Immunohistochemical Profiling of Brain Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ten micrometre sections of formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded tissue from the tumour TMA blocks were immunostained in a single batch. Immunohistochemistry was performed using the appropriate antigen retrieval methods for each primary antibody. Biotinylated secondary antibodies (rabbit anti‐mouse, swine anti‐rabbit and rabbit anti‐goat) were from Dako, normal serum and avidin‐biotin complex were from Vector Laboratories. Bound antibody was visualized using the avidin‐biotin‐peroxidase complex method (Vectastain Elite ABC) with 3′3 diaminobenzidine as chromogen and 0.05% hydrogen peroxide as substrate to obtain a brown precipitate. All sections were dehydrated before to be mounted in DePeX (BDH Laboratory Supplies).
The primary antibodies used were: microglia: Iba1 (all microglia‐Wako Laboratories), CD68 (phagocytic activity – clone PG‐M1, Dako); stem cell: CD133 (orb18124, Biorbyt), nestin (ab22035, Abcam), SOX2 (clone Y‐17, Santa Cruz Biotechnology); GFAP (glial acid fibrillary protein – Z0334, Dako), and Ki67 (cell proliferation – clone MIB1, Dako).

Breast Adipocyte Size and Metabolic Health

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adipocyte area reflects metabolic function; larger adipocytes are typically insulin resistant and metabolically abnormal. However, range of metabolic health has not been previously correlated with breast adipocyte area. Individual adipocytes (≥100 cells/subject) were traced by Image J, areas were recorded for four fields of view and histograms of cell size distribution were generated. ND subjects (n=11) were compared T2D subjects (n=28). To assess CLS-B frequency, 42 samples of hematoxylin and eosin stained breast adipose tissue from ND and T2D subjects were examined with blinding to metabolic status and the number of CLS/section for each subject enumerated. Adipocyte-associated CD68 was confirmed by mouse monoclonal anti-human CD68 (PG-M1, Dako), with biotinylated goat anti-mouse IgG (Dako) as secondary.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
FFPE biopsies were cut 2-3 µm thick and were incubated at 80°C for 30 minutes followed by immersing in Xylol twice for 10 minutes each following descending alcohol line for 5 minutes each. Sections blocked with 20% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) for 20 min at room temperature (RT). Single immunofluorescence was performed for GPR43 (Biozol, LSA1578-50, rabbit polyclonal). Double immunofluorescence was performed for GPR43 (Biozol, LSA6599, rabbit polyclonal) and CD68 (Dako, PG-M1, mouse monoclonal). Primary antibodies were diluted in 1% BSA and were applied to biopsy section at the dilution of 1:50 for 1 hour at RT followed by secondary antibodies Alexa Flour (AF) 488 and Alexa Flour 594 (Invitrogen) for 30 minutes (dilution 1:100) in the dark at RT. CD68 was conjugated with AF488 and GPR43 was conjugated with AF594. Sections were counterstained with DAPI and were sealed with mounting media. Biopsy sections were washed three times with PBS after every step. GPR43 positive cells were observed and images were taken at 200X magnification using Zeiss epifluorescence microscope.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of Tumor Markers

Immunohistochemical (IHC) procedures were conducted as described previously [15 (link)]. Antibodies used are PD-L1 (SP142, rabbit monoclonal, Spring Bioscience, Pleasanton, CA, USA), PD-1 (NAT105, mouse monoclonal, GeneTex, Irvine, CA, USA), CD4 (clone SP35, rabbit monoclonal, Spring Bioscience, Pleasanton, CA, USA), CD8 (clone C8/144B, mouse monoclonal, Nichirei Biosciences, Tokyo, Japan), CD68 (PG-M1, mouse monoclonal, DAKO, Tokyo, Japan), and VEGF (A-20, rabbit polyclonal, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA). For PD-L1 staining, antigen retrieval was done by autoclaving at 121 °C for 10 min in Tris/EDTA buffer (pH 9.0), and 1st antibody incubation (1:100) was conducted at 4 °C overnight. The corresponding normal endometria or stroma provided an internal positive control, and negative controls without addition of primary antibody showed low background staining.

The number of CD3+ T cells and CD68+ macrophages in glomerular and peritubular capillaries was assessed by immunoperoxidase staining. Tissue sections were incubated with rabbit polyclonal CD3 (Prediluted, clone 2GV6; Ventana, Tucsan, AZ, USA) or antihuman CD68 (1:50, clone PG-M1; DAKO, Carpenteria, CA, USA) primary antibody. Absolute numbers of intracapillary positive cells in 5 glomerular and peritubular capillaries were counted and mean number of positive cells per glomerular and peritubular capillary was presented.

Part of each biopsy was fixed in phosphate-buffered formalin, processed (Leica TP 1020, Leica Microsystems), embedded in paraffin, and cut into 5-μm-thick sections. The sections were subjected to high-temperature antigen retrieval for 10 min in EDTA buffer, pH 8, followed by blocking and incubation with antibodies against macrophages (Monoclonal mouse anti-human CD68, clone PG-M1, M0876, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), mast cells (monoclonal mouse anti-human mast cell tryptase, clone AA1, M7052, Dako), and von Willebrand factor (polyclonal rabbit anti-human von Willebrand Factor, A0082, Dako) to detect vessels. For visualization of immunoreactions, MACH3 mouse AP-polymer (M3M532) was used for macrophages and mast cells and MACH3 Rabbit AP-Polymer (M3R533) for vessels (Biocare Medical, Concord, CA). The chromogen was Warp Red (WR806, Biocare Medical). Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin, mounted, scanned with a Mirax Digital Desk Scanner (Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany), and analyzed with Tissue Studio 3.6.1 (Definiens, Munich, Germany). Macrophage and mast cell densities were expressed as the number of immunoreactive cells per 103 adipocytes. Vessel density was expressed as positive signal area per adipocyte.

Multiplex Immunofluorescence Staining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To prepare specimens for multiplex IF staining, tissue sections were cut at 4 μm from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks. All sections on slides were deparaffinized using the Bond ER2 Leica Biosystems AR9640, followed by staining with the Leica Bond RX autostainer. The slides were stained with - CD3 (1:50 SP7 Abcam ab16669), CD16 (1:50 2H7 CellSignaling Technologies 88251S), CD32b (1:2000 NovusBiologicals NBP2–89364), and CD68 (1:400 PGM-1 DAKO). Antibody binding was visualized using secondary anti-mouse/anti-rabbit polymer HRP followed with TSA-Opal reagents (Akoya NEL811001KT). Tissue slides were incubated with DAPI as a counterstain and coverslipped with VectaShield mounting media (Vector Labs). Control tissue samples were stained for each marker as positive controls.
Whole slide digital images were captured with the PhenoImager HT platform and analyzed with QuPath software24 (link). Tissue samples from consecutive slides were stained by conventional H&E and scanned with the Leica SCN400F platform. H&E slides in conjunction with Cytokeratin staining were used to annotate tumor regions within the whole slide image. Cells were segmented, phenotyped, and enumerated using the QuPath object classification algorithm.

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.
