We cut 5-µm-thick sections from representative paraffin blocks of liver cancer for immunohistochemistry (Supplementary Figure 6). The primary antibodies were hepatocyte (IR624, 1:50, Dako), GPC-3 (ZM-0146, 1:1, ZSGB-Bio), CK7 (1:1, Dako), CK19 (1:50, Dako), EpCAM (HEA125, 1:50, abcam, Cambridge, UK), and c-kit (A4502, 1:1, Dako). Immunoreactivity was evaluated according to the percentage of positive cells on sections regardless of intensity of staining, with grading form 0 to 4+ as follows: 0, no staining or equivocal reaction; 1+, 1–5% positive cells; 2+, 6–25% positive cells; 3+, 26–50% positive cells; and 4+, >50% positive cells. Tumors with a grade of 2+ were regarded as positive for antigen expression.

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples were sectioned at 4 μm. After antigen retrieval by autoclaving in tris-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid based buffer (S2375; Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA), sections were incubated with 3% hydrogen peroxide and protein-free blocking solution (X0909; Dako). Sections were stained with rabbit anti-human CD117 (1:500, A4502; Dako), rabbit anti-human CD3 (1:150, ab16669; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or mouse anti-human Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) (1:500, ab20034; Abcam), sequentially. Sections were then incubated with EnVision+ Dual Link System-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (K4063; Dako), EnVision rabbit-HRP (K4003; Dako) or EnVision mouse-HRP (K4001; Dako) and developed with 3,3´-Diaminobenzidine substrate using the chromogen system (K3468; Dako). Finally, specimens were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. The peak mast cells, T cells and Tregs counts were obtained by counting at least 3 representative non-overlapping HPFs using a microscope (Olympus BX51; Tokyo, Japan) at 400× magnification in a blinded manner. Samples were evaluated by JC and TO in a blind manner. In the event of discordance in histological evaluation, the specimen underwent further review until a consensus was reached on the assessment.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of KIT and PTEN

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, 4-μm tumor sections were dewaxed in xylene, rehydrated with graded alcohol concentrations, and placed in an endogenous peroxide blocking buffer for 15 minutes. Sections were washed in water, antigen-retrieved, and then placed in citrate buffer. Nonreactive staining was blocked by treating the sections with 1% horse serum in Tris-buffered saline (pH 6.0) for 3 minutes. Then, anti-KIT (1:800, A4502, DAKO, Carpinteria, CA, USA) and anti-phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN, 1:100, ab32199; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) antibodies were then applied and the antibody binding was detected using an avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (Universal Elite ABC kit, Vectastain, Burlingame, CA, USA) for 10 minutes. Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride solution (Kit HK153-5K; Biogenex, San Ramon, CA, USA) was then used as a chromogen. The tumors specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to examine the basic histomorphological features.

Skin samples were fixed in 4% para-formaldehyde, washed in PBS, dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. Five-micrometer sections of hair, croup skin and dorsal midline skin were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. ImageJ was used to measure hair bulb area and hair color intensity. Color intensity was measured at six points across the diameter of the hair cortex and averaged for each hair. Hair color intensity measurements were taken from at least five hairs from each genotype. Immunofluorescence was carried out with goat antibody to TBX3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-17871), mouse antibody to MITF (Abcam, ab12039), rabbit antibody to SCF (KITLG; Abcam, ab64677), mouse antibody to AE13 (Abcam, ab16113), rabbit antibody to Ki67 (Abcam, ab15580), mouse antibody to AE15 (Abcam, ab58755), rabbit antibody to KRT6 (Abcam, ab24646) and rabbit antibody to KIT (Dako, A4502) after antigen retrieval using Tris-EDTA, pH 9 (TBX3) or 0.01 M citrate buffer, pH 6 (MITF, KITLG, AE13, Ki67, AE15, KRT6 and KIT) in a pressure cooker. All photomicrographs are representative of at least two animals of each genotype and anatomical location.

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.
