3 3 diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride dab substrate

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

3,3'-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) substrate is a chromogenic substrate used in immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry applications. It produces a brown, insoluble precipitate upon oxidation by peroxidase enzymes, allowing for the visualization of target antigens in biological samples.

Serological Analyses of RSV Antibodies

RSV F protein-specific antibodies (IgG, IgG1, and IgG2a) were determined in samples by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as previously described 20 (link). To determine hemagglutination inhibition (HI) titers, serum samples were incubated with receptor destroying enzyme (RDE, Denka Seiken, Japan) and heated at 56 °C. In brief, HI titers were determined using inactivated PR8 virus and 1% chicken erythrocyte suspension with two-fold diluted serum samples after RDE treatment.
RSV-specific neutralizing antibody titers in immune sera were evaluated by a standard method as previously described 21 (link). Briefly, the serum samples were heat-inactivated at 56°C and serially diluted two-fold in serum-free DMEM. Equal volumes of RSV (300 PFU/well) were mixed with diluted sera. A mixture of RSV with or without immune sera was incubated at 33°C, 5% CO2 for 1 h prior to incubation in the HEp-2 cell monolayers. The next steps were followed by an immune-plaque assay procedure as described previously 15 (link). After fixing with 5% formaldehyde in PBS and blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk in PBST, anti-RSV F monoclonal antibody (131-2A, Millipore) and then HRP conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody were used. Individual plaques were developed using 3,3’-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) substrate (Invitrogen, Camarillo, CA) and then counted.

Next, 6 × 103 cells/well were seeded into a 0.1% gelatin-coated 96-well plate. Cells were infected with 50 µL of six serial dilutions of virus-containing media, ranging from undiluted to 105 dilutions. Then, 72 h post infection, cells were fixed and permeabilized with 100% methanol for 30 min at −20 °C, washed with PBS followed by PBS-T, and blocked with 1% BSA and 0.2% skim milk in PBS-T. Afterwards, 3% hydrogen peroxide was added to block endogenous peroxidase activity. Cells were stained with anti-NS5A (1:25,000), ImmPRESS anti-mouse IgG (1:3000) (Vector Laboratories), and the 3,3’-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) substrate (1 drop/mL) (Invitrogen), respectively. NS5A-positive wells were counted and recorded using a light microscope. TCID50 was calculated with a Reed & Muench Calculator, as previously described [63 (link)].

Immunohistochemical Detection of Inflammatory Markers

General immunohistochemical staining method was applied, briefly, paraffinembedded sections were de-paraffinized, rinsed with PBS repeatedly, and then blocked with 5% serum for 0.5 h. Sections were then stained with primary antibodies against interleukin-1 (IL-1, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α, Abcam Inc., Cambridge, MA, USA), or interleukin-6 (IL-6, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) overnight at 4 °C. The sections were treated and incubated after washing by PBS at 37 °C for 0.5 h. Subsequently, the sections were detected with 3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) substrate (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and counterstained with hematoxylin. The samples were detected using a digital pathology system (Aperio CS2, Leica, Germany).

Immunohistochemical Detection of Adenovirus

Tumor tissues of two mice per group were obtained by necropsy at 7 days after the second intravenous injection. All tissues were fixed for at least 24 h in 10% formaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and then cut into 40-μm sections. Tissue section slides were deparaffinized with xylene twice for 10 min, and the slides were rehydrated using a graded alcohol series. Following antigen retrieval, endogenous peroxidase from each tissue section was removed using 3% hydrogen peroxide. After blocking for 1 h with 5% BSA, slides were incubated with anti-adenovirus type 5 antibody (Abcam, UK) overnight at 4°C to detect adenovirus structural proteins (e.g., hexon, penton, and fiber). Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG was used as a secondary antibody and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. To detect the chromogenic activity of HRP, a mixture of 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) substrate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 34002) was added for 5–10 min. After washing with distilled water, hematoxylin (Dako, Denmark) was added for 2–5 min to stain the nuclei. The dehydrated and cleared tissue sections were mounted with mounting media (xylene:mount = 1:1) for microscopy.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Sinonasal Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly harvested sinonasal tissue from a minimum of three different subjects was fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin and routinely processed. Sections were then deparafinnized in graded ethanol baths followed by antigen retrieval with boiling citrate buffer (pH 6.6) for 10 minutes. Tissue endogenous peroxidases were quenched with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide and slides were then incubated with 3% BSA in PBS to prevent nonspecific binding. Slides were then incubated with primary rabbit anti-human A20/TNFAIP3, mouse anti-human Cezanne, or rabbit anti-human CYLD antibody (Abcam; Cambridge, UK) for 1h at room temperature, and then a biotinylated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) for 1 h. Signal detection was performed using an avidin-peroxidase detection agent (Vectastain Elite ABC kit, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) substrate (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA). The sections were then counterstained with hematoxylin for 10 min, mounted, and subsequently analyzed with a Nikon Eclipse Ti inverted microscope and a Nikon Digital Sight DS-Fi1 color camera.

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.
