After that, the membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies at 4°C overnight, washed in PBST thrice for 10 min each time, and incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody. The dilution ratio was determined as recommended. Protein levels were measured using the Image-Pro Plus system version 6.0. Band intensity was quantified using the ImageJ software version 1.34. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded primary melanoma tumor biopsies were processed in the BondRX for OPAL staining (Perkin-Elmer, Waltham, MA) using the ER2 instrument protocol for 20 min at 100°C with Epitope Retrieval Solution (pH 6 EDTA-based retrieval solution) followed by probing with rabbit anti-EOMES-Ac, anti-EOMES-Me2, or pan-cytokeratin (Ab9377; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and mouse host CD8 (provided by the Opal kit) antibodies and visualized with Opal kit 520, 570, 650, and 690. Coverslips were mounted on glass microscope slides with ProLong Clear Antifade reagent (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). The 7-color Automation kit (NEL801001KT), 7-color Immune Discovery kit (OP7DS2001KT), 4-color Automation kit (NEL820001KT), and Opal 4 Lymphocyte kit (OP4LY2001KT) were used.

(Figure S1A) Patient-derived PDAC-3 and CAF-1 cells were co-cultured in chambered slides (Millicell® EZ slide Cat.No: PEZGS0416) and immunostained using a primary-secondary approach. Cell were washed three times with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 5 min, washed 3 times with PBS for 5 min each, blocked with 5% normal goat serum in PBS per 30 min, permeabilized with 0.3% TWEEN 20 for 5 min, and stained primary antibodies were rabbit anti-wide spectrum cytokeratin (1:50, Abcam ab9377) and mouse anti-actin a-smooth muscle actin (1:500, Sigma A2547). Secondary immunofluorescent-tagged antibodies were used for signal amplification. Goat antirabbit IgG Alexa Fluor 488 and goat anti-mouse IgG 594 were used for secondary amplification. Nuclei were then counterstained with nuclear 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and the slides were rinsed with PBS, cover slipped and stored at 4°C. Fluorescence images were acquired using a stan dard up-right fluorescent microscope (Nikon 90-I eclipse). GFP and mCherry protein was detected in PDAC-3 and CAF-1 cells, respectively, in co-culture in chambered slides.

Paraffin embedded tissue blocks were prepared, sectioned, and stained using standard immunohistochemical techniques by the Sanford Molecular Pathology Core. Briefly, paraffin embedded tissues were sectioned to 5 μm and stained on a BenchMark® XT automated slide stainer (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc). Ventana iView DAB detection kit and counterstaining with hematoxylin were used for visualization. Staining for pan-cytokeratin (ab9377, Abcam), E-cadherin (#3195, Cell Signaling), P16 (MA5-17093, Thermo and #10883-1-AP, ProteinTech), BRCA2 (HPA026815, Sigma), and EGFR (ab2430, Abcam) were used to visualize tumors of epithelial origin; exclusion of primary antibody served as the negative control.

Tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated as mentioned earlier. Then sections were placed in 3% H2O2 for 15 min to remove the endogenous enzymes and washed three times in PBS for 5 min at room temperature. Next, 50 μl trypsin was added to each sample, and the antigen was repaired in 37°C incubators for 30 min. After being washed in PBS 3 times, the sections were blocked with 5% BSA for 30 min at 37°C. Subsequently, the slides were exposed to anti-wide spectrum cytokeratin (1:200, ab9377, Abcam) primary antibody at 4°C overnight. After being rinsed with PBS for three times, the sections were incubated with secondary antibodies (1:1000, ab150077, Abcam) for 1 h at 37°C and further developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) solution. Finally, sections were counterstained with hematoxylin for 2 min, followed by 3 min in PBS to reduce the background staining. Positive staining was indicated by brown color, which can be observed under a Nikon confocal laser microscope (A1 PLUS, Nikon 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.
