Individual 10-μm-thick formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) specimens of surgically resected BC tissue were placed on Leica foil membrane slides, and immunohistochemically stained by pan-cytokeratin antibody cocktails (AE1/AE3, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark, M3515). Histo/Zyme (Diagnostic BioSystems, Pleasanton, CA, USA; DBS-K046-15) was used for antigen retrieval, and VECTOR Red Alkaline Phosphatase Substrate Kit (VECTOR Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA; SK-5100) was used for visualization. LMD of the stained FFPE slides was performed using LMD7000 systems (Leica microsystems, Wetzlar, Gemany). Cancer cell clusters from the BC samples were selectively microdissected (Additional file 3: Figure S1). Normal samples obtained from adjacent normal mammary epithelia and intraductal papilloma epithelia were also microdissected. Adjacent normal epithelia from 10 patients were pooled as a single sample.

Sectioned tumors were mounted and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, human cytokeratin antibody clones AE1/AE3 (Dako North America), MMP9 antibody #3852 (Cell Signaling), and CD31 antibody (PECAM-1 M-20; Santa Cruz #sc-1506). Slides were scanned and analyzed using Aperio ImageScope Software algorithms for staining intensity (MMP9) and number of positive cell groups (CD31).

Immunohistochemistry was performed on 4-μm sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue using a Ventana Benchmark XT automated stainer (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ). The following antibodies were used: Melan-A (monoclonal mouse anti-human anti-body, A103; DAKO; 1:100), TFE3 (monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody, MRQ37, Cell Marque; prediluted), PAX8 (monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody, MRQ50, Cell Marque; prediluted), cytokeratin AE1/AE3 (monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody, AE1/AE3, Ventana; prediluted), cytokeratin 7 (monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody, OV-TL 12/30, Dako; 1:800), CAM 5.2 (monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody, BD, 1:100), Cathepsin K (monoclonal mouse anti-human antibody, 3F9, Cell marque, prediluted) and HBM45 (monoclonal mouse antihuman antibody, Dako; 1:60). The corresponding positive and negative controls were shown to be adequate.

Immunohistochemical analysis of tumors

Sections (4 μm thick) from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded blocks were prepared for IHC and Epstein-Barr encoded RNA in situ hybridization (EBER ISH). IHC was performed using a Ventana XT automated stainer (Ventana Corporation, Tucson, AZ, USA) with antibodies against CK (1:300, AE1/AE3; DAKO, Carpinteria, CA, USA), CD3 (1:100, DAKO), and CD20 (1:1600, DAKO). Every other week, there was a regular meeting with the surgeon, the pathologist, and researchers for reviewing and discussion of the histopathological characteristics of each tumour.

Histopathologic Evaluation of Neoadjuvant Therapy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The histopathologic response to neoadjuvant therapy was evaluated based on pathologic examination of resected specimens, including uterine tissue, the vaginal cuff, the parametrium, bilateral adnexa, and pelvic lymph nodes. The status of resected lymph nodes was described in terms of lymph-node involvement (involved or not involved).
The pan-cytokeratin antibody (AE1/AE3) (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) was used in immunohistochemical staining to identify any invisible residual tumor cells.

Immunohistochemical Profiling of Tumors

Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was performed on representative 4-μm-thick formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue blocks for the five cases using the Leica BOND-MAX™ system (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. We used antibodies for the ER (6F11, 1:300, Novocastra, New Castle, United Kingdom, 1:300), PR (clone 16, Novocastra, 1:1200), premelanosome protein (HMB-45, Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA, 1:80), cytokeratin (PAN CK) (AE1/AE3, Dako, 1:500), CD 20 (L26, Novocastra, 1:800), CD 3 (polyclonal, Dako, 1:300), leukocyte common antigen (CD 45 RB) (2B11 + PD7/26, Dako, 1:1000) and CD 56 (CD564, Novocastra, 1:200).

Histological Characterization of Engrafted Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The engrafted tumors were fixed with 10% phosphate-buffered formalin, and paraffin-embedded sections were stained using hematoxylin and eosin. Anti-human vimentin (Clone V9; #M0725; Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) and anti-human pancytokeratin (AE1/AE3; #M3515; Dako) antibodies were used for the confirmation of human cell-derived tumors. A staining without primary antibodies was also prepared as a control for nonspecific effects of primary antibodies. Secondary antibodies (I-VIEW DAB Universal Kit, #518100032) were purchased from Roche Diagnostics KK (Tokyo, Japan).

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.
