Double- and single-label immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed as essentially as described (13 (link)) with a primary antibody to BCL-2 (goat, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), CD45R/B220 (rat, BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA), CD138 (rat, R&D Systems), CD3 (rabbit, Thermo Scientific) or IBA1 (rabbit, Wako, Japan), followed by secondary antibodies (Vector, Burlingame, CA), Leica Bond polymer for HRP or AP (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, IL), and Deep Space Black chromogen (Biocare Medical, Concord, CA). Following hematoxylin counterstaining, cells were imaged using a Zeiss Axioskop 2 microscope (Thornwood, NY).
IgG IF was performed with anti-mouse IgG Alexa 488 secondary antibody (chicken, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or IgY (IgG) -488 (chicken, Jackson ImmunoResearch) and semiquantitatively scored as previously described (23 (link)).
