Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All H&E and immunohistochemically stained slides were scored by a gynecopathologist (M.C.G.B.) and a senior resident in pathology (N.B.T.).
The Optiview detection kit with the automated 100 BenchMark ULTRA IHC/ISH system (Roche) was used to perform immunostaining of both p16INK4a and Ki-67. Mouse monoclonal antibodies against the p16INK4a antigen (clone E6H4; Roche, Basel, Switzerland) were used for immunostaining of p16INK4a. Immunostaining of Ki-67 was performed with mouse monoclonal antibodies against the Ki-67 antigen (clone Ki-67; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark).
A negative or patchy staining pattern of p16INK4a was scored as 0, whereas a diffuse (or block) p16INK4a staining pattern up to the lower third of the epithelium was scored as 1, extending above the lower third of the epithelium was scored as 2, or extending more than two-thirds of epithelium was scored as 3. When a diffuse staining pattern for p16INK4a was present, we also scored whether this pattern was completely diffuse or combined with a negative or patchy staining pattern. Ki-67 expression was scored as not increased (score 0), increased in the lower third (score 1), increased in the lower two-thirds (score 2), or increased in more than two-thirds (score 3) of the epithelium.

Whole‐cell protein extracts of HeLa and HeLa16 cells were separated in 10% SDS‐PAGE gels and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ, USA). The protein bands were first immunoreacted with our novel p16INK4A‐specific monoclonal antibodies (1:500, clones 1H1087, 1A72 and 1B517), an immunochemistry‐purposed mouse anti‐human p16INK4A monoclonal antibody (1:500, clone E6H4; Roche, Basel, Switzerland) or an anti‐human β‐actin antibody (1:500; CW Biotechnology, Beijing, China). The immunoreactions were then detected with a (secondary) HRP‐conjugated rabbit anti‐mouse IgG polyclonal antibody (1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and visualised with ECL Western Blotting Detection reagents (GE Healthcare).

Evaluating p16 Expression in FFPE Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fixed and paraffin-embedded samples were evaluated by p16INK4a immunohistochemistry (IHC) using clone E6H4 of CINtec (Roche, Heidelberg, Germany) to determine the p16 status of a tumor specimen. The sample was considered positive for p16 if diffuse nuclear and cytoplasmic staining were present, and > 70% of cells were stained.

Cervical Lesion Characterization via IHC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All tissue blocks were cut to provide sections of 3 µm. The first and last sections were used for H&E staining to ensure the presence of the same cervical lesion, and in-between sections were used for immunostaining with mouse monoclonal antibodies against Ki-67 antigen (DAKO, Clone MIB-1) or p16ink4a antigen (Roche, CINtec, Clone E6H4), using the automated IHC Ventana staining machine (Roche, Basel, Switzerland).

Immunohistochemical Profiling of HPV Lesions

Serial sections of 3 μm were cut from all tissue blocks. To ensure the presence of the same lesion in all specimens, the first and last sections were stained for H&E (sandwich technique). In between sections were immunostained with mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against Ki-67 antigen (Clone MIB-1, DAKO, Denmark) or p16 ink4a antigen (Clone E6H4 ™ , CINtec ® , Roche, Switzerland) by the automated IHC Ventana staining machine (Ventana Medical Systems, Roche, USA), or with the validated mAb panHPVE4 (further referred to as "E4", mAb FH1.1, produced in the laboratory of J. Doorbar, previously described by van Baars et al., reactive against high-risk HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59 , 66, 67, and 70) [2, 12] . For E4 staining, slides were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated in a descending alcohol series. FH1.1 primary antibody was applied at a concentration of 1:500 after 30-min microwave pretreatment in Tris/EDTA buffer (10 mM Tris/1 mM EDTA, pH 9.0) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Application of the primary antibody was followed by incubation with BrightVision plus Poly-HRP anti-mouse IgG (ImmunoLogic, The Netherlands), diaminobenzidine as a chromagen and Hematoxylin nuclear counterstaining.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Tumor Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four-μm-thick sections of FFPE tumors were pretreated and immunostained using the Ventana Benchmark XT system. Primary antibodies for MDM2 (clone IF2, Invitrogen, dilution 1/100), CDK4 (clone DCS-31, Invitrogen, dilution 1/200), and p16 (clone E6H4, Roche, ready-diluted) were used as previously described [5, [19] [20] [21] [22] .
The results were independently evaluated by 3 pathologists (NS, SFKJ and ST) who were blinded to the final diagnosis; discordant cases were reevaluated collegially. For each antibody, only well-defined nuclear reactivity was considered positive, whereas ill-defined, perinuclear and cytoplasmic staining were disregarded.
A tumor was considered positive for MDM2 or CDK4 when at least one tumor cell nucleus was stained per low power field, as previously described [5] . p16 IHC was semiquantitatively

Sequential 4 µm thick (FFPE) sections were stained for p16 and p53 using Ultraview universal DAB detection Kit (#760-700, Ventana). In brief, following deparaffinization and heat-induced antigen retrieval with CC1 (#950-500, Ventana) for 64 minutes, tissue samples were incubated with either anti-p16 (1.0 µg/ml ready to use, clone E6H4, Ventana) or anti-p53 (2.5 µg/ml ready to use, clone BP53-11, Ventana) for 32 minutes at 37°C. Incubation was followed by a hematoxylin II counter stain for 8 minutes and then a blue coloring reagent for 8 minutes according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Ventana).

Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed on 4-μm sections of TMA using the Ventana autostainer and UltraView DAB detection kit (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The antibodies we used were p16INK4a (1:6, clone E6H4, mouse mAb, Ventana Medical Systems) and p53 (1:1,500, clone M7001, mouse mAb, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). According to the eighth edition of the AJCC cancer staging manual, p16 immunostaining was positive when it showed greater than a +2/+3 intensity in > 75% of tumor cells. Separately, the result of p53 was positive if nuclear staining was present in > 10% of tumor cells.

As described previously32 (link),33 (link), the DNA-extractions from the samples were analysed for presence of 40 different HPV subtypes using a multiplex Modified General Primers (MGP)-PCR and Luminex. In addition, HPV positive lesions were also subjected to immunostaining for p16. Four µm sections of FFPE tissue were prepared utilising the CINtec p16-kit, Clone E6H4, (Ventana Medical Systems), and the BenchMark Ultra platform (Ventana Medical Systems). Positive p16 expression was defined as at least 70% nuclear and cytoplasmic expression with moderate to strong intensity34 (link).

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.
