autostainer, Denmark). For visualization of immunoreactivity, DAKO EnVision system was used with diaminobenzidin as chromogene. Sections were counterstained with haematoxylin. Positive controls were included in each staining run.
The immunoreactivity was assessed by means of intensity and percentage of immunoreactive tumor cells. Intensity was recorded as 0 (no reaction) to 3 (strong reaction). Fraction of immunoreactive tumor cells was recorded as 0 (no positive cells), 1 (<10% positive cells), 2 (10-50% positive cells), or 3 (>50% positive cells). A staining index was calculated as the product of intensity and fraction of positive tumor cells [15 ].

Brain tissues were homogenized in the sample lysis buffer (62.5 mM Tris-HCl pH 6.8, 2 % SDS, 0.5 % NP-40, 5 mM EDTA) plus the protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Protein samples (15-30 µg/lane) were separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Memb-ranes were probed with antibodies directed against phosphotyrosine (1:1000, Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA), ErbB4 (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Alter-natively, immunoblots were probed with antibodies directed against excitatory and inhibitory neuronal markers GluA1 (1:500, Millipore), GluA2/3 (1:1000, Millipore), GluA4 (1:1000, Millipore), GluN1 (1:1000, Millipore), GluN2A (1:500, Millipore), GluN2B (1: 500, Millipore), GluN2C (1:500, Millipore), GluN2D (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), GAD65/67 (1:1000, Millipore), parvalbumin (1:3000, Abcam, Cambridge UK), tyrosine hydroxylase (1:1000, Millipore) neuregulin-1 (1:300, RandD Systems, Minneapolis, MN), and β-actin (1:2000, Millipore). Immunoreactivity on membranes was detected by peroxidase-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibodies followed by chemiluminescence reaction (ECL kit, GE Healthcare) and film exposure. The intensity of an immunoreactive band, whose size matched the authentic molecular weight, was measured by an image processing software, GENETOOLS (Syngene, Cambridge, UK).

Five of 16 tumor samples, for which paired adjacent normal tissues were available, were used to perform WES. Five FFPE paired tumor and adjacent normal tissue blocks were cut into 4μm sections, which were deparaffinized in xylene and hydrated by immersion in a graded ethanol series. Antigen retrieval was performed in a microwave by placing sections in epitope retrieval solution (0.01 M citrate buffer, pH 6.0, or 10 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, pH 8.0) for 20 min, and endogenous peroxidase was blocked via immersion in 0.3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min. IHC staining was performed using the Dako Auto stainer plus Universal Staining System (Dako Cytomation, Carpinteria, CA, USA) with a Chem Mate DAKO En Vision detection kit (Dako Cytomation). Antibodies against chromogranin A (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark), synaptophysin (Ventana, Roche, Tucson, USA), Ki-67 (monoclonal, MIB-1 clone, 1:50, DAKO), and ERBB4 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) were used.

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.
