Tissue sections (4 µm thick) for immunohistochemistry were deparaffinized in xylene, followed by rehydration with serially decreased ethanol concentrations. Then, tissues were placed in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for antigen retrieval (95 ºC, 15 min). Endogenous peroxidase was blocked by 3% H2O2 solution for 10 min at 25 ºC. Sections were incubated with each primary antibody for 2 h at 25 ºC, washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and then incubated with secondary antibodies for 20 min at 25 ºC. Subsequently, sections were incubated with DAB substrate for 5-10 min. Anti-LC3 (ab48394, 1:800) and anti-Beclin1 (ab114071, 1:450) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). The expression of autophagy-related proteins was evaluated by measuring the percentage of positively stained cells and the staining intensity. The percentage of positively stained cells was graded as follows: 0, ≤ 5%; 1, 6-35%; 2, 36-65%; and 3, 66-100%. The staining intensity was graded as follows: 0, no staining; 1, buff; 2, yellow; and 3, brown. The final staining score was calculated by multiplying the above-obtained scores. Tumors with an immunoreactive score of 0-3 were designated as negative, whereas those with 4-9 were classified as positive. All sections were submitted to 2 pathologists for evaluation.

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.
