Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Double-label immunofluorescent staining for lectin was performed to detect angiogenesis around the penumbra region on day 7 after occlusion. Rats were anesthetized at 7 days after the operation, and the brains were transcardially perfused with NS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde. After gradient elution with sucrose, the brains were quickly frozen and cut into 6 µm coronally thick sections. These sections were permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 5 min and blocked with 10% donkey serum for 1 h. Then, sections were incubated with anti-BrdU (1 : 500, Abcam NBP2-29414) and anti-CD34 (1 : 100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) overnight at 4°C. Next, the sections were briefly washed with PBST and incubated with donkey anti-mouse secondary antibody (1 : 400, Abcam, United States) for 1 h at 37°C. After counterstaining with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Solarbio, Beijing, China), the double-stained sections on the right side were observed and photographed using a fluorescence microscope, and analysis was conducted with the ImageJ software (Rawak Software Inc., Germany).

Briefly, 6-μm sections of knee joint tissue were placed on positively charged glass slides (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Asheville, NC, USA) and then dried with a hotplate to increase the adherence of the tissues to the slides. After the samples were deparaffinized and rehydrated according to conventional methods, endogenous peroxidases were blocked with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, USA). After 30 min the samples were digested with 5 mg/ml hyaluronidase in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min and then were incubated with anti-CD31 (1:100 dilution) (SC-56; Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and anti-CD34 (1:100 dilution) (Santa Cruz, CA, USA) antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Following treatment of the samples with appropriate biotinylated secondary antibodies, a 3,3’diaminobenzidine (DAB) streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) DAB Histostain-SP immunohistochemistry kit (ZYMED203 Laboratories/Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used to visualize bound antibodies. After the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (ZYMED Laboratories/Invitrogen), the tissues were imaged with a Nikon Ri 1 microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY, USA) (Guan et al. 2012 (link)).

Immunohistochemical localization was performed as previously described by Esposito et al. [16 (link)]. Slides were incubated overnight using the following primary antibodies: VEGF (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; 1:100 in PBS, v/v; sc-7269), eNOS (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA, 1:100 in PBS, v/v; sc-376751) anti-Bcl2 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; sc-7382); anti-caspase-3 (1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; sc-56053); anti-Ki-67 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; sc-23900); anti-CD34 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; sc-74499).

The reaction was revealed by a chromogenic substrate (brown DAB), and counterstaining with NUCLEAR FAST-RED. The percentage of positive staining was measured using a computerized image analysis system (Leica QWin V3, Cambridge, UK). The images were acquired using an optical microscope (Zeiss, Axio Vision, Feldbach, Schweiz). For immunohistochemistry, the images were shown at a magnification of 20 × (50 μm of the bar scale).

Paraffin-embedded samples were cut into 4-μm sections and processed for IHC. Tissue sections prepared for antigen retrieval by microwave treatment in citrate buffer (pH 6.0) were incubated with anti-ELTD1 (Proteintech Group, Chicago, IL, USA), anti-αSMA (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), anti-vimentin (Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-CD34 (Santa Cruz, Dallas, Texas, USA) primary antibodies. Immunostaining was performed using the Envision System with diaminobenzidine (Dako Cytomation, Glostrup, Denmark). Images were viewed and assessed using a microscope (Eclipse 80i, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Assessments of the ELTD1 staining were scored by two experienced pathologists blinded to patient identity and clinical status. The staining analysis technique was performed as previously described 24 (link). In particular, the proportion score was assigned based on the proportion of positive cells and the intensity of staining. The proportion of positive cells was scored from 0% to 100%. The intensity of staining was scored from 0 to 3 (0, none; 1, weak; 2, intermediate; 3, strong). The final quantitation of each staining was obtained by multiplying the two scores. For patient survival analyses, the median was set as the cut-off to distinguish strong and weak staining of ELTD1.

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.
