The tissue sections were transferred directly into antigen retrieval solution (sodium citrate, pH 6.0) and then blocked with a mixture of 3% goat serum, 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), and 0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 1 h at room temperature. Subsequently, the sections (20 μm) were probed overnight with the primary antibodies at 4 °C and then incubated with the secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and the images were recorded using confocal laser scanning microscope (FV3000, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The following primary antibodies were used: Endomucin (sc-65495, SANTA CRUZ, Dallas, TX, USA) and CD31 (ab28364, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The secondary antibodies used included anti-rat Alexa Fluor 488 (4416, Cell Signaling, Boston, MA, USA) and anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 649 (BS10034, Bioworld, Dallas, TX, USA).

Unless otherwise stated, frozen sections were fixed in ice-cold acetone for 10 min followed by permeabilisation with 0.5% NP-40 for 10 min. Sections were blocked for 45 min with 1.0% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.1% Tween 20 in PBS. Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C followed by incubation with a fluorescently conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature (1:1000; Invitrogen). Primary antibodies against the following were used: α6-integrin (GoH3, Chemicon), NG2 (AB5320, Millipore), endomucin (sc-65495, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) (all 1:100).

Primary antibodies to the following proteins were used: Erg (ab92513; Abcam), NG2 (AB5320; Merck Millipore), endomucin (sc-65495; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), LYVE-1 (AF2125; R&D Systems), PROX-1 (PRB-238C; Covance), and Cleaved caspase-3 (9664S; Cell Signalling Technology). Secondary antibodies conjugated to Cy3, Cy5, or AlexaFluor 647 were from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories. For immunohistochemistry (IHC), biotinylated antibodies were from Vector Laboratories. Isolectin GS-IB4 conjugated to AlexaFluor 488 (I21411) or AlexaFluor 568 (I21412) (further referred to as IB4) was from Life Technologies. Immu-Mount mounting medium was from Thermo Scientific. AuroVist 15 nm gold nanoparticles were from Nanoprobes Inc. Rapamycin used for therapeutic studies was obtained from Merck Millipore. All chemicals, unless otherwise stated, were from Sigma-Aldrich.

Tumor Vasculature Characterization Protocol

Paraffin sections: Tumors were removed, fixed with PFA 4% for 24 h, left in PFA 1%, embedded into paraffin and sections (5 μm) were prepared.
Cryosections: Tumors were removed and frozen into TissueTek. 10 μm sections were prepared and fixed with formalin 4% (10 min, RT).
Stainings: Sections were blocked (1% BSA/PBS), incubated with primary antibodies (CD31, 553370, BD Pharmingen; endomucin, sc-65495 Santa Cruz; α-SMA C6198, Sigma) for 2 h, at RT or o/n at 4°C, washed, incubated with AlexaFluor-labeled secondary antibodies (45 min, RT, Life Technologies) and Hoechst 33342 (5 μg/ml) and mounted (Fluorsave Reagent, Calbiochem). Pictures were taken with a Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal microscope.
For evaluations of stainings, ImageJ and the particle counter plugin were used. Vessel number was determined by counting the number of vessels per mm2. Vessel size was determined by evaluating the area covered by vessels divided by the number of vessels per μm2. For the quantification of smooth muscle cell coverage of vessels, tumor sections were stained for CD31 and α-smooth muscle cell actin (α-SMA). Vessels with and without αSMA-staining were counted.

Immunohistochemistry of whole-mount samples or tissue sections was performed as described previously (Kubota et al., 2011 (link)). The primary monoclonal antibodies used were hamster anti-CD31 (MAB1398Z; 1:1,000; Chemicon), Nestin (Rat401; 1:200; BD Pharmingen), VEGFR2 (Avas12a1; 1:200; BD Pharmingen), and CD45 (30-F11; 1:500; BD Pharmingen). The primary polyclonal antibodies used were Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated anti-GFP (A21311; 1:500; Molecular Probes), Endomucin (sc-65495; 1:500; Santa Cruz), Osterix (ab22552; 1:500; Abcam), Cathepsin K (ab19027; 1:500; Abcam), and cleaved caspase 3 (9694; 1:200; Cell Signaling). Secondary antibodies used were Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated IgGs (A11034, A11006, A11055; 1:500; Molecular Probes) or Cy3/Cy5 DyLight549/DyeLight649-conjugated IgGs (711-165-152, 112-165-167, 127-165-160, 711-605-152, 112-605-167, 127-605-160; 1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch). For nuclear staining, specimens were treated with DAPI (D-1306; Molecular Probes). For in situ hybridization, mandibular sections generated in RNAse-free conditions were hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled antisense RNA probes, as described previously (Kubota et al., 2011 (link)).

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.
