Ex vivo immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate changes in morphology as well as BRAFV600E and VEGFR expression in BHT-101 tumors. Mice bearing BHT-101 tumors were treated with onalespib and/or sorafenib as previously described (n = 12). When tumors reached a size of 1000 mm3 or day 25 (endpoint of experiment), tumors were collected and fixed in 4% buffered formalin and transferred to 70% ethanol. Tumor tissues were paraffin embedded, sectioned, and deparaffinized. Immunohistochemical stainings were performed on FFPE sections using fully automated protocols (DAKO Autostainer Link48) and Envision FLEX, high pH detection kit from DAKO #K8000. The following antibodies were used: BRAF V600E (Sigma Aldrich, #SAB560047, rabbit monoclonal, clone RM8, diluted 1:2000) and VEGFR3 (abcam, #ab27278, polyclonal, diluted 1:400). Immunohistochemical sections were manually scored according to staining intensity (negative −, weak +, moderate ++, or strong  +++).

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.
