The tissue is fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, and then cut into thin slices. The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and hydrated with ethanol, and then the antigen was recovered by pressure cooking. At room temperature, the sections were sliced with TNC primary antibody (ab108930, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), MMP9 (Abcam, ab76003, 1:1000 dilution), MMP2 (Abcam, ab92536, 1:1000 dilution) and CD31 (ab134168, Abcam), incubated for 60 min and then incubated with IgG H&L (HRP; 1:200 dilution, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Then, the sections were stained with chromogen and counterstained with hematoxylin. The score is based on the intensity of staining (0 means no staining, 1 means weak staining, 2 means moderate staining, and 3 means strong staining). The product of the two levels was calculated as the final expression score.

Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the expression of CMTM7, CD34, CD31, and Ki-67 in the tissues. Cancer tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde phosphate buffer for 12 h, dewaxed with xylene and hydrated with gradient alcohol (anhydrous ethanol, 95% ethanol and 75% ethanol for 3 min each). The tissues were heated in 0.01 M citrate buffer solution for 15–20 min, and cooled to room temperature, followed by washing with PBS. Thereafter, the tissues were probed with 30 μL primary antibodies against CMTM7 (PA5-103744, 1:200, Thermo Fisher), CD34 primary antibody (ab81289, 1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CD31 primary antibody (ab134168, 1:100, Abcam) and Ki-67 primary antibody (ab15580, 1:200,Abcam), and then re-probed with 30 μL of secondary antibody goat anti-rabbit IgG (ab6721, 1:2000, Abcam) for 1 h at room temperature. After PBS washing, streptavidin-peroxidase was added dropwise to the tissues and placed at 37 °C for 30 min, followed by DAB development for 5–10 min. Following tap water washing for 10 min, the tissues were counterstaining with hematoxylin for 2 min, differentiated with hydrochloric acid alcohol, dehydrated, cleared and mounted before microscopic observation.

Paraffin sections of formalin‐fixed samples were cut into 5 um thick sections and analyzed using an immunohistochemistry kit (Neobioscience, Wuhan, China). All sections were first incubated with IL-15 primary antibody at a 1:100 dilution (ab7213, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4 °C overnight. The sections were then incubated with reagent B from the kit and finally, sections were stained with DAB working reagent for 2 to10 min depending on the degree of stain required and the cell nucleus stained with hematoxylin.
For immunofluorescence, all sections were first incubated with IL-15 primary antibody (ab7213, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in combination with CK7 (YM3054, Immunoway, Beijing, China) or Vimentin (ab92547, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or CD31 (1:150, ab134168, Abcam, UK) at 4 °C overnight. Then, the sections were incubated with a secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 594 Donkey Anti rabbit IgG or Alexa Fluor 488 Donkey Anti mouse IgG (Antgene, Wuhan, China). The DNA dye-4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), was used for nucleus staining. In the control experiments, primary antibodies were omitted. Images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (Olympus BX53, Tokyo, Japan) and the mean values of area-integrated optical densities analyzed using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Denver, USA).

Each FFPE eye was cut into multiple 4-μm sections in the area of the central tumor cross-section. One section per tumor was then stained with PAS without hematoxylin counterstain. The other four sections were pretreated in EDTA buffer at pH 9.0 for 20 min, and incubated with mouse monoclonal antibodies against BAP-1 (sc-28383; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) at dilution 1:40, against CD31 (ab134168; Abcam PLC, Cambridge, UK) at dilution 1:400, against laminin (m063801–2; Dako, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) at dilution 1:20, and against CD68 (M087601–2, Dako) at dilution 1:200, according to the manufacturers’ instructions. A red chromogen was used. Finally, the slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and rinsed with deionized water. The deparaffinization, pretreatment, primary staining, secondary staining and counterstaining steps were run in a Bond III automated immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) stainer (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). The dilutions were gradually titrated until optimal staining was achieved, according to manual control. All slides were then digitally scanned at 40X, using a Nano Zoomer 2.0 HT (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K., Hamamatsu, Japan) at the Winship Research Pathology Core Laboratory, Winship Cancer institute of Emory University (Atlanta, GA).

IHC staining was performed as reported previously35 (link). The expression level of TNC in glioma tissues was scored as the proportion of the area with positive staining (0–100%) multiplied by the staining intensity (0, negative; 1, weak; 2, moderate; 3, intense). The scores were determined by two pathologists independently. The median score was chosen as the cut-off value for defining high and low expression. Sections were probed with primary anti-TNC (ab108930, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), anti-CD31 (ab134168, Abcam), anti-pAkt (4060P, Cell Signaling Technologies [CST], Danvers, MA,), anti-matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 (ab86607, CST), and anti-MMP9 (ab76003, Abcam) antibodies overnight at 4 °C, and the antibodies were detected using the DAB system (Golden Bridge, Beijing, China).

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.
