OCT-embedded frozen pancreatic tumors from KPC and KPCA−/− mice were sectioned and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min. The tumor sections were incubated in PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 min and then washed with PBS. Then, the tumor sections were blocked with 10% normal goat or donkey serum in PBS for 1 hour. Next, the tumor sections were incubated with antibodies against Sema3D (Abnova), PlxnD1 (Novus), Sema3A (Abcam), Snail1 (Abcam), NG2 (Chemicon), or AnxA2 (Cell Signaling) at a dilution of 1:25, 1:50 (Snail1), 1:300 (NG2), or 1:100 (AnxA2) in 10% normal goat or donkey serum overnight at 4°C. After the overnight incubation, the tumor sections were washed and were further incubated with FITC-conjugated goat antibodies against rabbit immunoglobulin G (IgG), FITC-conjugated goat antibodies against mouse IgG (Southern Biotechnology), or AF594-conjugated donkey antibodies against rabbit IgG (Life Technologies) at a 1:200 dilution or according to the manufacturer’s instructions (AF594) in 10% normal goat or donkey serum at room temperature for 1 hour. NG2 staining was performed according to a previously described protocol (42 (link)). The tumor sections were subsequently washed and mounted in medium containing DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) (Vector Labs) before being examined under a fluorescence microscope.

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.
