Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was performed on 5 micron-thick, formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor sections, which were initially deparaffinized, rehydrated and heated in citric acid (pH 6.0) for 20 min in a microwave oven. After antigen retrieval, endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min, followed by 30 min blocking incubation in goat serum (Histostain™-Plus Kits; ZSGB-BIO). The slides were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody against USP33. Next, the slides were incubated with biotinylated antibody (Histostain™-Plus Kits; ZSGB-BIO) for 30 min at room temperature. Finally, slides were visualized by 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining. Stained slides were digitalized with Scanscope XT (Aperio Technologies, Vista, CA). To quantitate the state of USP33 protein expression, the mean percentage of positive tumour cells was determined in at least five random fields at 200× magnification in each section. The intensity of the USP33-immunoreaction was scored as follows: 0, negative; 1+, weak; 2+, moderate; and 3+, intense. The percentage of positive tumour cells and the staining intensity then were multiplied to produce the USP33-immunohistochemical staining score.

Mouse liver tissues were formalin fixed, embedded in paraffin and sectioned at 4 μm. Slides were routinely processed for immunohistochemically stained using the following antibodies: rabbit anti-αSMA (1:200, Abcam, MA, USA), rabbit anti- FLNA (1:1000, Abcam, MA, USA), mouse anti-VIM (1:500, Abcam, MA, USA). Visualization was perfomed using the Histostain-Plus Kit (ZSGB-BIO). For immunofluorescence studies, the isolated HSCs were cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum for 1 month and kept stable proliferation rate and growth characteristics. These primary activated HSCs grown on cover slips were fixed and stained using the above antibodies. 20x pictures for each slip was analyzed using Image J software. The detail of mice liver fibrosis model and isolation of mice HSCs are provided in the supporting information.

Paraffin sections (4 μm) were prepared, and IHC was performed with a Histostain-Plus kit (ZSGB-BIO, Beijing, China). The primary antibodies included anti-COL2A1, COL10A1, RUNX2, ID1, and p-SMAD1S463/465 antibodies. A DAB Horseradish Peroxidase Color Development Kit (ZSGB-BIO) was used for detection. Immunostaining evaluations were performed independently by experimenters blinded to sample identity. The staining intensity was scored as follows: 0 (negative), 1 (weakly positive), 2 (moderately positive), and 3 (strongly positive). The percent of positivity was also scored according to 5 categories: 0 (<5%), 1 (5%−25%), 2 (25%−50%), 3 (50%−75%), and 4 (>75%). Then, the value of the percent positivity score was multiplied by the staining intensity score to generate final expression scores, which ranged from 0 to 12.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Male C57BL/6 mice (n=4; age, four weeks; weight, 20–30 g) were purchased from the experimental animal center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. The animal experiments were approved by the ethics committee of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. The mice were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate (250 mg/kg; Wuhan Hechang Chemical Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) by intraperitoneal injection and perfused transcardially with 4% paraformaldehyde (Tianjin Guangfu Chemical Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China) in phosphate-buffered saline (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China). The mandibles were removed and immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4°C for 48 h. The tissues were subsequently decalcified and embedded in paraffin (Shanghai Hushi Laboratorial Equipment Co., Ltd, Shanghai, China). Five-micron-thick sections were analyzed by immunohistochemistry using a mouse monoclonal antibody against gamma-glutamyl transferase (1:400 dilution; cat. no. ab55138; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). The sections were then incubated with a biotinylated secondary antibody using a Histostain-Plus kit (ZSGB-BIO, Beijing, China). The color reaction was finally developed using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan). The sections were observed using a light microscope (Eclipse 80i; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Tissue sections were dewaxed and hydrated, then immunohistochemical staining was performed using the Histostain-Plus Kit (PV-9000, ZSGB-BIO, China; 20—40 s), followed by a DAB Kit (ZLI-9017, ZSGB-BIO, China; 1–10 min). The sections were incubated with an anti-PLOD1 antibody (LH1, 1: 100, Abcam, ab171140), anti-PLOD2 antibody (LH2, 1: 100, Abcam, ab90088), anti-PLOD3 antibody (LH3, 1: 100, Abcam, ab128698), or an anti-collagen I antibody (COLI, 1: 100, Abcam, ab6308) overnight at 4°C (12–16 h). This was followed by incubation with conjugated secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h. DAB and hematoxylin were deconvoluted using Image J software, and images were pseudocolored to assess their colocalization. Samples with yellow granular staining were considered to have positive expression of the protein.

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.
