Multiplex IHC Protocol for Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unstained IHC slides from standard IHC preparations were dewaxed (xylene 3 washes × 10 min), gradually rehydrated in EtOH solutions (100% 5 min, 95% 5 min, 70% 2 min), boiled in AR buffer in a microwave, then cooled to RT. Tissues were blocked in PerkinElmer antibody diluent buffer in a humidified chamber at RT for 10 min before overnight staining with primary antibodies, then stained 30 min with HRP-labelled polymeric anti-rabbit antibody. Signal amplification was achieved using Opal™ fluorophore working solutions (1: 100 dilution) at RT for 10 min then microwaved. The primary-secondary-HRP complex was stripped before repeating the steps for multiplexing staining, then mounting the slides with DAPI for 5 min. Slides were visualized using PhenoCharts v1.0.2 (Akoya Bioscience). The antibody diluent (#ARD100), amplification diluent (FP1498), Opal-520-FITC (#FP148700, 1: 100 v/v for perforin), Opal-570-TRITC (#FP148800,1: 200 v/v for NKp46, Opal-480 (#14-0808, 1:200 v/v for CD8) AR6 and AR9 buffer (AR600/900), and Opal-DAPI (FP1490) were purchased form Akoya Bioscience.

Multiplex Immunofluorescence Analysis of TLS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Multiplexed immunohistofluorescence was performed on TLS-positive cases (identified with HES and CD3/CD20 stainings) using the following antibodies CD20 (L26, Ventana), CD23 (SP23, Ventana), CD21 (2G9, Ventana), CD4 (4B12, Novocastra), CD8 (C8/144B, Dako). Bound primary antibodies were detected using OmniMap anti-Rb HRP (760-4311, Ventana) and OmniMap anti-Ms HRP (760-4310, Ventana) detection kits followed by TSA opal fluorophores (Opal 480, Opal 520, Opal 570, Opal 620 and Opal 690, Akoya Bioscience). The slides were counterstained with spectral DAPI (Akoya Bioscience) and cover-slipped. The slides were scanned using the PerkinElmer Vectra Polaris System, and the multispectral images obtained were unmixed using spectral libraries that were previously built from images stained for each fluorophore (monoplex), using the inForm Advanced Image Analysis software (inForm 2.4.1, Akoya Bioscience) combined with Opal detection kit (Akoya Bioscience).

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.
