2D cell cultures were labeled as previously described (11 (link)) with antibodies against WNT5B (ab94914, Abcam), β-catenin (610153, BD Biosciences), ZO-1 (402200, Invitrogen), and VE-cadherin (555661, BD Biosciences). Secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488, Alexa Fluor 594, or Alexa Fluor 647 (A21202, A21207, or A21447, Invitrogen) were used to visualize the labeled cells and the nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (Fluka). The fluorescence images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 780 confocal microscope and the sum of the pixel intensity values was quantified using CellProfiler (Broad Institute; https://cellprofiler.org/) and normalized to the number of cells.

Immunohistochemical Staining of Melanoma

Paraffin-embedded melanoma sections were provided by the Helsinki Biobank. All patients provided written informed consent to the Helsinki Biobank.
Tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated. The EnVision FLEX+ kit (Dako, Agilent) was used to stain the tissues. Epitope retrieval was performed using the EnVision FLEX Target Retrieval solution, high pH, for 15 minutes at 95°C. Endogenous peroxidase blocking was performed according to the kit manufacturer. Tissue blocking was performed using the normal horse serum blocking solution (S2000, Vector Laboratories) diluted 1:20 in antibody diluent (S2022, Dako).
Sections were stained with either anti-Notch3 (1:800; HPA044392, Sigma-Aldrich) or anti-WNT5B antibodies (1:600; ab94914, Abcam) diluted in the Dako antibody diluent for 16 hours at 4°C. Secondary antibody incubation was performed according to the instructions of the kit. Chromogenic reactions were performed using the Romulin AEC Chromogen kit (RAEC810, Biocare Medical) and hematoxylin staining using Mayer’s Hematoxylin (S3309, Dako). Tissues were dehydrated and mounted on coverslips using Eukitt Quick-hardening mounting medium (03989, Sigma-Aldrich). The slides were imaged with a Pannoramic 250 Flash II (3DHISTEC Ltd.).

Wnt5b and PD-L1 Immunohistochemistry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experimental procedures were performed as previous studies [13] . We incubated tissue sections with Wnt5b antibody (1:50, Abcam, ab94914). The intensity of Wnt5b staining was scored as following: 0 (no staining), 1 (weak staining), 2 (moderate staining), or 3 (strong staining). The percentage scores of Wnt5b staining were assigned as following: 1 (1%-25%), 2 (26%-50%), 3 (51%-75%), and 4 (76%-100%). The above two scores were multiplied to give a final score: 0 to 12. The scores of ≥4 were defined as Wnt5b overexpression (positive expression); the scores between 1 and 4 were defined as weak expression (negative expression). The informations of PD-L1 staining were in Supplemental materials and methods. PD-L1 staining was performed by using the Dako automated staining platform according to the manufacturer's standard steps (Dako 22C3 PharmDx Assay, Dako Autostainer Link 48, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). We determined the PD-L1 expression in tumor cells by using Tumor Proportion Score (TPS). TPS was calculated as the percentage of at least 100 viable tumor cells with complete or partial membrane staining. The percentage of ≥50% was defined as PD-L1 positive expression; and that of<50% was defined as PD-L1 positive expression.

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.
