Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded PCa tissues were cut into 4-μm-thick sections, deparaffinized with xylene, washed with gradient ethanol, and then rehydrated in double-distilled water. Soaking in 3% H2O2 for 15 min inhibited the activity of endogenous peroxidase. The slides were heated in citrate buffer to achieve antigen retrieval. The slides were washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and blocked with 10% goat serum. After incubation with an anti-TLR9 rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:200, ab37154, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) or an anti-VEGF-C rabbit polyclonal antibody (1:300, bs-1586R, BIOSS Antibodies, Beijing, China) at 4°C overnight, the sections were incubated with a biotin-labeled secondary antibody (1:200, ab205718, Abcam). Finally, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Liver tissue was used as a positive control for TLR9 staining, while colon cancer tissue was used for VEGF-C. PBS was used as a negative control.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Placental TLR9

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate TLR9 expression in placental tissues, IHC staining was performed. Placental tissue sections deparaffinized using xylene and a series of ethanol gradients (75%-100%). The sections were then immersed in a 0.01 M citrate solution, followed by thermal antigen repair. Endogenous enzyme activity was blocked using 1%periodate. The sections were incubated with a TLR9 antibody (1:200, Abcam, ab37154) overnight at 4°C, then co-incubated with a secondary antibody (1:100, Abiowell, AWS0003) for 30 min. Lastly, the sections were sealed with neutral gel and transferred under a microscope for observation and image acquisition (magnification 100× and 400×). The Image-Pro-Plus software was used to determine positive rates and the TLR9 expression levels.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of TLR9 in HCC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study enrolled patients with HCC from the Taipei Medical University Shuang-Ho Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan. The study was reviewed and approved by the hospital’s institutional review board (TMU-JIRB: 201302016). Collected samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin, with 5 μm thick sections cut from the paraffin blocks. Staining was performed using anti-TLR9 (1:5000; cat. no. ab37154, Abcam), followed by secondary antibody and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).

Immunofluorescent Staining of Paraffin-Embedded Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded tissues were deparaffinized and dehydrated using a graded ethanol series. Antigen retrieval was performed by boiling the slides in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 4 minutes. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by incubation with 3% H2O2 for 10 minutes, followed by washing in PBS. Sections were incubated in streptavidin-biotin blocking solution for 1 hour (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Sections were stained with the anti-IFN-α monoclonal antibody (E-7; Santa Cruz), anti-IFN-β monoclonal antibody (ab85803; Abcam) and anti-TLR9 monoclonal antibody (ab37154; Abcam). Alexa 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG and Alexa 594-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen) were then applied as secondary antibodies. 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Invitrogen) was used at a concentration of 300 nM for nuclear counterstaining. The resulting stained specimens were mounted in VectaShield Antifade Mounting Medium (CH-1000; Vector Laboratories). The slides were then observed under a fluorescence microscope (Leica).

3T3-L1 fibroblasts were differentiated into mature adipocytes as described previously. The shock-frozen sections were fixed with ice cold acetone (ROTH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for immunocytochemistry. Air-dried cells were incubated in PBS for rehydration. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 3% H 2 O 2 (ROTH). To avoid non-specific protein binding, cells were incubated in 10% bovine serum albumin (BSA, ROTH), 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Sigma-Aldrich) and 10% chicken serum (Sigma-Aldrich), followed by 3-h incubation in a moist chamber with rabbit anti-mouse TLR9 antibody (5 µg/mL in 1% BSA; ab37154; Abcam). Cells were then stained with peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (2.5 µg/mL in 1% BSA; P0448; DAKO) for 90 min. Color development with 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) at room temperature was stopped after microscopic examination. Rabbit isotype-matched IgG sera (ab27478; Abcam) served as an isotype control. Parallel experiments without primary antibody were carried out as negative controls.

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.
