According to the manufacturer's instructions, paraffin-embedded tissue samples from consenting patients were incubated overnight using the following primary antibodies (1:50-100): SHMT2 (12762, Cell Signaling Technology), β-catenin (D10A8) XP (8480, Cell Signaling Technology). The IHC images were captured by a microscope (Olympus, USA). To get the relative expression (%) of the target protein, the measurement parameters collected by Image J included integral optical density (IOD), area and average optical density (AOD). The AOD represented the levels of specific protein per unit area.

Tissue lysates were prepared in Kontes tubes with disposable pestles using RIPA Buffer (Cell Signaling Technology) supplemented with phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride (Sigma), and protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Roche). The BCA protein assay (Thermo) was used to quantify protein concentrations. Equal amounts of protein (15–30 μg) were separated on 4–20% Tris Glycine SDS gels (BioRad) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (BioRad). Membranes were blocked for 30 minutes at room temperature with 5% milk in TBS supplemented with 0.1% Tween20 (TBST) then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C.

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.
