The sections were deparaffinized in xylene, hydrated in graded ethanol, and washed for 5 min in tap water. The sections were rinsed in distilled water and treated for antigen retrieval using a citrate buffer. Then, immunohistochemical analysis using a Vectastain ABC Kit (Vector Laboratories, USA) was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions, and the sections were incubated with normal blocking serum and the primary antibodies LC3 (#3868; Cell Signaling Technology, USA) and p62 (ab56416; Abcam, UK) overnight. The next day, the sections were incubated for 1 h with a biotinylated secondary antibody. The sections were examined using the ImmPACT NovaRED peroxidase substrate (Sk‐4805; Vector Laboratories, USA).

Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated in a graded series of alcohol. Antigens were retrieved with 0.01 M citrate buffer (pH 6.0) by heating the samples in a microwave oven for 10 min. The tissue sections were then placed in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 5 min to inactivate endogenous peroxidase, and blocked for 30 min with normal horse serum (VECTASTAIN Elite ABC kit; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). The primary antibody used for this study was anti-Hsp90 antibody (Cell Signaling). Pre-diluted primary antibodies were applied overnight at 4°C. The slides were then treated with biotinylated secondary antibody for 30 min at room temperature, followed by immPACT NovaRED Peroxidase substrate (Vector Laboratories) for 5 min at room temperature.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on FFPE tissue as describe before47 (link). In short antigens were retrieved using a citrate buffer (Retrieval solution, cat. no. S1699, pH 6, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) in a steamer at 100 °C for 30 minutes. Antibodies used in this study are listed in Supplementary Table S1. Samples were incubated for 1 hour with an HLA-A specific antibody (clone EP1395Y, Abcam, Bristol, UK) diluted 1:1000 in antibody diluent (Dako). After incubation with a biotinylated secondary antibody and addition of streptavidin peroxidase, the detection was obtained using ImmPACT NovaRED Peroxidase Substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Three independent investigators (CR, DS, JCB) classified the staining intensity on a scale from zero to three and the percentage of HLA-A positive cells as follows: 0% = 0, 1–25% = 1, 26–50% = 2, 51–75% = 3, >75% = 4. The HLA-A staining score was calculated by multiplying the score for staining intensity with the percentage of positive cells (min = 0, max = 12).

Tissues were fixed in formalin for 24 hours and paraffin-embedded. Four micron sections were deparaffinized and antigen retrieval was performed with either citrate buffer, pH 6 (for Ki67) or Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9 (for caspase-3, CD3 and CD31). Sections were boiled in retrieval buffer for 20 minutes, then cooled for 20 minutes. Using an automated slide stainer (Dako Australia, North Sydney, NSW, Australia) sections were quenched with hydrogen peroxide, incubated with primary antibody then secondary antibody (K4003, Dako) and revealed with diaminobenzidine (Dako) or ImmPact NovaRed Peroxidase Substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Sections were counterstained in Mayer's hematoxylin. Primary antibodies were: Ki67 (ab66155, Abcam, final dilution 1:250), cleaved caspase-3 (CST9661, Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, final dilution 1:300), CD3 (A0452, Dako, final dilution 1:400) and CD31 (ab28364, Abcam, final dilution 1:100). Images were analyzed using CellProfiler, Broad Institute, MA [59 (link)], quantifying the number of positively stained pixels or total number of cells, identified by hematoxylin staining and the number of diaminobenzidine- or ImmPact NovaRed-positive cells present in the images. See Supplementary Methods for further details.

Mouse livers were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, paraffin embedded, and sliced into 5 μm sections. Endogenous peroxidases were quenched using 0.3% hydrogen peroxide solution followed by blocking using 2.5% goat serum. Mouse anti‐human mitochondrial IgG (1:1,000; Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, www.emdmillipore.com) and horseradish Peroxidase‐Conjugated goat anti‐mouse IgG (1:2,000; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, vectorlabs.com) were used as primary and secondary antibodies, respectively. Bound antibodies were visualized using a peroxidase detection kit (ImmPACTNovaRED Peroxidase Substrate; Vector).

Keloid biopsies were acquired and immediately fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 30 min. The specimens were then embedded in paraffin. Each slide was cut into 5-μm-thick sections. The slides were stained with different primary antibodies for immunohistochemistry, including mouse anti-E-cadherin (ab1416; 1:1,000), rabbit anti-vimentin (Ab92547; 1:1,000) (both from Abcam, Cambridge, UK), mouse anti-fibronectin (sc-8422; 1:400; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and mouse anti-HIF-1α antibodies (610958; 1:400; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). All slides were incubated in biotin-labeled goat anti-rabbit (sc-45101) or goat anti-mouse (sc-395764) serum (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) for 0.5 h, and detection was carried out using the VECTASTAIN Universal ABC-Alkaline Phosphatase kit with ImmPACT NovaRED Peroxidase Substrate (Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA).

Immunostaining was performed as previously described.31 (link) Briefly, 4 µm sections (intervening levels between the sections used for pathology scoring) from 5 to 8 randomly selected mice from each group, were dewaxed, rehydrated and digested with 500 U/mL bovine testicular hyaluronidase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) before overnight incubation with polyclonal rabbit anti-rat matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 that cross reacts with mouse32 (link) (LSBio, LS-B3168, 1.5 µg/mL), in Dako antibody diluent (#S0809, Agilent Technologies) or isotype-matched IgG. For immunodetection, Dako EnVision+System HRP labelled polymer detection kit (Dako) was used with ImmPACT NovaRED Peroxidase Substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, California, USA), counterstained by Mayer’s haematoxylin and Scott’s bluing solution, and digital images acquired (Nano Zoomer). All samples were stained simultaneously to exclude between-run variability. The number of MMP-13 positive chondrocytes in anterior, central and posterior regions of tibial and femoral non-calcified and calcified cartilage (demarcated by tidemark) were counted (average from two independent scorers), summed and presented as either total tibial, femoral or tibiofemoral. The percentage of a standard ROI in the anterior tibial synovial fossa stained for MMP-13 was quantified using ImageJ.

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.
