Paraffin

Manufactured by Boster Bio

Paraffin is a wax-like substance derived from petroleum, coal, or natural gas. It is a solid, odorless, tasteless, and inert material commonly used in various laboratory and industrial applications. Paraffin has a high melting point and is known for its ability to act as a solid support material, particularly in the field of histology and microtomy.

The clinical PC and adjacent tissues were fixed with paraformaldehyde (Servicebio, Wuhan, China), embedded in paraffin (Boster, Wuhan, China), and sectioned into 4 μm thickness. After dewaxing, rehydration, and antigen retrieval with sodium citrate (Servicebio, Wuhan, China), tumor samples were blocked using H2O2 and 5% bull serum albumin (Servicebio, Wuhan, China) for 30 min at room temperature. The specimens were incubated with primary anti-TRA2A (1:100), KI67 (1:100), anti-PCNA (1:100), and anti-HIF1α (1:100) antibodies for 12 h and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Zsjqbio.biogo; Beijing, China). Next, DAB was used to identify the antigen-antibody complex, and the samples were stained with hematoxylin to visualize the nucleus.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HCC and adjacent tissues were fixed, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin (Boster, Wuhan, China), and then were cut into 4-µm specimens. The specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (Sigma, USA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Specimens were deparaffinized using a graded series of xylene and rehydrated with a graded series of ethanol. Next, antigen retrieval was performed using sodium citrate and blocking was performed using H2O2 and BSA (Boster, Wuhan, China). The sections were then incubated with a primary anti-ODC1, anti-PKM2, anti-KI67, and anti-PCNA antibody for 16 h at 4°°C and then with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (Boster, Wuhan, China) for 2 h at room temperature. After using a Cell and Tissue Staining Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP) - Diaminobenzidine (DAB) Kit (Zhongshan Jinqiao Biotechnology Co. LTD; Beijing, China) to detect the presence of the secondary antibody, orthophoto microscopy was used to obtain images.

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.
