Tissue specimens of 10 μm thickness were cut, mounted on slides, and stored at −80 °C prior to immunofluorescence (IF) staining. The slides were fixed with ice-cold methanol for 10 mins, followed by PBS washing and permeabilizing in 0.2% PBS-triton for 15 mins. After PBS washing three times, the sections were blocked for 30 mins before overnight incubation with the antibodies (α-Sma, ThermoFisher SCIENTIFIC; Cd31, BioLegend; pan-keratin, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). A mounting reagent (ProlongTM Glass Antifade Mountant, Invitrogen, ThermoFisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to cover the slides.

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.
