The detailed procedure of immunohistochemistry was described in our previous work [16 (link)]. Cell slides were incubated with primary antibody against LOXL2 (1:400, Abcam), c-JUN (1:50, Proteintech) at 4 °C overnight, and then reacted with secondary antibody conjugated with HRP (1:200, DingguoBio, Beijing). Staining intensity and the percentage of the stained tissues were scored by two independent observers. Photographs of four representative sites were captured under high-power magnification (× 200) by the Leica QWin Plus v3 software with identical setting parameters. The density of positive staining was measured by Image-Pro Plus v6.2 software (Media Cybernetics Inc., USA). Integrated optical density of the positive stains in each photograph was measured, and its ratio to the total area of each photograph was calculated.

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.
