Hematoxylin

Manufactured by Muto Pure Chemicals
Sourced in Japan, United States

Hematoxylin is a natural dye derived from the heartwood of the Haematoxylum campechianum tree. It is a widely used staining agent in histology and cytology laboratories. Hematoxylin stains cell nuclei and other cellular components, enabling visualization and identification of various tissue structures under a microscope.

Histological Evaluation of Muscle and Tendon

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The fixed muscles were dehydrated and embedded in paraffin. Six-micrometer-thick sections were cut. The sections were stored at 4 °C until staining. After deparaffinization and hydration of the sections, the sections underwent staining. For hematoxylin and eosin staining, the sections were stained with hematoxylin (Muto Pure Chemicals) for 3 min followed by 2 min of staining with eosin (Wako). For modified Gomori’s trichrome staining, the sections were stained with hematoxylin (Muto Pure Chemicals) for 3 min followed by 10 min of staining with modified Gomori’s trichrome staining solution (Chromotrope 2 R, 9.6 mg·mL−1; Fast green FCF, 4.8 mg·mL−1; phosphotungstic acid hydrate 9.6 mg·mL−1; and acetic acid, 16 μL [pH 3.4]). The histological images were captured, and muscle fiber width and tendon width (the minor axes) were measured using measurement software (BZ–X analyzer, Keyence).50 (link)

Tissue Distribution of SBSN Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
An antibody cross-reactivity tissue array, MNO341 (US Biomax, Rockville, MD, USA), which contained 33 tissue types mostly from surgical resection, was used to examine the tissue distribution of each peptide. The tissue preparations were deparaffinized, rehydrated, and autoclaved in pH 6.0 citric acid buffer for antigen retrieval. The preparations were blocked using an endogenous Avidin Biotin Blocking Kit (Nichirei Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan) and then incubated overnight at 4 ℃ with either anti-SBSN_HUMAN[225–237] IgG, anti-SBSN_HUMAN[243–259] IgG, anti-SBSN_HUMAN[279–295] IgG or control non-immune IgG purified from preimmune serum (1:1000 dilution). After washing in PBS, the samples were incubated with a biotinylated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:3000, Abcam) for 60 min at room temperature. Antibody binding was visualized by the avidin–biotin-complex peroxidase method using the Vectastain ABC kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) with diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (Nacalai Tesque). The tissue preparations were stained with hematoxylin (Muto Pure Chemicals CO, Tokyo, Japan)60 (link).

Example 15

Paraffin-embedded human breast cancer tissue sections were purchased from ISU ABXIS (Seoul, Korea). The tissue sections were treated with xylene for 30 minutes to remove paraffin, rehydrated with ethanol, and incubated with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 minutes. Antigen retrieval was performed in a citric acid solution (pH 6.0). The sections were blocked with normal horse serum for 30 minutes and incubated with anti-hMUC1 antibody (1 μg/slide) at room temperature for 2 hours. The sections were washed and incubated with a biotinylated anti-mouse IgG antibody (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, Calif.) for 1 hour. Then, the tissue sections were washed and incubated with HRP-streptavidin for 30 minutes. Immunoreactivity was detected using 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and the tissue sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (Muto Pure Chemicals, Tokyo, Japan). All images were examined using a microscope (Eclipse E-200, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of PDAC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A human PDAC tissue section (OriGene Technologies, Rockville, MD, USA) and a normal human pancreatic tissue section (BioChain, Newark, CA, USA) were purchased commercially. Resected pancreatic cancer tissues were embedded in an optimal-cutting-temperature (OCT) compound (Sakura Finetek Japan, Tokyo, Japan) and were frozen at −80 °C. Frozen section samples were fixed using chilled acetone (Wako Pure Chemical, Osaka, Japan). In the staining of human PDAC and normal pancreas sections, after blocking with 5% skimmed milk (Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) at room temperature for 30 min, the section was incubated with HRP-conjugated 102-10 IgG or isotype control IgG, anti-CD20 antibody for overnight at 4 °C. The staining of mouse PDAC and normal pancreas sections were conducted with VECTASTAIN Elite ABC KIT (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Endogenous biotin of pancreas was blocked by using Avidin/Biotin Blocking Kit (Vector Laboratories). All reactions were visualized using a diaminobenzidine staining reagent (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), and the samples were counterstained with hematoxylin (Muto pure chemicals, Tokyo, Japan).

For H&E staining, M0, TAM(Ca), TAM(CAF) and TAM(TAM) were seeded in the Nunc Lab-Tek II Chamber Slide system (cat. no. 154526PK; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). The subsequent steps were all performed at room temperature. The slides were gently washed twice with PBS and fixed with 90% ethanol for 15 min. Then, the slides were stained with hematoxylin (Muto Pure Chemicals Co., Ltd.) for 10 min, washed under running water for 5 min and stained with eosin Y (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) for 5 min. After washing under running water for 5 min to remove the excess dye, the slides were sealed with a coverslip and neutral resin. Differences between each group were compared under a light microscope (magnification, ×200).

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.
