Lung Fixation and Histological Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following induction of isoflurane anesthesia, a midline abdominal incision was made, and the abdominal aorta was transected to exsanguinate and euthanize the animal. A midline incision was continued through the thoracic cavity and neck to allow injection of 5 ml of normal saline into the right ventricle of the heart to flush the pulmonary vasculature of residual blood. A luer lock–hubbed 20-gauge × ½-inch cannula was inserted into the trachea and secured in place with a suture. The lungs were fixed by insufflation with 10% neutral buffered formalin at 20 cm H2O for 24 hours at room temperature. The lung lobes were removed and embedded in paraffin, and 5-μm tissue slices were prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin by standard histopathology techniques (22 (link)). Histology images were acquired with an Aperio ScanScope CS slide scanner (Leica Biosystems) using a 40× objective lens and subsequently analyzed using Aperio ImageScope software version 12.3 (Leica Biosystems).

H&E sections were assessed using an Axioskope mot plus microscope (Zeiss, Toronto ON). Scans of whole hind paw sections (maximum resolution 20x) were acquired using an Aperio ScanScope CS slide scanner (Leica Biosystems, Concord, ON). High resolution images (Figures 5e–h; 6e–h) were generated by zooming in on the whole paw scans using Aperio ImageScope v12.2.2.5015 (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, IL). Images of cartilage and CD163+ staining (Figure 7e–m) were captured using a QIClick CCD Camera (QImaging, Surrey, BC) and processed using Northern Eclipse version 8 (Empix, Mississauga, ON).

The left lung was fixed overnight in 10% formalin (05-01004F BioOptica), dehydrated in a graded ethanol series, embedded in paraffin and cut into 4-µm sections. Pulmonary fibrosis was analyzed using digital microscopy. For the analysis of the fibrosis area, sections were stained with Masson’s trichrome, digitalized by AperioScanScope CS Slide Scanner (Leica Biosystem, New Castle Ltd, UK) at 40x magnification and submitted to ImageScope software (Leica).

HSC were cultured on coverslips and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Merck Millipore). Coverslips were rinsed with 60% isopropanol and incubated with Oil Red O solution (Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min. Afterward, cells were rinsed with 60% isopropanol and incubated with hematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich) and tap water for 1 and 5 min, respectively. Slides were mounted with Kaiser's glycerol gelatine (Merck Millipore), scanned with Aperio Scanscope CS slide scanner (Leica Biosystems), and analyzed by Imagescope (Leica Biosystems, http://www.le-icabiosystems.com/pathology-imaging/aperio-epathology/ integrate/Imagescope/).

The MVD of blood vessels stained with CD34 and CD105 was obtained by digital analysis. The slides were scanned into high-resolution images using the Aperio Scanscope CS Slide Scanner (Aperio Technologies Inc, Vista, CA, USA). All digital images obtained in .svs format were visualized with the ImageScope software (Aperio

Quantifying Immune Cell Populations in Ovarian Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell density of selected immune populations was analyzed using digital microscopy. The absolute cell count was quantified automatically using a custom-programmed script in Cognition Network Language based on the Definiens Cognition Network Technology platform (Definiens AG, Munich, Germany). Briefly, CD3, CD163, and BDCA2 stained slides were digitalized using an Aperio ScanScope CS Slide Scanner (Aperio Technologies, (Leica Biosystem, New Castle Ltd, UK) at 40× magnification and analyzed using Tissue Studio 2.0 (Definiens AG). The quantitative scoring algorithm was customized using commercially available templates (Supplementary Figure S1). The image analysis pipeline comprised segmentation of nucleus objects and cell classification based on a pre-trained decision tree, according to staining intensity. Immune cell counts were expressed as the number of positive cells/mm2 of ovarian cancer area.

Quantifying Kidney Fibrosis in IRI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Under terminal general anesthesia, the left kidney in warm IRI experiments was harvested at 30 d after the ischemia experiment, fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin, and paraffin embedded. Histologic sections (4 μm) were stained with Sirius Red for quantification of fibrosis. Sirius Red-stained sections were scanned using the Aperio ScanScope CS slide scanner (Aperio Technologies, Leica Biosystems), and digitized images were analyzed with Aperio ImageScope software using an algorithm optimized for the detection of interstitial fibrosis (red staining of collagen fibers) as a percentage of the total volume of tissue on the slide. 19 Subcapsular areas were excluded so as to limit the analysis to parenchymal changes.

Histopathological Evaluation of Mouse Colitis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded swiss rolls of colon and small
intestine were sectioned at 3-4 mm and the sections stained with hematoxylin and
eosin. For histopathological examination and scoring, H&E slides were
evaluated by an expert pathologist. The extent of inflammatory changes was
defined according to the score proposed by Cooper et al.58 (link). The histological scoring
system to evaluate the colitis grade is described in Supplementary Information Table
2
. For each sample, also the number of ulcers and
dysplastic/adenomatous lesions was reported. The proliferative lesions are
classified according to mouse pathology consensus recommendations59 (link). The tissue area of dysplastic
and adenomatous lesions was measured on H&E stained slides by digital
microscopy. Briefly, slides were digitalized by an Aperio ScanScope CS Slide
Scanner (Aperio Technologies) at 40X magnification. The dysplastic and
adenomatous lesions were identified and selected using Aperio ImageScope (Leica
Biosystems Imaging). The value of every selected dysplastic/adenomatous area is
expressed in μm2 and its major axis in μm.

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of MET in ESCC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Freshly cut 4-μm sections of each paraffin block of 22 ESCC samples and 19 NTST were used to perform immunohistochemistry using primary antibody against MET (EP1454Y, Abcam®, USA). Antigen retrieval was performed in a water bath while slides were submerged in citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 40 min at 98°C. The detection was performed following the supplier's recommendations for Novolink™ Max Polymer Detection System (Leica, UK). Samples from lung adenocarcinoma were used as a positive control of MET expression. In the negative control, the primary antibody was replaced with the antibody diluent solution.
Digital images were captured using the Aperio ScanScope CS Slide Scanner (Aperio Technologies, USA) under 20× objective magnification (0.5 μm resolution). An expert pathologist selected the tumor areas using ImageScope software suite (Aperio Technologies). The digital image analysis was performed on whole slide images with Aperio Membrane V9 algorithms (Aperio Technologies). The quantification was done automatically, after algorithm calibration by an experienced observer, and results are reported for MET immunohistochemistry (IHC) as scores from 0 to 3+, and positive tumor cell was defined at the membrane completeness between scores 1 to 3.

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.
