Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis was performed using FFPE tissues from 265 patients on tissue microarrays (TMA). TMA were constructed using 0.6 mm FFPE tissue cores punched from each donor block. To overcome tumor heterogeneity, three representative cores were selected from each tumor. 5μm thick TMA sections were deparaffinized and pretreated in citrate buffer pH 6.0 (Dakocytomation, Carpenteria, CA) for 20 minutes using an ordinary vegetable steamer. Slides cooled 20 minutes and were incubated 10 minutes with 3%H2O2 to quench endogenous peroxidase activity. Blocking was performed using serum-free protein block, Dakocytomation (Carpenteria, CA) for 20 minutes. Anti-CD47 polyclonal (Atlas, Stockholm Sweden) was added at 1:50 dilution to each section and incubated 60 minutes at room temperature. Rabbit IgG (Dakocytomation, Carpenteria, CA) was incubated as our negative isotype matched control. Labeled streptavidin biotin (LSAB2) reagents Dakocytomation (Carpenteria, CA) were used according to the manufacturer’s instructions followed by a 5 minute incubation with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB)+ Dakocytomation (Carpenteria, CA). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin and cover slipped.

For visualization of the VP1 major capsid protein of HPyV-6 in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples, slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated. After antigen retrieval with citrate buffer, pH 6.0 (Dako), and a wash with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), peroxidase-blocking solution (Dako S2023) was applied for 10 minutes at room temperature. After 2 washing steps with PBS, the slides were incubated with mouse monoclonal antibodies 6V12 or 6V32, which were elicited against HPyV-6 virus-like particles using previously reported methods.20 (link) 6V12 (isotype IgG3)is specific for HPyV-6VP1, whereas 6V32 (isotype IgG1) cross-reacts with HPyV-7 VP1. Neither monoclonal antibody is reactive with the VP1 protein of MCPyV. After primary antibody binding, the slides were washed twice again with PBS and then incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody (K5003A, Dako) for 30 minutes at room temperature; after 2 more washing steps with PBS, streptavidin horseradish peroxidase (K5003B, Dako) was applied for 20 minutes at room temperature. Slides were washed twice in PBS and stained with ImmPACT NovaRED (Vector Laboratories) for 8 minutes at room temperature. After another wash in PBS, slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Dako), rinsed in water, dehydrated, and mounted in Tissue-Tek Glas mounting medium (Sakura Finetek).

IHC was conducted on tissue microarrays (TMAs) using a standard immunoperoxidase procedure [27 (link)–29 (link)]. In brief, antigen retrieval was performed by microwaving the TMA slides, comprising two 2 mm cores from each patient, in citrate-buffer, pH 6.0 (Dako). Endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched by 3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and non-specific binding blocked by Serum-free protein block (Dako). Primary antibodies for total (1:300, #2109, Cell Signaling Technology) and phosphorylated (1:50, #2101, Cell Signaling Technology) Src were applied at 4°C ON.

Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) tissues were obtained from skin biopsies of 17 HIV-1-infected individuals with AIDS in the context of medically required diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. Uninvolved tissues of the skin of five of the patients as well as cerebellum tissue of an HIV-1-negative person were obtained as controls. The use of these post-diagnostic tissues was approved by the ethics committee of the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany.
Staining of PFA-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections for TRIM43 and KSHV LANA-1 were performed as previously described49 (link). A rabbit polyclonal antibody directed against human TRIM43 (ABCAM, ab80460, 1:50) and a rat monoclonal antibody against LANA-1 (Tebu-bio, Cat# 13-210-100, 1:250) were used as primary antibodies. Primary antibody binding was detected using the respective Vectastain Elite ABC Kits (Vector Laboratories). For both antibodies, the citrate buffer pH 6.0 (DakoCytomation) was used for the antigen retrieval. The sections were developed using NovaRed Substrate (Vector Laboratories), counterstained with Hematoxylin Gill III (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), and analyzed using a DM6000 B microscope (Leica).

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.
