IHC was performed as described previously (11 (link)). In brief, formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks of tissue were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Antigen was retrieved, and samples were blocked in 1.5% normal horse serum. A mouse monoclonal antibody against viral protein (VP) 1 from WUPyV (WU-VP1) (NN-Ab06) or an isotype-matched control antibody (mouse IgG2b; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA; no. 557351) was incubated overnight. After incubation with the biotinylated antimouse IgG secondary antibody (Vector BA-2000; Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA), slides were developed by using the Vectastain ABC kit (Vector Laboratories, Inc.; no. PK-6100) and DAB (Vector Laboratories, Inc.; no. SK-4100), counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, cleared, and mounted.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Small HSPs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To analyse the expression of small HSPs, paraffin sections were double labelled for HLA-DR and small HSPs. Deparaffinised, rehydrated and endogenous peroxidase-blocked slides were heated in a microwave oven for 10 min in 0.01 M citrate buffer (pH 6.0). After antigen retrieval, sections were allowed to cool to RT and rinsed in PBS. Subsequently, sections were incubated overnight at RT with primary antibodies directed to HLA-DR and HSPB1, HSPB6, HSPB8 or HSPB11 (Table 3). After the sections were rinsed, the relevant secondary antibodies [goat-anti-mouse-alkaline phosphatase (AF labelled (Southern Biotech, AL, USA) or goat-anti-rabbit EnVision+™ -HRP (Dako)] were applied for 1 h at RT. Cells labelled with HRP were visualised with DAB, whereupon slides were rinsed in Tris buffered saline (TBS) to detect AF-labelled cells with liquid permanent red substrate-chromogen (Dako). The sections were counterstained with haematoxylin prior to permanent mounting in Aquatex (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Negative controls were performed by eliminating the primary antibodies and by replacing the primary antibodies by appropriate isotype controls, viz. mouse IgG2b (BD Bioscience, Breda, the Netherlands) or rabbit IgG (Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mouse anti-human CD44 (mouse IgG2b, BD Pharmingen, CA, USA) and mouse anti-human CD24 (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA) primary antibodies were used. Immunostaining was performed using the diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate method (Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Before specific staining, unspecific antigenic sites were blocked with normal calf serum. Sections were then incubated with the respective primary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature (RT) followed by incubation with horse radish peroxidase single stain detection reagent (10 minutes at RT). Later, sections were washed with water for 5 minutes. Specific peroxidase activity was visualized with DAB working solution (contains DAB chromogen concentrate and DAB diluent). Counterstaining was performed with Mayers hematoxylin and eosin. A scoring scale of relative intensity of positive staining was used. A weak staining was given a score of 1, moderate staining was scored 2 and strong staining was given a score of 3. Assessment of the intensity of positive staining was performed across the entire sample in a blinded fashion upon light microscopy by two investigators and is given as the mean of both scores assessed.

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.
