TG were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, paraffin embedded, and then sectioned at 4 μm thickness. For mCherry staining, antigen retrieval was performed for 12 hours at pH 9 in a 65°C water bath using Tris-EDTA buffer. Sections were then stained with a mouse monoclonal anti-mCherry antibody (1:1,000) provided by FHCRC Experimental Histopathology (Benjamin Hoffstrom), and detection was performed using PowerVision poly-HRP anti-mouse (Leica), along with the chromagen DAB (Dako) 2 times for 4 minutes. Slides were then counterstained with hematoxylin (BioCare) and Tacha's bluing solution at 25% for 2 minutes. Isotype controls of mouse Ig were used as negative control. For NeuN staining, antigen retrieval was performed as above for 12 hours at pH9 in a 65°C water bath. Sections were then stained with a mouse monoclonal anti-NeuN antibody (clone A60, Millipore mab377, 1:800), and detection was performed using PowerVision poly-HRP anti-rabbit and the Mouse on Mouse Basic Kit (Vector Laboratories, catalog BMK-2202).

Four micron thick, formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections were prepared and immunohistochemistry was carried out on a Dako Plus autostainer (DAKO, Inc, Carpenteria, CA) as previously described [23 (link)]. Briefly, following antigen retrieval and blocking steps, sections were incubated in primary antibody for 60 mins, followed by appropriate biotinylated secondary antibody (Biocare Medical, Conrad, CA), and then streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (Thermo Scientific Lab Vision). Color was developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine substrate (Thermo Scientific Lab Vision) and sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (Biocare Medical, LLC). As a negative control, adjacent serial sections were incubated with species appropriate irrelevant IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch Labs) at the same concentration as primary antibodies. Similar to the lung tumor burden evaluation described above, mean percentage of positive staining ± SEM was determined by 2 different observers, each calculating the ratio of positive cells/total number of cells × 100 for 4 separate high power fields (63X objective) from at least 2 different mice per group.

Uterine sections from paraffin-embedded tissue were cut at 6 µm and mounted on silane-coated slides, deparaffinized and rehydrated in a graded alcohol series. Sections were preincubated with 10% normal goat serum in PBS (pH 7.5) and then incubated with primary antibody diluted in 10% normal goat serum in PBS (pH 7.5) overnight at 4°C at 1∶2000 dilution for CRISPLD2 (HPA030055; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). On the following day, sections were washed in PBS and incubated with 1∶1000 diluted secondary anti-rabbit antibody (BA-1000; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) for one hour at room temperature. Horseradish peroxidase conjugated streptavidin (SNN1004; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) at a dilution of 1∶1000 was added to the slides and incubated for 30 min. Immunoreactivity was detected using DAB (SK-4100; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Next, the nuclei were stained with hematoxylin (Biocare Medical, Concord, CA) for 30 sec. The slides were subsequently washed in water and increasing gradients of ethanol, then placed in xylene before mounting in a xylene-based mounting solution (Fisher Scientific Inc, Hanover park, IL). The immunostained sections were observed under a microscope.

Immunohistochemistry of Nodal in DTIC-Resistant Melanoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded melanoma tissue sections from five patients that failed to respond to DTIC therapy were obtained from the Melanoma Institute Australia. Immunohistochemistry was performed on a Microm HMS710i autostainer using mouse anti-Nodal (19 (link)). Color was developed with 3,3’-diaminobenzidine and sections were counterstained with Hematoxylin (Biocare Medical). Adjacent serial sections were incubated with ChromPure mouse IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch Labs) as negative control. Sections were visualized, and digital images captured and analyzed using a Leica DM4000B microscope.

Immunohistochemical Detection of Salmonella

Paraffin-embedded tissue samples were sectioned at
a thickness of
3–4 μm on charged microscope slides. Samples were deparaffinized
using CitriSolv (Decon Laboratories, Inc., King of Prussia, PA) and
rehydrated sequentially in graded alcohols. Antigen retrieval was
performed by incubating slides in 10 μg/mL proteinase K (MilliporeSigma)
in PK buffer (0.6 M Tris (pH 7.5)/0.1% CaCl2) for 10 min
at RT. Blocking of endogenous peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase
was performed by incubating slides in Rodent Block M (BioCare Medical,
Pacheco, CA) followed by incubation with BLOXALL Endogenous Blocking
Solution (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Slides were washed
in TBS buffer and incubated with primary rabbit Salmonella O Antiserum
(Group B Factors 1, 4, 5, 12, #BD 229481, Becton, Dickinson and Company)
for 1 h at 1:5000 dilution. Slides were then incubated in AP-polymer
(Rabbit on Rodent AP-Polymer, BioCare Medical) followed by Vina Green
Chromogen (BioCare Medical, Pacheco, CA) treatment. Tissues were finally
counterstained with hematoxylin (BioCare Medical) before mounting
with EcoMount (BioCare Medical). Slides were cured at 60–70
°C for 15 min.

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.
