Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining was performed on human breast tissue array (Alenabio Co., Xi'an, China) and mouse tissues. All mouse tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hours. Bones were decalcified in 10% EDTA for 7 days at 4°C. Standard immunostaining techniques were used to prepare the sections for histology and immunohistochemistry staining. CD137, CD137L, Renilla luciferase, Ki67, and F4/80 were stained by using the following primary antibodies: anti-CD137 (abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-CD137L (R&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), anti-Renilla luciferase (Affinity Biosciences, Cincinnati, OH, USA), anti-Ki67 and F4/80 (abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies. The streptavidin-biotin detection system was applied and 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) was used. The images were recorded by using Olympus BX51 fluorescent microscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Healing was assessed on a macroscopic level by imaging and quantifying eschar size 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days post-wounding as previously described (Rebalka et al., 2015 (link)). Six micrometers paraffin embedded sections of skin, taken from the center of the wound, were sectioned and air-dried overnight. Masson's Trichrome staining (to measure wound area and assess granulation tissue), CD31 staining [used to assess vascular content; (1:50; Abcam)], and F4/80 staining [used to assess total macrophage content; number of F4/80 positive macrophages per unit area of muscle (1:100; Abcam)] were conducted using standard protocols.

Histopathologic Evaluation of Prostate Cancer in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded prostate tissue from each mouse was sectioned into three 4 μm sections, each separated by 50 μm, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histopathologic diagnosis. Tumor tissue was graded as mouse PIN (mPIN) and adenocarcinoma according to current guidelines by a single reader blind to treatment arm, guided by a board-certified pathologist (GVT).9 (link) Subsequent serial sections were stained with antibodies against Ki67 (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL), TUNEL (ApopTag® Plus Peroxidase In Situ Apoptosis Kit; Millipore Inc.) and F4/80 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) to assess proliferation, apoptosis and macrophage infiltration, respectively. Ki67 and TUNEL staining was conducted in both 3 and 6 month timepoints, whereas F4/80 staining was only carried out in the 6 month timepoint. Stained slides were scanned using an Aperio ScanScope and automated quantification of Ki67 and TUNEL expression was conducted blinded to dietary group using Definiens Tissue Studio® nuclear algorithm at the Translational Pathology Core, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Manual quantification of F4/80 expression was conducted by a board-certified pathologist blinded to dietary group at the Translational Pathology Core, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Scores ranging from 1 – 3 were assigned based on the number of cells staining positive for F4/80.

The formation of autophagosomes in colonic macrophages after TNBS induction with or without IL-33 administration was compared by immunofluorescence assay. Briefly, the sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated and washed in 1% PBS Tween. Then they were treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide, blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and incubated simultaneously with Beclin-1 (1:500, Sigma) and F4/80 (1:500, Abcam) overnight. After staining with the- secondary antibody, the slides were then counter-stained with DAPI for 5 min. Images were acquired by a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Lake Success, NY). Settings for image acquisition were identical for control and experimental tissues.

Histopathological Analysis of Liver Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Both the liver portion extracted at the time of hepatectomy and that collected at autopsy were processed for histopathological examination. Liver tissues were fixed in 10% formalin for 48 hours, routinely processed, and sliced into sections of 4 μm in thickness. For detection of liver fibrosis, sections were stained with picrosirius red (PSR; Sigma‐Aldrich), anti–α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA) antibodies (AbCam) and anti‐desmin antibodies (Boehringer). For detection of macrophage infiltration, sections were stained with antibodies against CD68 (AbCam) and F4/80 (AbCam). For detection of liver proliferation, sections were stained with anti–proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) antibodies (Dako). Sections were also stained with hematoxylin‐eosin (H & E) and periodic acid–Schiff (both from Sigma‐Aldrich). After staining, specimens were photographed under a microscope (Olympus). Histological and immunohistochemical results were quantified using WinRoof 7.4 software (Mitani Corporation).

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.
