Harris modified hematoxylin

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Harris Modified Hematoxylin is a staining solution used in histology and cytology laboratories. It is a nuclear stain that highlights the nuclei of cells, allowing for the visualization and differentiation of cellular structures. The solution contains hematoxylin, which is a natural dye extracted from the heartwood of the Logwood tree, and other components that enhance the staining process. The stain is commonly used in various tissue preparation and analysis techniques.

Same as above. HIER was performed by immersing the tissue sections at 98 °C for 20 min in Envision FLEX High pH retrieval solution from Dako/Agilent (K8004). Briefly, slides were treated as described above, and exposed to primary antibodies for CD4+T cells (1:600, Abcam ab183685) for 1 h at room temperature. Slides were exposed to an anti-rabbit HRP labeled polymer for 30 min and DAB chromagen (Dako/Agilent) for 5 min. Slides were counterstained with Hematoxylin (Fisher, Harris Modified Hematoxylin), blued in 1% ammonium hydroxide, dehydrated, and mounted with Acrymount. Consecutive sections with the primary antibody omitted were used as negative controls.

TMAs of patient tissue samples were stained using anti-ASPH monoclonal antibody (1/100 dilution) and the DAB chromogen kit following the manufacturer’s instructions. Slides were counterstained with Hematoxylin (Fisher, Harris Modified Hematoxylin), blued in 1% ammonium hydroxide, dehydrated, and mounted with Acrymount. Consecutive sections with the primary antibody omitted were used as negative controls. All TMAs were scanned with the Aperio image scope (Aperio GT450) and scored by a pathologist. Staining intensities were classified as 0  =  negative, 1  =  weak, 2  =  moderate, and 3  =  strong. The proportion of positive tumor epithelial cells was assessed, and the staining distribution was classified as 0  =  no cells, 1  =  1–25% of cells, 2  =  26–50% of cells, and 3  > 50% of cells. Positive fibroblast cells in the stromal compartments were evaluated separately using the same scoring criteria.

Cryosectioned tissues were brought to room temperature and immersed in acidified Harris modified hematoxylin (Fisher Scientific) for 5 min. Sections were then washed with running tap water until the water ran clear. Slides were incubated in Gomori trichrome stain (12.8 mM Chromotrope 2R (Sigma), 3.7 mM Fast green FCF (Sigma), 2.1 mM phosphotungstic acid (Sigma), 0.2 M acetic acid (Fisher), deionized water, pH 3.4) for 20 min at room temperature. Excess stain was removed with two quick rinses in freshly made 0.2% acetic acid, and slides immediately placed in 95% ethanol. Tissues were then dehydrated in ascending concentrations of ethanol, cleared and mounted as described above.

A detailed description of lectin histochemistry was described previously [35 (link)]. Briefly, the tissue microarray (TMA) slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated through a series of ethanol and water washes. The endogenous peroxidase was blocked using 3% hydrogen peroxide (Sigma Aldrich; St. Louis, MO, USA), followed by an antigen retrieval step (Dako; Santa Clara, CA, USA). Then the tissues were fixed with 4% formaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.5% IGEPAL CA-630 (Fisher Scientific; Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Before lectin staining, the TMA slides were blocked with serum-free protein block (Dako) followed by 0.5 μg/mL biotinylated recombinant AALN224Q lectin with enhanced binding to core-fucosylated structures [2 (link),27 (link)] for 30 min in a humidified chamber. Then, the biotinylated lectin was detected with streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (Vector Laboratory, Burlingame, CA, USA) and developed with 3.3′-diaminobezidine (DAB) chromogen (Dako). The counterstain was performed with Harris-modified hematoxylin (Fisher Scientific). The image was taken using Hamamatsu Nanozoomer slide scanner, performed by Winship Core Pathology Lab in Emory University, Atlanta, GA, USA, and quantified using the Positive Pixel signal algorithm by Aperio ImageScope, Leica Biosystems Inc, Buffalo Grove, IL, USA.

NRIP1 Immunohistochemistry Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples from back skin (3 mm diameter) were excised and fixed overnight in 10% neutral buffered formalin, then transferred to PBS (pH 7.4), and embedded in paraffin. Sections (4 μm thick) of each specimen were cut for H&E staining and IHC study.
Tissue slides were deparaffinized with xylene and then rehydrated with decreasing ethanol concentrations. Antigen retrieval was conducted by boiling-bath method in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0 to about 95°C, and then slides were put in the buffer for 15 min. Blocking solution was used to prevent nonspecific binding of antibodies. Sections were incubated with polyclonal anti-NRIP1 antibody (SCBT, Santa Cruz, CA, 1:50 dilution) at 4°C overnight. HRP Detection System (Dako EnVision System HRP; Dako North America, Inc. Carpinteria, CA), was used for detection. After counterstaining with hematoxylin (Harris Modified Hematoxylin, Fisher Scientific, Fairlawn, New Jersey), the sections were dehydrated and mounted. The specific staining of NRIP1 in the sections was examined microscopically (Olympus, Center Valley, PA, USA).

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.
