Prior to staining, sections incubated for 30 min at 60 °C followed by incubation for 20 min in xylene (9713.2, Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany). After hydrogenation by a descending alcohol series, they were stained with Mayer hematoxylin solution (1.07961.0500, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 10 min. After 5 min under running warm water, sections were counterstained for one minute with 0.5% eosin G solution (X883.2, Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany). Again, they were rinsed with warm water and dehydrated by the ascending series of alcohol. After 20 min in xylene, they were covered using entellan (1.07961.0500, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). The stained histological sections were digitized using an Olympus IX50 microscope (Hamburg, Germany) at 100 fold magnification, and evaluation of root resorptions at the disto-buccal tooth root of the moved first molar in relation to the respective root surface area was assessed with ImageJ (Ver.1.4.7, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA), as described before [16 (link),19 (link)].

Sectioning: The excised lungs were left in 10% neutral-buffered formalin (NBF) overnight and then immersed in a solution of 20% sucrose in 1X PBS. The lungs were then placed in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT) (TFMTM, General Data Company Inc., Cincinnati, OH, USA). Sectioning was performed using a Leica CM 1860 cryostat (Leica Byosystems, Deer Park, IL, USA) by cutting 8 μm sections of the left and right lung of mice injected with WT SUM-149 or MTDH-edited cells (n = 7/group). The sections were mounted on slides with a subbing solution as described in [78 (link)].
Hematoxylin & Eosin (H & E) staining: First, tissues were stained with Mayer hematoxylin solution (Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min at RT and then rinsed with running tap water for 10 min until the water was colorless. The tissues were then rinsed in 95% alcohol for 10 s. Then, the staining was performed with Eosin Y with Phloxine B (Sigma-Aldrich) solution for 30 s and rinsed in ascending series of ethanol (70%, 95%, and 100%). Finally, tissues were processed in xylene 1 min twice and mounted using VectaMount® permanent mounting medium (Vector Labortories, Newark, CA, USA). A pathologist analyzed H&E-stained slides and the micrographs were captured at a magnification of 20×.

The 6-μm-thick sections were de-paraffinized with xylene and re-hydrated with ethanol series from 100% (v/v) to 70% (v/v). The slides were washed three times, each for 5 min in PBS, followed by 0.5% Triton X-100 in ultrapure water for 10 min at room temperature. The slides were washed and boiled in a solution of 0.01-M Tris-EDTA (pH = 9) for 15 min for antigen retrieval, and cooled at room temperature for 40 min. The sections were incubated with 3% H 2 O 2 to block endogenous peroxidase, washed three times with PBS, and blocked with 10% goat serum for 2 h at room temperature. Subsequently, the slides were incubated with the primary antibodies against SETDB1 (1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), or H3K9me3 (1:50; Millipore) at 4°C overnight. While some slides were incubated with blocking solution as a negative control. Next day, the slides were rinsed four times in PBS, incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody for 1 h at 37°C and then washed three times with PBS. The slides were exposed to the horse radish peroxidase at 37°C for 1 h, followed by incubation in 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (CWBIO, Beijing, China) for staining and counterstained with Mayer hematoxylin solution (Sigma-Aldrich), and washed three times with PBS for 5 min each. Digital images were captured with the Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope camera.

To detect polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) in kidney and liver, immunohistochemistry was performed on 5 μm tissue cryosections. Sections were fixated for 10 min using acetone. Next, sections were stained with HIS-48 mAb (supernatant, two times diluted) using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked using H2O2 0.01% in phosphate-buffered saline for 30 min. After thorough washing, sections were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-mouse IgG as a secondary antibody for 30 min, followed by goat anti-rabbit IgG as a tertiary antibody for 30 min (both from Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). The reaction was developed using 9-amino-ethylcarbazole as chromogen and H2O2 as substrate. Sections were counterstained using Mayer hematoxylin solution (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Negative antibody controls were performed. Localization of immunohistochemical staining was assessed by light microscopy. For each tissue sample, positive cells were counted in 10 microscopic random fields of the tissue at 40x magnification. Results were presented as number of positive cells per glomerulus in the kidney and number of positive cells per area (μm2) in the liver.

Sections were deparaffinized at 60 °C for 30 min and transferred to xylene (9713.2, Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 20 min. They were hydrogenated by a descending alcohol series followed by staining with Mayer hematoxylin solution (1.07961.0500, Merck KG, Darmstadt, Germany) for 10 min. After incubation under running warm water for 5 min, slides were counterstained with eosin G solution 0.5% (X883.2, Carl Roth GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany) for one minute. After rinsing the samples under warm tap water, they were dehydrated by an ascending series of alcohol.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To detect caspase-3 positive cells in liver and kidney, immunohistochemistry was performed on 3 μm sections of paraffin embedded liver samples. Sections were deparaffined in a sequence of xylene, alcohol and water. As an antigen retrieval method we used for caspase-3 samples: EDTA (1 mM, pH 8.0) buffer. Next, sections were stained with Caspase-3 primary Antibody (Cell Signaling cat. nr. 9661, 100× diluted in 1 % BSA/PBS) using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked using H2O2 0.3 % in phosphate-buffered saline for 30 min. After thorough washing, sections were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG as a secondary antibody for 30 min (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark. cat. nr. P0448), followed by rabbit anti-goat IgG as a tertiary antibody for 30 min (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark. cat. nr. P0449). The reaction was developed using DAB as chromogen and H2O2 as substrate. Sections were counterstained using Mayer hematoxylin solution (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Negative antibody controls were performed. Localization of immunohistochemical staining was assessed by light microscopy. For each tissue section, positive cells per field were counted by a blinded researcher in ten microscopic fields of the tissue at 10× magnification. Results were presented as number of positive cells per field.

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.
