Quantifying EGFR Expression in Erlotinib-Resistant Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical staining was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded WHIM2 tumors. Heat-induced antigen retrieval was performed in pH 9 Tris–EDTA using a Dakocytomatin Pascal Pressure Chamber. EGFR (Cell Signaling Technology, 2232S) antibody was diluted 1:50 in SignalStain Antibody Diluent (Cell Signaling Technology) and was applied to sections from parental and erlotinib-resistant WHIM2 tumors. Detection was performed using the Rabbit Dako EnVision System (Agilent K406511–2). Slides were imaged using Zeiss Axio Observer with Zen software. Quantification of immunohistochemical staining was performed using ImageJ plugins IHC Toolbox and IHC Profiler28 (link). T-tests were performed on GraphPad Prism v.9.2.0 to determine if differences in staining were statistically significant between groups.

Acetylation Dynamics in Pancreatic Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 102 patients who underwent curative operation for pancreatic cancer at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital between 2007 and 2016. With approval of the ethics committees of the Faculty of Medicine in Tokyo Medical and Dental University (permission No. M2000-1080, G2017-018), written informed consent was obtained from all patients. Patients were anonymously coded in accordance with ethical guidelines, as instructed by the Declaration of Helsinki.
Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed with citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Anti-acetyl histone H3 (Lys9 and Lys27) antibody was diluted 1/1000 with SignalStain Antibody Diluent (#8112; Cell Signaling Technology) and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Antigen–antibody reactions were visualized with SignalStain Boost IHC Detection Reagents (HRP, Rabbit #8114; Cell Signaling Technology).

For immunohistochemistry (IHC), sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated before undergoing heat-induced antigen retrieval in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 30 min. Slides were blocked for endogenous peroxidase for 20 min, then blocked for 1 h in 5% BSA, 1% goat serum, 0.1% Tween-20 buffer in PBS, and incubated overnight at 4 °C in primary antibody diluted in blocking buffer or SignalStain® Antibody Diluent (Cell Signaling). Slides were incubated in biotinylated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature and signal was detected using the Vectastain Elite ABC kit (Vector Laboratories). Ki67 (Cell Signaling Cat#9027 S) was used at dilution 1:500. For immunofluorescence (IF), cells or tissue sections were fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde for 5 min, blocked for 1 h and incubated overnight at 4 °C in primary antibody diluted in blocking buffer. Slides were then incubated for 1 h at room temperature in Alexa Fluor-488 secondary antibody (Invitrogen R37118) at 1:500 dilution in blocking buffer and mounted using mounting media with DAPI (EMS).

We carried out immunohistochemistry on paraffin‐embedded blocks of xenografted tumor tissues using rabbit polyclonal antibodies against pERK diluted 1:100 (Cell Signaling Technology) and pS6 diluted 1:400 (Cell Signaling Technology), as described previously (ref: GC CGH), with slight modifications. Briefly, after antigen retrieval and inactivation of endogenous peroxidase, tissue sections were blocked with 2.5% horse serum (ImmPRESS reagent kit; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) at room temperature for 30 min and then incubated at 4°C overnight with antibodies against pERK and pS6 diluted in SignalStain Antibody Diluent (Cell Signaling Technology) and 1% BSA/PBS, respectively. After washing in PBS, the sections were incubated at room temperature for 30 min with peroxidase‐conjugated horse anti‐rabbit Ig (ImmPRESS reagent kit; Vector Laboratories). Peroxidase activity was detected using ImmPACT DAB Peroxidase Substrate (Vector Laboratories).

Immunohistochemistry of Paraffin-Embedded Tumor Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IHC examination of paraffin-embedded tumor sections was performed by deparaffinizing the sections with washes of xylene, and rehydrating them with serial washes of absolute ethanol, 95% ethanol, and then with distilled water. Antigen retrieval was performed by boiling the sections in Tris-EDTA (pH 9) for ST2 staining and in acetate (pH 6) for other antibodies. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked with 3% oxygen peroxidase. Non-specific binding was blocked with Background Buster (Innovex Biosciences, Richmond, CA). The primary antibody was incubated on slide overnight at 4°C in SignalStain antibody diluent (Cell Signaling Technology). Secondary antibody binding and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) development were performed the following day. The nuclei were stained with hematoxylin. The slides were dehydrated, mounted and visualized under an Olympus BX41 microscope (Olympus) with a CCD camera. Primary antibodies included those used in the IF experiments, as well as an antibody against the full-length ST2 (prepared for the present study by Genemed Synthesis Inc.). Secondary antibodies included anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase (HRP; Cell Signaling Technology) diluted in SignalStain® Boost IHC Detection Reagent (Cell Signaling Technology) with DAB as the substrate, and Eukitt® as the mounting media (both from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
