Formalin-fixed renal biopsy tissue was embedded in paraffin, mounted onto slides, and stained for myeloperoxidase (MPO) (rabbit-polyclonal, Abcam), and CD68 (KP1, DAKO-Agilent). The HIER method was used for antigen retrieval (BioGenex, San Ramon, CA). Images from 12 random fields within each slide were acquired at 400× magnification using an Olympus BX51 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and processed using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD). Cell counts for each image were quantified using color-separation and background-subtraction, automatic thresholding (e.g., Maximum-Entropy, Triangle, Huang), and particle-analysis algorithms.

Multiplex staining was performed following the Opal Tyramide amplification signal protocol for the markers D2–40 (D2/40; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) labeled with fluorophore 520 (Perkin Elmer, Akron, OH, USA); CD68 (KP1; Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) labeled with fluorophore 520; and CD206 (5C11; LSBio, Seattle, WA, USA) labeled with fluorophore 570 (Perkin Elmer). Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Perkin Elmer) and cover slips were applied to the slides with ProLong Gold (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA). The markers were distributed between two different panels of three colors each. The first panel included D2–40 and CD206; the second, CD68 and CD206. Slides containing prostate sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated as described above. For antigen retrieval, slides were microwaved with citrate H25 pH 6.0 buffer at 100 W for 1 min and 20 W for 15 min. After cooling for 15 min, they were treated with dual horseradish peroxidase block for 10 min, and the primary and secondary antibodies and fluorophores were applied according to their respective dilutions and incubation periods in a humid chamber. For the second round of primary antibody application, slides were first subjected to the same microwave antigen retrieval steps described above.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed immunohistochemical analysis of target antigen in the serial section of biopsies using the following antibodies and dilutions: (1) CD68 for macrophages (Mφ) in intact tissues. CD68 (KP1), a mouse monoclonal antibody (1:50) was derived from Dako. CD68 antigen (clone KP1), which we used for our current study as a marker of matured and activated Mφ, is a glycosylated trans‐membrane glycoprotein that is mainly located in lysosomes. (2) Anti‐Syndecan‐1 antibody [1:200, mouse monoclonal (B‐A38) to Syndecan (CD138), ab34164, Abcam] was used to immunolocalize plasma cells. (3) Non‐immune immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 (1:50), a mouse monoclonal antibody from Dako, was used as a negative control.

Tissues for IHC were harvested from MoM and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hour at 4°C, embedded in paraffin, cut into 5-μm sections and mounted onto poly-L-lysine coated glass slides. Following paraffin removal, antigen retrieval (DIVA Decloaker, Biocare Medical, Cat. DV2004.) and blocking of non-specific Ig-binding sites (Background Sniper, Biocare Medical), tissue sections were stained with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C and developed with a biotin-free horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-polymer system (MACH3 Mouse HRP-Polymer Detection, Biocare Medical). All tissue sections were then counterstained with hematoxylin. Primary antibodies directed against CD45 LCA (2B11&PD7/26, Dako), CD3 (SP7, Thermo Scientific), CD20 (L26, Biocare Medical) and CD68 (KP1, Dako) were used to identify human cells in the spleen, liver and lung. For comparison, tissue sections were stained with mouse IgG1k or IgG2a isotype controls. Light microscopy images were taken with a Nikon H550S microscope at 40×.

As described in a previous report [25 ], multiplex immunofluorescence staining was performed using the Opal 7-Color IHC Kit (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) in the FFPE tissue sections of a typically paired NSCLC and its brain metastases. The stained slides were scanned by a Vectra 3.0 multispectral imaging system (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The immunofluorescence markers consisted of B7-H4 (1:150 dilution, clone D1M8I, Cell Signaling Technology), CD3 (F7.2.38, prediluted, Dako), CD8 (C8/144B, prediluted, Dako), CD20 (L26, ready-to-use, Leica), CD68 (KP1, prediluted, Dako), and CK (AE1/AE3, prediluted, Dako). DAPI was used for nuclei highlighting. After dewaxing and rehydration, antigen retrievals were performed using a Meidi microwave (Meidi, China). For each primary antibody, tyramide signal amplification linked to specific fluorochrome from the multiplex immunofluorescence staining Kit was used for incubation and visualization. We performed the complete multiplex immunofluorescence staining procedure following the manufacturer’s instructions. In addition, human tonsil FFPE tissues were analyzed with and without primary antibodies following the same multiplex immunofluorescence staining procedure to establish positive and negative (autofluorescence) controls.

We reviewed hematoxylin-eosin stained slides prepared from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. In cases with bone marrow involvement, Wright-Giemsa–stained aspirate smears, touch imprints, and hematoxylin-eosin stained slides of aspirate clot and biopsy specimens were reviewed.
Immunohistochemical analysis was performed using 4-mm-thick formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections using heat-induced antigen retrieval, an avidin biotin-peroxidase complex method and an automated immunostainer (Ventana Biotech, Tucson, AZ, USA). A variable panel of antibodies was used as appropriate for establishing the diagnosis as described elsewhere.12 (link) The antibodies used were reactive with the following antigens: CD3 (1:100) (Lab Vision; Thermo Fisher Scientifics, Fremont, CA); CD20 (1:200), CD68 (KP-1; 1:900;), CD138 (M1-15; 1:600), IgG (1:40000), IgM (1:3000), IgA (1:5000), kappa (1:20,000) and lambda (1:20,000) (Dako North America, Inc., Carpenteria, CA). Detection was performed with biotinylated secondary antibody, horseradish peroxidase and 3,3’-diaminobenzidine as a chromogen. Slides were counterstained with haematoxylin. Appropriate negative and positive control slides were run in parallel.

We carried out double staining on formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded sections. First, the 4‐μm‐thick sections were immunostained using anti‐BTLA antibody or anti‐Cbl‐b antibody as the primary antibody, and visualized with 3,3′‐diaminobenzidine. After the tissue sections had been treated with glycine–HCl (pH 2.5), they were subjected to immunofluorescence staining using antibodies against each of the following antigens: CD1a (O10, Lab Vision, Fremont, CA, USA), CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14 (7, Leica Microsystems), CD20 (L26, DAKO), CD56 (1B6, Leica Microsystems), CD68 (KP1, DAKO), CD207 (12D6, Leica Microsystems), CD208 (104.G4, Immunotech, Fullerton, CA, USA), FOXP3, BTLA, and Cbl‐b. Immunostained tissue sections were analyzed with a confocal microscope (LSM5 Pascal; Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) equipped with a 15‐mW Kr/Ar laser.

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.
