Frozen Section Preparation of Undecalcified Hard Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the preparation of frozen sections from non-fixed and undecalcified hard tissues, Kawamoto’s film methods were used. Samples were freeze-embedded with super cryoembedding medium (SECTION-LAB Co. Ltd., Hiroshima, Japan) and cut in thickness of 5 μm after mounting the adhesive film onto the sample surface. Samples were then immediately fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 20 min and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. For immunohistological analysis, the specimens were incubated with the anti-CD146 antibody (Abcam, San Francisco, CA, USA), or the isotype IgG (Abcam) at 4 °C overnight after blocking with 5% goat serum (Life Technologies, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). After washing, the specimens were incubated with secondary antibody Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-rabbit IgG (Life Technologies) for 60 min at room temperature. All images were taken by fluorescence microscope (Biozero BZ-X700, Keyence, Osaka, Japan).

Evaluating MSC Stemness in Hydrogels

In order to identify the stemness of encapsulated MSCs in different hydrogel formulations, immunoflurescence staining was performed using anti-CD146 antibody (Abcam). Briefly, after two weeks of culturing in osteogenic media, the specimens were retrieved, PFA (4%) fixed, paraffin embedded, sectioned (6 μm), and deparaffinized. The slides were treated with 3% H2O2 and then with a blocking buffer (1% BSA and 0.25% Triton X-100 in PBS) and stained with CD146 primary antibody (1:200, Abcam) over night. Next, secondary Alexa-Fluor conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200, Invitrogen) was used and specimens were counterstained with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA).

BrdU and CD146 Expression in Wound Healing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 3 days of wounds were made, animals received intraperitoneal injections of BrdU at a concentration of 100 mg/kg body weight once a day for 3 consecutive days. Animals then were sacrificed. Wound tissues were collected, fixed and embedded. 5-μm sections were cut and routinely prepared for immunohistochemical staining. Anti-BrdU antibody (1:10, Novus, USA) and anti-CD146 antibody (1:200, abcam, USA) were used as primary antibody and Polymer-HRP&AP Double Staining Kit (GBI Labs, Bothell, USA) was used to detect BrdU and CD146.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of TMEM164 in Human Liver Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was performed using an Envision Kit (Dako, Carpinteria, CA). Human specimen slides were subjected to immunohistochemistry using mouse anti-alpha smooth muscle actin (Dako) and rabbit anti-CD34 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) monoclonal primary antibodies and hematoxylin and eosin staining.
TMEM164 expression in human liver tissue was evaluated using a rabbit anti-TMEM164 polyclonal antibody (Abcam). Specimens with vascular endothelial cells that were stained more strongly than other constituent cells in both tumor and nontumor tissues were determined to have high staining intensity.
Double fluorescent staining was performed using a rabbit anti-TMEM164 polyclonal antibody and Alexa 488 FITC-conjugated rabbit anti-IgG, and mouse polyclonal anti-CD31 (Abcam) or anti-CD146 antibody (Abcam) and Alexa 488 FITC-conjugated rabbit anti-IgG as primary and secondary antibodies. Each of these antibodies was mixed and treated at 37°C for 24 hours. Culture slides were mounted and stained using DAPI. All images were obtained using a BIOREVO BZ-X810 fluorescence microscope system (Keyence, Osaka, Japan).

Immunocytochemical Quantification of MDSCs

Immunocytochemistry cellular immunofluorescence was conducted as previously described [41 (link)]. The MDSCs were first fixed in 4% PFA (Sigma) and permeabilized with 1% Triton X-100 (Invitrogen). The cells were incubated with an optimal concentration of anti-MHC antibody, anti-CD146 antibody, anti-PAX7 antibody, and anti-PW1 antibody (1:200, all from Abcam) overnight at 4 °C, incubated with an Alexa Fluor 488 or 546 secondary antibody (1:800, Invitrogen), followed by rinsing three times with PBS. Then, cell nuclei were stained with Dapi (Invitrogen) prior to being imaged by fluorescent microscope (Olympus). The number, length, diameter, and maturation index data of myotubes were obtained from at least three images of each sample using ImageJ software, and cell positive rate of each marker was calculated by normalizing the positive cell number to the total cell number.

Immunostaining of Cryosections and DPCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining of cryosections was performed by initial blocking with 10% normal goat serum, followed by incubation with anti-CD-146 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) or IgG (Abcam), wash, and incubation with second antibody AlexaFluor 488 conjugated IgG (Invitrogen).
DPCs were seeded onto 96-well plates and cultured for 24 hours in basal medium. The cells were subsequently fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 15 minutes, permeabilized with PBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes, blocked with 10% normal goat serum, and incubated with primary antibodies anti-STRO-1 (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank, Iowa City, IA, USA), anti-SSEA-4 (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), or anti-CD146 (Abcam) for 1 hour or overnight. In negative controls, primary antibodies were replaced by an appropriate isotype-matched negative IgM or IgG. Cells were incubated with AlexaFluor 488 conjugated anti-mouse IgM (Invitrogen) or IgG (Invitrogen).
Cell nuclei were stained with 4′6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Invitrogen). Analysis of immunofluorescence staining was performed under a microscope (Biozero BZ-8000; Keyence Corp., Osaka, Japan).

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.
