AR-V7 and AR-FL IHC was performed as previously described (30 (link), 31 (link)). Briefly, AR-V7 IHC was performed using recombinant rabbit monoclonal anti–AR-V7 antibody (Clone RM7, RevMAb Biosciences). Biopsies were first deparaffinized before antigen retrieval by microwaving (in Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 8.1) for 18 minutes at 800 W, and anti–AR-V7 antibody (1:500 dilution in Dako REAL diluent, Agilent Technologies) was incubated with tissue for 1 hour at room temperature. After washes, bound antibody was visualized using Dako EnVision Detection System (Agilent Technologies). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Cell pellets from 22Rv1 (positive) and PC3 (negative) were used as controls. Rabbit IgGs were used as a further negative control. AR-FL IHC was performed using mouse monoclonal anti-AR antibody (AR441, Agilent Technologies). Biopsies were first deparaffinized before antigen retrieval using pH 8.1 Tris/EDTA solution heated in a water bath, and anti-AR antibody (1:1,000 dilution in Dako REAL diluent, Agilent Technologies) was incubated with tissue for 1 hour at room temperature. After washes, bound antibody was visualized using Dako EnVision Detection System (Agilent Technologies). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Cell pellets from VCaP (positive) and PC3 (negative) were used as controls. Mouse IgGs were used as a further negative control.

All specimens were fixed with formalin, embedded by paraffin and cut into 4 μm sections. Tissue slices were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining or immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining using the two-step method of Dako Envision™ Detection System (DakoCytomation, Glostrup, Denmark). Briefly, tissue slices were incubated with primary antibodies (listed in Additional file 2: Table S2) after deparaffinized, rehydrated and antigen retrieval routinely. All stained slides were reviewed independently by two pathologists. Semi-quantitative analysis of IHC results was described previously [26 (link)]. In brief, IHC score was calculated by multiplying staining intensity score (score of 0, 1, 2 and 3 represented negative, weak-positive, moderate-positive and strong-positive, respectively) and the score of relative positive-staining area (score of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 indicated positive-staining areas of 0–5%, 6–25%, 26–50%, 51–75% and 76–100%, respectively). IHC score more than 2 was defined as high expression, while the others represented low expression (Additional file 3: Figure S1).

After incubation with the corresponding second antibody, the slides were visualized with a DAKO EnVision Detection System (Dako). In situ hybridization (ISH) was performed to detect the EBV encoded small RNA (EBER) in FFPE tissue slides as previously described.3 (link)

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In line with our previous study,30 (link) briefly, formalin-fixed PCa tissue sections were paraffinized in xylene and hydrated in a diluted alcohol series. Then, antigen retrieval was accomplished with sodium citrate buffer (10 mM, pH 6.0) using a microwave for 10 min. After that, the sections were immersed in H2O2 (0.3%) for 15 min to reduce activity of endogenous peroxidase. Following blocking with goat serum, the sections were incubated with corresponding primary antibodies (anti-PD-L1: Cell Signaling Technology (CST) #13684; anti-B7-H3: CST, #14058; anti-HHLA2: clone 566.129 (link); anti-CD8: CST, #85336; anti-Foxp3: CST, #12653) at 4℃ overnight. Then, after washing for three times using phosphate buffered saline (PBS), the sections were subsequently incubated with secondary antibody for 1 hour. Finally, the sections were visualized using a DAKO EnVision Detection System (Dako) and counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining for B7-H3 was interpreted by two pathologists in a blinded manner. Representative 4-μm-thick, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE), resected specimens were placed onto the glass slides after deparaffinization, rehydration, antigen retrieval, endogenous peroxidase inactivation, and blocking of nonspecific binding. B7-H3 was stained overnight at 4°C using the D9M2l rabbit monoclonal antibody (1:200, clone D9M2l, catalog 14058s, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, United States ). Finally, the reaction products were imaged using a DAKO EnVision Detection System (Dako), and hematoxylin was used for counterstaining.

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.
