Histological Analysis of Formalin-Fixed Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Processing of formalin-fixed tissues was carried out by a graded series of alcohols. For H&E analysis, tissues were embedded in paraffin and 4-μm sections were cut and stained. For AB staining, 4-μm sections were cut, deparaffinized, and hydrated to distilled water. Sections were immersed in a solution of 3% acetic acid for 3 min and subsequently stained with AB for 30 min. After rinsing with running tap water and then distilled water, the slides were counterstained with nuclear fast red. For LAMP1 IHC, 4-μm formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and submitted to heat-induced antigen retrieval in EDTA. Slides were incubated with a 1:500 diluted rabbit monoclonal anti-LAMP antibody (ab208943, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Following this, the slides were incubated with Rabbit Envision (Dako) for 30 min and then chromogen 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) before hematoxylin counterstaining.

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.
