Immunostaining was performed on paraformaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded excised lungs and embryos of different gestational ages (15.5 -21.5 dpc) as previously described [26] [27] [28] . Primary antibodies for STAT1 (1: 200, Abcam Inc., UK), STAT2 (1: 50, Abcam Inc.), STAT3 (1: 50, Cell Signaling Technology Inc., USA), STAT4 (1: 50, Cell Signaling Technology Inc.), STAT5 (1: 50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., USA), and STAT6 (1: 50, Abcam Inc.) were used. Negative control reactions included omission of the primary antibody and the simultaneous omission of the primary and secondary antibodies. In both the cases, immunoreactive staining was not observed. Sections were incubated with a labeled streptavidin-biotin immunoenzymatic antigen detection system (UltraVision Large Volume Detection System Anti-Polyvalent, Horseradish Peroxidase, Lab Vision Corporation, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. At least three independent experiments were performed for each antibody tested. In each experiment, a different set of slides (duplicates included, two sections from the same individual, per slide) comprising the whole range of gestational ages plus the adult were used. Different and unrepeated animal samples were selected for each group (gestational age). Six different animals for each group per studied antibody were examined.

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.
