Histostain plus kit

An antigen-retrieval process was performed in citrate buffer solution (pH 6.0) two times: first for 7 min, and afterward for 5 min in a microwave oven at 700 W. They were permitted to cool to room temperature for 30 min and washed in distilled water twice for 5 min. Endogenous peroxidase action was hindered in 0.1% hydrogen peroxide for 15 min. An ultra V block (Histostain-Plus Kit, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was connected for 10 min before the use of the pri-mary antibodies (VEGF antibody, mouse monoclonal, 1/200, SantaCruz Biotechnology) and Bcl-2 antibody (mouse monoclonal, 1/100, Abcam) overnight.
The secondary antibody (Histostain-Plus Kit, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was connected for 15 min. At that point, the slides were exposed to streptavidin-peroxidase for 15 min. Diaminobenzidine (DAB, Invitrogen, Carlsbad) was utilised as a chromogen. Control slides were set up as specified above yet overlooking the primary antibodies. In the wake of counterstaining with haematoxylin, washing in tap water for 5 min, and in refined water for 2 × 5 min, the slides were mounted.

Antigen retrieval process was performed in citrate buffer solution (pH 6) two times first 5 min, later 4 min boiled in microwave oven at 700 W (Bosch ® ). They were allowed to cool to room temperature for 20 min and washed in distilled water for 5 min two times. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked in 0.1% hydrogen peroxide [K-40677109,64271 hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), Dortmudt + Germany, MERCK] (3 mL 30% hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) + 27 mL methanol) for 10 min. Ultra V block (Histostain-Plus Kit, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was applied for 8 min prior to the application of primary antibodies p38 MAPK mouse monoclonal, 1/100 and PECAM-1 mouse monoclonal, 1/100 for overnight. Secondary antibody (Histostain-Plus Kit, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was applied for 20 min. Slides then were exposed to streptavidin-peroxidase for 25 min. Diaminobenzidine (DAB, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, lot: HD36221, Thermo Fischer, Fremont, CA, USA) was used as a chromogen. Control slides were prepared as mentioned above but omitting the primary antibodies. After counterstaining with haematoxylin (product number: HHS32 SIGMA, Haematoxylin Solution, Harris Modified, Sigma-Aldrich, 3050 Spruce Street, Saint Louis, MO 63103, USA), washing in tap water for 3 min and in distilled water for 2 × 3 min, the slides were mounted with Entellan ® (lot: 107961, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, United States).
