Aggregates were harvested on d14 and d28, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 10μm thick frozen sections were prepared.
Sections were stained with dimethylmethylene blue (DMMB) (Sigma Aldrich) for glycosaminoglycans. Histochemical ALP staining was performed with an alkaline phosphatase kit (Sigma Aldrich) with neutral red as counterstain.
For immunohistochemistry mouse anti collagen type X (1:20, Quartett Immunodiagnostika und Biotechnologie GmbH) and mouse anti collagen type II (1:100, Calbiochem) antibodies were used and immunohistochemistry was carried out as follows: . After blocking of endogenous peptidases (3% H2O2/ 10% Methanol in PBS) for 30 minutes, antigen retrieval with pepsin digestion for 15 minutes at room temperature (RT) was performed. Then sections were incubated in blocking buffer (10% fetal bovine serum/10% goat serum in PBS) for 60 minutes at RT followed by incubation in an appropriate primary antibody in blocking buffer overnight at 4°C. For collagen type X staining additional hyaluronidase digestion for 60 minutes at RT was performed prior to blocking. Immunolabeling was detected with a biotinylated secondary antibody (1:100; Dianova), horseradish peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame) and metal enhanced diaminobenzidine as substrate (Sigma Aldrich).

All three groups of embryos were processed for immunofluorescence labeling. Embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS (Sigma) for 60 minutes, followed by permeabilization with 0.3% saponin (Sigma) in PBS with Triton-X100 (0.1%, Sigma, PBS-T) for 45 minutes. Then, the embryos were washed in PBS-T 0.1% for 3 times before they were blocked (30 minutes) with PBS-T 0.1% containing 5% normal rabbit serum (NRS, Linaris).
The Ti1-pioneer neurons were labeled with HRP antibodies that are able to detect a specific carbohydrate epitope expressed on the neuronal surface of insect neurons24 (link),25 (link). The antibody (goat-anti-HRP, Dianova) was diluted 1:2000 in blocking solution, containing PBS-T 0.1% and 5% NRS (Linaris). Next, the embryos were incubated with HRP antibodies over night at 4 °C.
Following the immunolabeling, preparations were washed three times for 10 minutes respectively, before they were incubated with the biotinylated secondary antibody (1:250, rabbit-anti-goat in blocking solution, Dianova) for one hour at room temperature (RT). After three additional washing steps for 10 minutes in PBS-T, the second antibody was detected by incubation for one hour at RT with Streptavidin-Cy3 (Sigma), diluted in PBS-T 0.1% (1:250).

Sections of human ovaries derived from a local collection at Anatomy III, Cell Biology (Munich, Germany) were used for immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemistry was performed with a rabbit antiserum raised against human DDC (Sigma-Aldrich) and the corresponding blocking peptide (Sigma-Aldrich). Tissue samples and immunohistochemistry were described previously [5 (link), 18 (link)]. In brief, after removal of paraffin, antigen retrieval and blocking of endogenous peroxidase activity, the tissue was incubated in 5 % appropriate serum, diluted in phosphate-buffered saline. Antiserum incubation was done overnight at 4 °C. The antiserum against human DDC was diluted 1:50. Afterwards, incubation with a biotinylated secondary antibody (1:500 dilution; Dianova, Hamburg, Germany) for 2 h at room temperature was performed. A Vectastain ABC Kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and a 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tablet set (Sigma-Aldrich) were used for the final staining procedure. Slides were covered with Entellan (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). For control purposes, incubation with antigen peptide pre-adsorbed antiserum was employed.

Immunohistochemistry for the Iba1 antigen as a marker for microglia and macrophages was performed following a well-established staining protocol [28] (link). Briefly, free-floating 1-in-12 section series were treated with 0.6% H2O2 to deactivate endogenous tissue peroxidases. After 30 min background blocking with PBS enriched with 3% donkey serum (PBS+), sections were incubated with primary anti-Iba1 (rabbit, 1∶1000, Wako) antibody overnight at 4°C. The next day, after washing with PBS and blocking with PBS+, sections were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody (anti-rabbit, 1∶250, dianova) for 2 h at room temperature (RT). ABC reagent (Vectastatin ABC Elite Kit, Vector Laboratories) was applied for 1 h. Finally, sections were incubated with Diaminobenzidine (DAB)/peroxidase (Sigma, Germany) in a solution containing 0.3% H2O2 and 0.01% nickel chloride for at least 5 min at RT. Sections were mounted on microscope slides and coverslipped for later quantification.

Murine femoral fracture sections were used for histological analysis. After standard processing, serial transverse 5-µm sections were cut and stained with hematoxylin/eosin for histological assessment. For immunohistochemistry with an antiserum against TFF3 [34 (link)], deparaffinized sections were pretreated with 0.05% trypsin for 60 min. The sections were then left to react with anti-human TFF3, serum (anti-rTFF3-1) [34 (link)] diluted 1:300, followed by incubation with biotinylated secondary antibodies (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany). Negative control sections were incubated with isotype normal mouse IgG (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Bound antibodies were visualized by exposure to a complex of avidin and biotinylated peroxidase H (Vectastain-Elite-ABC Kit, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). The sections were developed with AEC (3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole) (DAKO, Hamburg, Germany) and counterstained with hematoxylin.

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.
