Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining procedure was optimized as described previously (37 (link)) using the non-biotin-polymerized horseradish peroxidase (HRP) system (BioGenex Laboratories, San Ramon, CA). Briefly, intestinal tissue sections from each pig were deparaffinized and rehydrated in graded ethanol to PBS (pH 7.4). Antigen retrieval and unmasking were performed by treatment with 0.05% pronase E (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 20 min. The endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with 3% hydrogen peroxide (Sigma) for 20 min. Then, the sections were incubated in Power Block solution (BioGenex) for 30 min at room temperature. Mouse monoclonal antibody anti-PEDV nucleocapsid protein (N) (SD6-29; a gift from E. Nelson and S. Lawson, South Dakota State University) was applied to each section at 4°C overnight. After two washes in PBS, a commercial Super Sensitive IHC detection system (BioGenex) was used. Finally, these sections were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin (BioGenex) and dehydrated, and coverslips were added. The IHC signal of PEDV antigen was scored as 0 to 3 according to the percentage of villous enterocytes within the section showing a positive signal. Scores were as follows: 0 indicated that there were no positive cells and 1, 2, and 3 indicated that <30%, 30 to 60%, and >60% of villous enterocytes showed a positive signal, respectively.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In total, 31 human ovarian cancer surgical specimens were obtained from the archives of the Department of Pathology, National Taiwan University Hospital. This study was approved by the National Taiwan University Hospital Research Ethics Committee. For IHC, 4 µm paraffin‐embedded sections were stained using the Super Sensitive™ IHC Detection System (BioGenex) according to the manufacturer's directions. Anti‐integrin α3 (MAB1952Z, Merck) and anti‐laminin antibody (ab17107, Abcam) were diluted to 1:100 and incubated with tissue sections overnight. Samples with less than 1% positive cells were considered as negative staining. The intensity of staining in positive cases was graded as weak, moderate, or strong. Staining was evaluated by a pathologist, Dr. Kuo, K‐T.

Sections of tissue sample were deparaffinized and rehydrated. Antigen retrieval was performed by heating slides in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 40 min. Endogenous peroxidase activity was inactivated by 3% hydrogen peroxide. The slides were then blocked with 0.005 g/mL bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 min, and primary antibodies were added. After incubating with primary antibodies, the sections were examined using the Super Sensitive IHC detection system (Biogenex, CA, USA) with 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) chromogen and counterstained with hematoxylin. Slides in the absence of primary antibody were used as negative controls.

After fixation in 10% formalin for 24 hr, the pancreas tissues were sliced and embedded in paraffin. Then, tissue was sectioned at 3 to 4 µm thickness. The section slide was de-waxed, further sequentially treated with 100, 95, 80, and 70% ethanol, and then heated to activate the antigen. After washing with PBST (phosphate-buffered saline mixed with Tween 20, 100: 0.05), the tissues were stained with a Super Sensitive™ IHC detection system (BioGenex, USA). Then, the signals were revealed by DAB Quanto Chromogen with Substrate (1:30). The insulin positive areas (IPAs) were observed under a microscope. IPA diameters larger than 20 µm and smaller than 20 µm were counted in triplicate on the anterior, median and posterior sides of the pancreas, and the IPA value represented the mean value of 9 counts.

For immunohistochemistry 3 μm paraffin sections were deparaffinized in xylol and re-hydrated in a descending alcohol series. Antigen retrieval was achieved by heating for 15 min at 89 °C in citrate-buffer (pH 6.0). Intrinsic biotin and avidin binding sites were blocked with Avidin-Biotin Blocking Kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingham, CA), endogenous peroxidase-activity with Hydrogen-Peroxide Block (15 min, RT; Thermo Scientific, Fremont, CA) and unspecific background was reduced with Ultra-Vision Block (5 min, RT; Thermo Scientific, Fremont, CA, USA). Slides were incubated with primary antibodies as previously described (clone TR1.02; Ganten et al., 2009 [23 (link)]). Bound antibodies were detected by a Super Sensitive IHC Detection System (BioGenex, San Ramon, USA). For color development, a Fast Red system (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany) was used. Washing steps were done with Tris-buffered saline supplemented with Tween (TBST). All slides were counterstained with hemalum and cover slipped.

Tissue sections (5 μm) were de-paraffinized in xylene, rehydrated in ethanol, incubated in 0.3% H2O2 in methanol for 20 min to block endogenous peroxidase activity; 3% BSA was used to block non-specific staining. The sections were washed with 1X PBS and incubated with rabbit anti-human LASP-1 (1:50 v/v) overnight (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Biosource, CA, USA). The biotinylated secondary antibodies were added for 15 min (Super Sensitive IHC Detection Systems, BioGenex, San Ramon, CA, USA). After extensive washing, the sections were incubated with horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC complex) for 15 min. The chromogen DAB was used to localize the peroxidase in tissues. The slides were counterstained with H&E and analyzed with an optical microscope at ×10, ×40 and ×60 magnification.

Ten sections of knee joints spanning 200 μm were Safranin-O stained. Articular cartilage destruction was evaluated, according to the guideline of Osteoarthritis Research Society International [51 (link)]. Synovitis was graded using a 0–3 scoring system, with 0 = normal, 1 = moderate, and 3 = severe degeneration. Immunoreactivity was examined using Utx (ab253183, Abcam), H3K27me3 (ab6002; Abcam), Tfam (SC166965; Santa Cruz), Igf2 (ab9574; Abcam), Ezh2 (ab283273, Abcam), Eed (ab264566, Abcam), Suz12 (ab126577, Abcam), and Super Sensitive™ IHC Detection Systems (BioGenex Laboratories).

The tumor tissues were collected and placed in 4% PFA solution, fixed for 24 h, dehydrated through a gradient of ethanol, and embedded into paraffin blocks for immunohistochemistry. The paraffin blocks were cut to 4 µm sections and mounted onto microscope slides for analysis. For antigen retrieval, the slides of tumor sections were incubated with antigen unmasking solution (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) at 80 °C for 1 h. Endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched using 3% H2O2 in 10% methanol. Each slide was incubated in 2% blocking buffer (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) for 1 h, and then incubated with a RacGAP1 primary antibody (Proteintech) overnight. Super Sensitive IHC Detection Systems (BioGenex, Fremont, CA, USA) were used to amplify the signal. Sections were stained with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) secondary antibodies. After two washes, the slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Muto Pure Chemicals, Tokyo, Japan). Positive staining was scored using the following formula: (r3/t) × 3 + (r2/t) × 2 + (r1/t) × 1, where t is the total area of tumor tissue for a whole tumor section, r3 is the total area of high-intensity staining (intensity 3), r2 is the total area of medium intensity staining (intensity 2), and r1 is the total area of weak intensity staining (intensity 1).

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.
