The paraffin‐embedded tissues were subjected to antigen retrieval by microwaving in 0.01 M sodium citrate (pH 6) for 10 min after deparaffinization, hydration and endogenous peroxidase activity elimination, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with antibody against CD8 (1:100, ab101500, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or PD1 (1:300, ab137132, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Subsequently, the slides were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies (Zhongshan Goldenbridge Biotechnology, Beijing, China). The number of CD8+ and PD1+ T cells in five nonoverlapping high-power fields (400×) was counted and the average value was calculated.

Tumor sections were freshly cut to 4 mm and dipped in 4% formalin for 24 hours. Tumor sections were then embedded and cut into slices. With antigen repaired, PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (rabbit anti-human PD-L1 monoclonal, 1:200,Cell Signaling 13684; rabbit anti-human CD8 monoclonal 1:100, Abcam ab93278; mouse anti-human HPV16/18 monoclonal stoste, Abcam ab51931; rabbit anti-human PD-1 monoclonal 1:50, Abcam ab137132.rabbit anti-human IgG monoclonal 1:500, Abcam ab172730) was performed and the antibody was incubated for one night at 4℃.
PD-L1, CD8 and HPV expression was evaluated on tumor tissues. Tumor infiltrating immune cells were not identified in all cases. The proportion of PD-L1-positive cells was estimated as the percentage of total tumor cells; tumor cells typically showed membranous staining with a variably component of cytoplasmic staining.
The standard for evaluation scale of marks of the situation of dye is below: The staining intensity of immunohistochemistry was divided into 4 levels: negative, weakly positive, moderate positive, strong positive. We scored negative as 0; weakly positive as 1; moderate positive as 2; strong positive as 3.
The evaluation of the specimens was scored as the following principle:

For mice, tumor sections and commercial antibodies (Abcam, Shanghai, China, ab130039) were used for IHC staining. For patients, tumor tissue samples obtained via core needle biopsy samples obtained from primary lesions were used for IHC staining. Rabbit monoclonal antibodies against PD-L1 (28-8, Abcam, Shanghai, China, AB205921) and PD-1 (EPR4877 (2 (link)), Abcam, Shanghai, China, ab137132) were used for IHC analysis. The reaction was visualized using SignalStain Boost IHC Detection Reagent (HRP, Rabbit). Tumor expression of PD-1 or PD-L1 was considered positive when membrane staining was observed. The following semiquantitative scoring method (6-step scoring system, ‘Cologne Score’) was used for PD-1 and PD-L1: 0 (<1%), 1 (≥1% and <5%), 2 (≥5% and <10%), 3 (≥10% and <25%), 4 (≥25% and <50%), 5 (≥50% and <75%) (17 (link), 18 (link)). Tumors with a score ≥2 were graded as relatively high expression, and tumors with a score ≤1 were graded as having relatively low expression (a cut-off value of 5%). An Eclipse Ci-L photographic microscope (Nikon, Japan) and Media Cybemetics software (USA) were used to analyze tumoral expression of PD-1 and PD-L1. Two experienced pathologists were consulted to ensure the accuracy of semi-quantitative scoring approach used.

Mouse livers were collected at the specified time points, fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin for processing into 4 micron sections. Sections were rehydrated and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) (Thermo Scientific) or Sirius red and Fast green (Sigma) before pathology evaluation. Alternatively, sections were treated with heat mediated antigen retrieval with pH6 sodium citrate or pH9 Tris-EDTA buffer before staining with primary antibodies. Primary antibodies used in this study include anti-HSA (ab2406, ab19180 Abcam), anti-CD3 (ab699, Abcam), anti-CD20 (555677, BD), anti-CD68 (ab955, Abcam), anti-PD1 (ab137132, Abcam), anti-β-catenin (610154, BD), anti-glutamine synthetase (MAB302, Millipore), anti-LFABP (ab190958, Abcam), anti-IL6 (ab6672, Abcam) and anti-IL10 (ab34843, Abcam).
Immunohistochemistry staining was performed using the Superpicture 3rd Gen IHC Detection Kit (879673, Life Technologies) while immunofluorescence staining was done using anti-mouse IgG, anti-rabbit IgG or anti-Goat IgG secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexafluors 488 or 647 (Life Technologies).

Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed according to standard protocol. Briefly, paraffin-embedded samples were cut into 4 μm sections and placed on polylysine-coated slides. Paraffin sections were baked overnight at 58 °C, de-paraffinized in xylene, rehydrated through graded ethanol, quenched for endogenous peroxidase activity in 0.3 % hydrogen peroxide at 37 °C for 15 min, and processed for antigen retrieval by high pressure cooking in citrate antigen retrieval solution (pH = 6.0) for about 10 min for PD-L1 and EDTA antigen retrieval solution (pH = 8.0) for about 4 min for PD-1. Sections were incubated at 37 °C for 1.5 h with rabbit monoclonal antibodies against PD-1 (1:100, ab137132, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and PD-L1 (1:50, ab174838, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) in a moist chamber. Immunostaining was performed using the EnVision+System-HRP (AEC) (K4005, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), which resulted in a brown-colored precipitate at the antigen site. Subsequently, sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) and mounted in a non-aqueous mounting medium. All runs included a no primary antibody control.

For immunofluorescence analysis, tissues were stained with CD8 antibody (ab60076, abcam, Cambridge, USA), PD1 antibody (ab137132, abcam), SALL4 antibody (ab29112, abcam), hepatocyte specific antigen antibody (GTX73779, Genetex), CD45 antibody (MA5-17687, Thermo Scientific, Waltham,USA) and PD-L1 (ab205921, abcam) followed by Alexa Fluor 647 conjugated goat anti-rat IgG (A-21247), Alexa Fluor Plus 488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (A-32731) and Alexa Fluor Plus 555 conjugated donkey anti-mouse IgG (A-32727) (Thermo Scientific). Images were acquired on a Zeiss 710 Meta multi-photon confocal microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). To assess the immunostaining quantification, we analyzed the slides via an image analysis workstation (Image Pro Plus 6.0, Media Cybernetics). Mouse liver tissues were collected and embedded in OCT. Intrahepatic HBsAg, Pd-l1, or Sall4 expression was visualized by immunohistochemical staining with rabbit anti-mouse HBs Ab (Genetech, Shanghai, China) or rabbit anti-mouse Pd-l1 Ab (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), or anti-Sall4 Ab (abcam, cat#57577) followed by Envision System HRP detection staining (Genetech, Shanghai, China) performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Liver sections were stained with hematoxylin. Images were taken with an OLYMPUS microscope.

Immunohistochemical staining was performed on 10% formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues. Antibodies of CD16 (Anti-CD16: Abcam, ab246222, at a dilution of 1:100), CD56 (Anti-NCAM1: Abcam, ab75813, at a dilution of 1:100), IL-6 (Anti-IL6: Bioworld, MB9296, at a dilution of 1:50), and PD-1 (Anti-PD-1: Abcam, ab137132, at a dilution of 1:250) were used. By the way, in the stained sections PD-1 was negative, we predicted that there is not any PD-1 expression in the selected samples, so it was not reflected in the text. The mean gray value method was used for the quantification of immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence by ImageJ (NIH 64-bit Java 1.8.0).

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.
