Deparaffinized 5μm-thick tissue sections were immunostained using the Vectastain R.T.U Elite ABC KIT according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, antigen retrieval was performed by heating slides either in TRIS-EDTA buffer (pH 9) (Abcam) or with citrate buffer (pH 6) (Thermo Scientific) in a microwave and sections were sequentially blocked for 10 minutes with BLOXALL Blocking Solution (SP-6000), wash in PBS and blocked for 1hr with 10% horse blocking serum. Slides were then incubated for overnight in 4°C with primary antibody diluted in SignalStain Ab Diluent (Cell Signaling) Antibodies were used at the following concentrations: anti–pan-p63 (clone 4A4) 1/400, and anti-CK8/18 antibody (ab53280) 1/75. For all antibodies appropriate secondary Vectastain ABC Elite Kit HRP-conjugated antibodies and chromogenic 3,3-diaminobenzidine substrate were then successively added. Nuclei were counterstained with Hematoxylin. After staining, sections were dehydrated and mounted in the Permaslip medium (Alban Scientific Inc). Samples were visualized under a light microscope (Olympus BX50) and analyzed by Cell Sens Standard ver. 1.15 software.

Tissue sections were de-paraffinized and re-hydrated. Antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) at 120°C for 10 min. Sections were treated with 3% H2O2 and blocked with normal goat serum in 0.05% TBS-T for 60 min and washed x3 with 0.05% TBS-T. Primary antibodies were diluted in SignalStain Ab Diluent (Cell Signaling Technology). Sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody, washed 5 min in 0.05% TBS-T and then probed with SignalStain Boost Detection Reagent-rabbit or mouse (Cell Signaling Technology) for 30 min at room temperature in a humidified chamber. Visualization was carried out with SignalStain DAB (Cell Signaling Technology). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Antibodies against the following antigens were used: HA-tag (CST-3724) 1:500; phospho-AKT (Ser 473) (CST-4060) 1:100; Ki67 (MKI67) (UMAB107)1:300.

In order to assess expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in vivo, decalcified, paraffin-embedded femur sections were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis, as previously described [38 (link)]. Briefly, slides were deparrafinized in xylenes, rehydrated in sequential alcohol baths, and incubated in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer for 10 minutes at 37°C and 30 minutes at room temperature to unmask antigens. Sections were blocked with SuperBlock (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour and incubated overnight at 4°C in rabbit anti-PCNA antibody (1:1000) in SignalStain Ab Diluent (Cell Signaling Technology). The following day, slides were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody and the Vectastain ABC reagent (Vector Laboratories) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Slides were stained with Vector NovaRED substrate (Vector Laboratories) and counterstained with Fast Green (Electron Microscopy Sciences). Slides were rapidly dehydrated through alcohols and xylenes prior to mounting with Permount and coverslips.

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.
