Quantifying CD45+ Cells in Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Where appropriate, a sample with no primary antibody was used as a negative control. Whole-slide images were generated using a Panoramic SCAN (3D Histech) and ImageDx was used to generate AI-powered quantitative data. CD45+ cells were identified and quantitated within stained tissue sections as the number of positive cells within the total image analysis area for each sample. An algorithm using automated identification of tissue areas on whole-slide images followed by segmentation of cell nuclei and classification of positive cells was visualized by overlaid masks. The number of positive cells was counted and measured as the total amount of positive cells, total positive cell area, and percentage of positive cells within the total image analysis area for each sample. The intensity measurement was a mean intensity value of all positive cells. Data are reported per tissue.

After 2 hours of ventilation, ventilatory settings were switched back to baseline, animals underwent heparinization (1000 IU IV) to avoid postmortem blood clotting, and were euthanized by sectioning the inferior vena cava and abdominal aorta, which led to a massive hemorrhage. The trachea was clamped at end-expiration, and the lungs were extracted en bloc. The left lung was fixed in buffered 10% formaldehyde (Millonig's phosphate buffer, 100 mL HCHO, 900 mL H 2 O, 18.6 g NaH 2 PO4, and 4.2 NaOH) and subsequently embedded in paraffin. Next, 4-μm-thick frontal slices from the apex to the base were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin.
The histologic lung slices were then digitized (3DHistech Panoramic Scan, Budapest, Hungary), and images were processed using a routine written in MATLAB to quantify the fraction of air in each specimen. The total specimen area was computed, and the relative proportions of parenchyma, edema, or infiltration (presented in white color), and air (presented in black) were determined in each specimen. Qualitative analysis of parenchyma was performed with different magnifications (100×, 200×, and 400×) in a randomly picked square area.

Histological Analysis of Repaired Skin

The tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and images were collected using a Panoramic SCAN (3DHISTECH Ltd., Hungary) at the Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital. For different tattoos, variations in the average epidermal and dermal thickness were measured using CaseViewer software version 2.3 (3DHISTECH Ltd. Hungary).
For the histological study of repaired tissues at 2 and 6 months post-wound creation, a scalpel was used to excise a long rectangular piece of tissue from the center of each wound or normal skin. The samples were immersed and fixed in 10% formalin buffer for 24 h, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin. Samples were sectioned at a 5-µm thickness and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (Merck, Germany) to observe the skin structure; picrosirius red stain (Polysciences Inc., USA) was used to identify the types and distribution of collagen fibrils, Masson’s trichrome stain HT-15 (Sigma-Aldrich Co., Switzerland) was used to determine the architecture and biosynthesis of collagen, and Verhoeff’s stain (Polysciences Inc., USA) was used to clarify the distribution and maturation of elastin fibrils. The stained tissue sections were analyzed under a light microscope (Leica, Germany) or with a polarizer when picrosirius red images were observed.

Immunostaining of Tumor-Infiltrating Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Paraffin-embedded tissue sections of mouse ID-8 ovarian tumor specimens were obtained from mouse experiments. One slide with maximum tumor area per mouse was sent to pathology core laboratory (National Health Research Institutes, Taiwan) for further staining with F4/80 (Abcam) or GR-1 (BioLegend) antibody by using the automatic slide stainer BenchMark XT (Ventana Medical Systems, AZ). All immunostained slides were digitalized with Panoramic Scan (3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). Each slide is from one individual tumor, and positively stained cells among the tumor areas in one single slide were counted and divided by the tumor area (mm2). Four or five mice, i.e. 4 to 5 slides, were analyzed per group. Student t test was used for the statistical test (*P<0.05).

Fibrosarcoma Tissue Array Aptamer Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The slides of fibrosarcoma tissue array (SO2084) were purchased from Xi'an Elina Biotechnology Co., Ltd. These slides were preheated at 60 °C for 30 min and then immersed in xylene for 30 min. They were sequentially immersed in a gradually decreasing ethanol solution for rehydration (100%, 95%, 90%, 80%, and 70%) at 5 min intervals. They were washed with WB, and placed in 0.01 M citrate (pH 6.0), heat for 20 min. After naturally cooled down at room temperature, they were treated with pre-cooled blocking buffer (BB, 20% FBS and 0.1 mg/mL salmon sperm DNA) for 1 h. They were then incubated with 250 nM Cy5-labeled aptamer S11e and Library for 1 h at 4 °C, separately. Finally, the fluorescence images were captured by a Panoramic SCAN (3DHISTECH, Spain). Fluorescence intensity was calculated and marked as negative (–, <30,000), weak (+, 30,000–60000), moderate (++, 60,000–100000) or strong (+++, >100,000), respectively.

Liver Tumor Volume Quantification

To determine the tumor volume of livers, HE stained sections were scanned by Panoramic Scan (3D Histech Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). The length and width of tumors in each section were determined with the help of Panoramic viewer program (3D Histech Ltd.) Tumor volume was calculated as V  =  (a2*b*π)/6 where ‘a’ refers to width (mm) and ‘b’ stands for length (mm).

The testes were sectioned into 3 μm-thick slices and fixed in paraffin. After deparaffinization and rehydration, the sections were prepared for immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining using primary antibodies against either ubiquitinated H2A (ubH2A) or protamine 1 (Prm1) following a blocking and antigen retrieval procedure. The histopathology slides were scanned at a magnification of 40× using Panoramic Scan (3DHISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). The staining intensity was scored on a scale of 0 to 3, where 0 indicates no staining, 1 indicates weak staining (light yellow), 2 indicates moderate staining (yellow–brown), and 3 indicates strong staining (brown). The percentage of positively stained cells was scored as follows: 1 (<10%), 2 (10–50%), 3 (50–75%), or 4 (>75%). The staining index was calculated by multiplying the staining intensity score by the percentage of positive cells. The index value ranges from 0 to 12.

The immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on 5 µm tissue sections using the antibodies of HK2 (Cell Signaling Technology). Briefly, after incubation with primary antibody (1 : 100 diluted with 10 % goat serum in PBS) overnight at 4°C, the slides were washed three times with PBS and incubated with biotin conjugated second antibody (1 : 100, #14708, Cell Signaling Technology) for an additional hour at room temperature. The final image of IHC was developed using a DAB kit (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA) as described by the manufacturer. The results of the IHC analysis were taken with a digital slide scanning system (Panoramic Scan, 3DHISTECH Ltd.). The results were quantified as mean density (IOD/area) by Image J software.

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.
