The sections were incubated with HRP-labelled secondary antibodies for 30 min after being washed with PBS three times. Then, 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used as a substrate to visualize positive staining. Finally, images were obtained by using an IX73 Olympus microscope equipped with a DP80 camera (Olympus Corp., Tokyo, Japan).

Serial sections of diameter 3 microns were taken from the paraffin-embedded tissue samples of endometrial cancer, hyperplasia, and benign endometrium. One of these sections was stained with hematoxylin-eosin to confirm the diagnosis. Immunohistochemicals were applied to the tissue samples by an automated IHC/ISH stainer (Leica BOND-MAXTM, New Castle, UK). An anti-TLR2 antibody (anti-TLR2 antibody ab24192, ABCAM, Cambridge, MA, USA), an anti-TLR4 antibody (anti-TLR4 antibody [76B357.1] ab22048, ABCAM, Cambridge, MA, USA), an anti-TLR5 antibody (anti-TLR5 antibody [19D759.2] ab13876, ABCAM, Cambridge, MA, USA), and an anti-TLR6 antibody (anti-TLR6 antibody ab59920, ABCAM Cambridge, MA, USA) were used.
Immunohistochemical evaluation was performed in a semiquantitative manner by the same pathologist. The distribution and intensity of the TLR 2, 4, 5, and 6 staining of the cells were evaluated and compared with the background tumor cells. Staining of the nucleus and/or cytoplasm was considered a positive result. According to the distribution and intensity of the immunohistochemical staining, the samples were subjectively divided into four groups: group 0: no staining, group 1: mild staining, group 2: moderate staining, and group 3: severe staining. The SPSS 16.0 (Chicago, IL) package program was used for statistical analysis, and p<0.05 was considered significant.

S. schenckii and S. brasiliensis were analyzed for their interaction with hMDM in the presence of wHS or heat-inactivated human serum (iHS) as well as to evaluate phagocytic index upon blocking CR3, TLRs and Dectin-1. To block CR3, TLR2, TLR4, and Dectin-1 receptors, monoclonal anti-CD11b (Thermo Fisher, MA5-16528), anti-TLR2 (Abcam, ab16894), anti-TLR4 (Abcam, ab22048), and anti-Dectin-1 antibodies (35 (link)) were used, respectively. Briefly, hMDMs were preincubated with fresh DMEM medium supplemented with 10% of wHS for 30 min at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% of CO2. Monoclonal antibodies were then added in a final concentration of 10 µg/ml and incubated further at 8°C for 1 h. Then, hMDMs were infected with FITC-labeled yeasts of S. schenckii or S. brasiliensis, and the interaction was allowed for a duration of 1 h at 37°C in a CO2 incubator. The hMDMs were washed one time with PBS (GIBCO®, NY, USA) pH 7.4 and incubated for 15 min at ambient temperature with Trypan blue (GIBCO®, NY, USA) at a final concentration of 1.2 mg/ml. The cells were washed twice with PBS and fixed with 1% p-formaldehyde for 15 min at ambient temperature. Finally, hMDMs were washed once with PBS and, with the aid of a cell scraper, were gently released from the wells, suspended in PBS supplemented with 3% fetal bovine serum, and analyzed in a BD FACS-Canto™ II.

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.
