Immunohistochemical Analysis of NANOG

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For immunohistochemistry, 3-4 μm thick slides were cut from FFPE tissue blocks, followed by automated antigen retrieval (BenchMark ULTRA, Ventana, Tuscon, AZ, USA) and staining with commercially available anti-NANOG antibodies (Cell Signaling, cat no. 4903, dilution 1 : 200) (Merck, Kenilworth, New Jersey, USA). Reactions were visualized by incubation with peroxidase and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (OptiVIEW DAB Detection Kit, Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and then counterstained with hematoxylin. Negative controls omitting the primary antibody binding were included in every run of samples. Testicular seminoma served as a positive control.
We evaluated the extent of positive reaction semiquantitatively (negative-0%, below 25%, between 25 and 50%, between 50 and 75%, and above 75%), intensity (weak, moderate, and strong), and staining pattern (nuclear, cytoplasmic staining, or both).

Fused-USgFNAC Cytology and Immunohistochemistry for Head and Neck Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cytological results in nodes for which Fused-USgFNAC was performed were refereed as reference standard. Part of the FNAC material was processed in smears, air-dried and stained with Giemsa stain. Another portion of every aspirate was fixed in 10 mL 4% formalin and embedded in paraffin for further immunohistochemistry examination if deemed necessary, according to routine diagnostic workup. All samples were evaluated by experienced head and neck pathologists in a clinical setting and the cytological results were used retrospectively. HPV status was assessed immunohistochemically on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples from tumor biopsies or resections during standard routine diagnostic procedures. Antibodies for p53 (DO-7, 1/7000, DAKO) and p16 (E6H4; ready to use, Ventana Medical systems/Roche/Arizona, USA) were used in a Benchmark ULTRA autostainer (Ventana Medical systems). Reactions were detected using the OptiView DAB Detection kit (#760-700; Roche) for visualization of p16 and p53. Finally, the slides were counterstained with Hematoxylin II and Bluing Reagent (Ventana Medical Systems).

Automated Immunohistochemistry for Androgen Receptor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical staining was performed by an automated slide staining instrument BenchMark ULTRA (Ventana Medical System/Roche, Tucson, Arizona, United States). For immunohistochemistry, slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated. AR antibody clone M AR 441 (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) was used as primary antibody. For detection of the AR, tissues were pretreated by heat antigen retrieval with a Cell Conditioner 1 solution (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) for 64 min with protease 1 (Roche). AR antibodies were diluted 1:200 in an antibody-diluent and incubated for 32 min at 37 °C in the platform. For visualization, the indirect biotin-free OptiView DAB Detection Kit (Roche) was used. The slides were counterstained and mounted. Internal controls served as positive controls for AR.
In microscopic assessment, AR staining was distributed homogeneously. Expression was quantified according to a modified scoring system, which has already been used for assessment of AR immunoreaction. Diversity of positive cells was classified to a score 0–5 [23] (link) by a researcher blinded for diabetes status.

Whole tumour sections were used for fibulin-2 staining. Slides were placed on the Ventana Benchmark Ultra automated immuno-stainer (Roche) and dewaxed. Heat-induced epitope retrieval was performed with Ventana`s Ultra CC1 retrieval solution for 56 minutes at 99°C followed by incubation with a rabbit polyclonal anti-fibulin-2 antibody (Thermo Fisher, product number PA5-51665 and lot number A35146) at a 1:200 dilution in Ventana Antibody Diluent (251–018) for 32 minutes at 36°C. Presence of the antigen was visualized by using the OptiView DAB detection kit (Roche).

HER2 Immunohistochemistry and In Situ Hybridisation Scoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For HER2 IHC, the primary antibody was rabbit monoclonal RTU clone 4B5 (Ventana, Roche) with antigen retrieval: 32 min CC1, incubation time 24 min. and Optiview DAB detection kit, according to the manufacturer. HER2 IHC was scored positive when distinct membranous staining was observed in at least 10% of the tumour cells and was categorised by staining intensity (1+ to 3+). In addition, the H score (0–300) was calculated.
For HER2 in situ hybridisation (ISH), the dual colour HER2/Ch17 DISH or the mono colour HER2 SISH kit from Ventana were used according to instruction from the manufacturer. The mean number of HER2 copies per nucleus was calculated after counting 40 tumour cell nuclei. The copy number variation (CNV) was distributed in three categories: 1–4, 5–10, and >10. The ratio with Ch17 was not used because the Ch17 copy number could not be calculated for the complete set of samples.
All biopsies were centrally reviewed prior to study inclusion by one of two experienced thoracic pathologists (E.T. or K.M.).

For histological examination of brains, tissue was fixed in 4% formaldehyde for at least 12 h. The tissue was dehydrated, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 2 μm according to standard protocols. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stainings were applied according to standard protocols. 3,3’-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) stainings were performed on a Ventana Benchmark system using the ultraView or OptiView DAB detection kit (all Roche Diagnostics, Basel, CH). The following antibodies were used: Cleaved Caspase-3 (CC-3): Cell Signaling #9664, RRID:AB_2070042 (1:100); GFP: Abcam #ab290, RRID:AB_303395 (1:500); Ki67: Abcam #ab15580, RRID:AB_443209 (1:100); MYC: Zeta Corporation #Z2734RL (1:25); Nestin: Abcam #ab221660, RRID:AB_2909415 (1:2000); NeuN: Merck #MAB377, RRID:AB_2298772 (1:50); OLIG2: Merck #AB9610, RRID:AB_570666 (1:200); SMARCA4: Abcam #ab110641, RRID:AB_10861578 (1:25); and SOX2: Abcam #92,494, RRID:AB_10585428 (1:200).

Automated Immunohistochemical NANOG Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Commercially available anti-NANOG antibody (Cell Signaling, cat no. 4903, dilution 1:200) (Merck, Kenilworth, New Jersey, USA) was used for immunohistochemistry. Automated antigen retrieval and staining (BenchMark ULTRA, Ventana, Tuscon, AZ, USA) were performed on unstained 4 µm thick slides cut from FFPE tissue blocks. Visualization of reaction was provided by peroxidase and 3,3′-diaminobenzidine incubation (OptiVIEW DAB Detection Kit, Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and after counterstaining with hematoxylin. Every run of the samples included a positive control (testicular seminoma) and negative controls omitting the primary antibody binding.
Using semi-quantitative approach, we evaluated the extent of staining (negative—score 0, below 25%—score 1, between 25 and 50%—score 2, between 50 and 75%—score 3 and above 75%—score 4). We also evaluated the intensity of staining (negative—score 0, weak—score 1, moderate—score 2, strong—score 3) and staining pattern (nuclear, cytoplasmic staining or both). We calculated the combined immunohistochemical score by multiplying the intensity and the extent scores.

Automated classical immunohistochemical (IHC) stains were performed using the Benchmark ULTRA (Roche, Ventana Medical Systems, Innovation Park Drive Tucson, Arizona 85755, USA) on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections (3 μm). After dewaxing, tissue slides were heat pretreated using a CC1 (pH8) buffer (05424569001, Roche) for 64 min at 98 °C. The slides were blocked for endogenous peroxidase activity and incubated with primary anti–2019-nCOV Spike rabbit polyclonal (A20022, ABclonal, Diagomics, Blagnac, France) (1/100 in Envision FLEX antibody diluent, K800621-2, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA 95051, USA) and anti–SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid mouse monoclonal (Ready to Use, clone BSB-134, BioSB, Diagomics, Blagnac, France) antibodies for 64 and 92 min, respectively. Targets were then visualized using the OptiView DAB detection kit (06396500001, Roche). The tissue slides were counterstained using hematoxylin (05277965001, Roche) for 8 min followed by postcoloration using Bluing reagent for 4 min at room temperature (05266769001, Roche). The slides were then dehydrated (ethanol and xylene) and mounted using xylene-based mounting (TissueTek Prisma®, Sakura Finetek Europe B.V., The Netherlands).
