Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The same tissue block used for extracting genomic DNA was selected from each case slide. Serial 3-μm thick sections were made from FFPE tissue blocks.
Tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated. After heat-induced antigen retrieval, IHC was performed using an automated immunostainer (Bond-Max, Leica MicroSystems, Wetzlar, Germany) with monoclonal antibodies against TP53 (clone DO7; dilution, 1:200) and MDM2 (clone 1B10; 1:200). Nuclei were counterstained with hematoxylin. Nuclear staining of TP53 and MDM2 protein was shown as brown granules. A positive result was defined as more than 30% of the tumor cells showing positive staining.
All slides were reviewed in a blinded manner without clinical information by two independent authors (H. I. and K.M.). When the assessment was different between the two observers, agreement was reached using a double-headed microscope. These slides were observed using a light microscope (Nikon ECLIPSE 80i, Nikon Corporation Tokyo, Japan) with a 40× field objective and 10× ocular lens corresponding to a field diameter of 550 μm for the slides.

IHC was carried out in cores from 2 μm thick TMA sections with the following antibodies and conditions: MLH1, clone ES05 (Monosan, Uden, Netherlands) at 1:80 dilution; MSH2, clone 25D12 (Novocastra/Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) at 1:40 dilution; MSH6, clone EP49 (DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark) at 1:60 dilution; and, PMS2, clone M0R4G (Novocastra/Leica Microsystems) at 1:50 dilution. All tests were performed using a Bond Max autostainer (Leica Microsystems) with diaminobenzidine as chromogen for protein-antibody complex visualization. Stains were evaluated by two pathologists (G.R. and E.V.) for all tumour and normal cores, along with external controls for assessing method performance. Each core was evaluated for nuclear staining intensity and distribution of positive cells at 200X and 400X magnification. Cases were considered as pMMR (proficient MMR) if any degree of nuclear expression was observed for all four proteins in the neoplastic cells and dMMR if no IHC nuclear expression was seen for any of the four proteins.

Tissue specimens from clinical GC samples and xenograft tumors derived from GC cells were fixed with 10% neutralbuffered formalin, and 4-μm paraffin sections were prepared. After rehydration, sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for histologic assessment, or were immunostained after antigen retrieval using a Bond-max automated immunostainer (Leica Microsystems, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK). The primary antibodies used were against FOXO1 (1:40, C29H4, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-FOXO1Ser256 (pFOXO1; 1:60, Cell Signaling Technology), CD31 (1:100, M20, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), HIF-1α (1:50, provided by Dr. Jong-Wan Park at Seoul National University), VEGF (1:200, C1, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and SIRT1 (1:100, H300, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Antibody binding was detected with the Bond Polymer Refine Detection Kit (Leica Microsystems). All immunostained sections were lightly counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin. Throughout the above analysis, negative controls were prepared by omitting the primary antibody. The results of immunostaining were evaluated by two pathologists (Y.K. and J.-S.P.), who were blinded to the origin of the samples. For statistical analysis, the results of immunostaining for proteins were considered positive if immunoreactivity was seen in ≥ 10% (cytoplasmic pFOXO1 and nuclear SIRT1) or ≥ 5% (nuclear HIF-1α) of the neoplastic cells.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of ccRCC Biomarkers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 25 antibodies were selected as (i) they are involved in the
VHL signaling pathway, (ii) they are known to be prognostic
biomarkers of ccRCC and (iii) they have been reported as markers of ccpRCCs and
RATs in a small group of ccpRCCs described in recent USCAP meetings
(2011–2014). TMA sections (2.5 μm) were transferred to glass
slides and treated using Ventana Benchmark XT, Bond-max (Leica Microsystems)
automated systems, as well as manual protocols. TMA construction was not
possible in five of the ccpRCC cases due to absence of tissue. The
immunohistochemical staining product was described as nuclear, membranous or
cytoplasmic (Table 2). The
immunohistochemistry results were interpreted as 0 (negative), 1+ (weak
staining), 2+ (moderate staining) and 3+ (strong staining). For
statistical analysis all 2+ and 3+ stainings were defined as
positive, 0 and 1+ as negative. Antibodies and protocols are listed in
Table 2.
