Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IHC was performed on mouse lung tissue to examine KI67 expression. Lung sections were deparaffinized and rehydrate to water. Antigens were retrieved by heating the sections in BorgDecloaketRTU (Biocare medical, Concord, CA) for 10 minutes at 95C. After antigen retrieval, non-specific binding was blocked using Ultra V Block (UltraVision Detection System, Thermoscientific, Fremont, CA) for 10 minutes, then slides were incubated in humidity chamber with primary antibody from ABCAM (Cambridge, MA) at 1:4000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. As negative controls, adjacent slides were incubated in normal rabbit serum. After two buffer washes, slides were incubated for 10 minutes with biotinylated Goat Anti-polyvalent (UltraVision Detection System, Thermo Scientific), followed by a buffer wash and incubated for 10 minute in Streptavidin Peroxidase (UltraVision Detection System from Thermo scientific, Fremont, CA). After a buffer wash, staining of interest was developed with DAB chromagen (Dako, Carpinteria, CA) and counterstained with Fast Green (Sigma St. Louis, MO). Slides were then dehydrated and mounted with Cytoseal (Thermo Scientific, Fremont, CA). Quantification of immunohistochemistry staining was done as previously described.[11 (link)]

Pancreatic tissues were fixed in 10% formalin solution, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned in 3-μm slices. Sections were stained with H&E and Masson’s trichrome to detect the interstitial volume expansion. Antigen retrieval was performed in sodium citrate buffer at 96°C. Sections were washed with PBS three times, and endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by incubating sections in a solution of 3% H2O2 for 5 min. Sections were then blocked with 10% normal goat serum. The primary antibodies used were α-SMA (ab5694, Abcam), Desmin (A3736, Abclonal), GFAP (A19058, Abclonal), KRT19 (A19040, Abclonal), Gadd45g (A10286, Abclonal), and Tsc1 (BA2879, BOSTER). Incubation with the primary antibody was performed at 4°C overnight. Tissue sections were developed using the Ultra Vision Detection System (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

The primary rabbit monoclonal antibodies against Ki67 (ab92742; Abcam) were diluted 1:100. For immunofluorescence analyses, nuclei were stained with DAPI (1 μg/mL; Kirkegaard & Perry Laboratories, Gaithersburg, MD, USA), and slides were mounted in Fluoromount (Diagnostic Biosystems, Pleasanton, CA, USA). Anti-PHGDH antibodies (HPA021241; Sigma) were used as the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:100, and binding was visualised using secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (ab150077; Abcam).

Native and decellularised zinc fixed and paraffin embedded tissue sections (from n = 6 human aortas) were stained with monoclonal antibodies against collagen I (Millipore; IgG isotype, polyclonal, 1:500 dilution), collagen III (Millipore; IgG1 isotype, clone IE7-D7, 1:100 dilution), collagen IV (Dako; IgG1 isotype, clone PHM-12, 1:200 dilution), von Willebrand factor (Dako; IgG isotype, polyclonal, 1:400 dilution), fibronectin (Vector; IgG1 isotype, clone 568, 1:150 dilution) and laminin (Sigma; IgG1 isotype, clone LAM-89, 1:1000 dilution). Immunolabeling was carried out using an Ultravision detection system (Thermo Scientific). Antigen retrieval was employed using proteinase K (Dako; room temperature for 20 min—collagen III, von Willebrand factor, fibronectin and laminin), proteinase K followed by trypsin digestion (0.05% w/v trypsin 0.52 mM EDTA.4Na in HBSS with phenol red (Sigma) for 30 s) (collagen IV) and Vector antigen unmasking solution citric based (collagen I). Hydrogen peroxide (Sigma) was used to block endogenous peroxidase activity. Isotype control antibodies (IgG and IgG1; Dako; used at the same concentrations as the test antibody) and omission of the primary antibody served as negative controls. Sections were viewed using Kohler and all images were captured digitally using Zen Blue Pro (Zeiss).

A tissue microarray of BC samples was obtained from US Biomax Inc. (product ID: BL 1002; Rockville, MD, USA). Detailed information on all tumour specimens can be found at http://www.biomax.us/index.php. The tissue microarray was immunostained following the manufacturer's protocol with an Ultra Vision Detection System (Thermo Scientific). Primary rabbit polyclonal antibodies against ITGA3 (HPA008572; Sigma-Aldrich) were diluted 1 : 20. Immunostaining was evaluated according to the scoring method described previously (Yoshino et al, 2011 (link)). Each case was scored on the basis of the intensity and area of staining. The intensity of staining was graded on the following scale: 0, no staining; 1+, mild staining; 2+, moderate staining; and 3+, intense staining. The area of staining was evaluated as follows: 0, no staining of cells in any microscopic field; 1+,<30% of cells stained positive; 2+, 30–60% stained positive; 3+,>60% stained positive. The immunostaining scores (intensity+extent) were combined and analysed. All samples were independently scored by two of the authors (T Sakaguchi and K Miyamoto), who were blinded to the patient status.

Pre- and post-chemotherapy plasma vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were measured. Tumor expression of tissue VEGF was characterized by tissue microarray. Methods for these assays have been described [20 (link)]. Also, serum total testosterone levels were obtained prior to and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Immune infiltration was examined via immunohistochemistry with a panel of 8 markers in primary prostatic tumors and adjacent normal tissue using a tissue microarray (TMA) of 50 patients treated neoadjuvantly with docetaxel and mitoxantrone. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with citrate buffer (BioGenex, Fremont, CA), with the exception of retrieval prior to CD4 staining, which was achieved using 10 mM Tris/1 mM EDTA. Staining was performed with the Ultravision Detection System (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA), followed by counterstaining with methyl green. Antibodies CD3, CD4, CD8, CD15, and CD163 were from Thermo Scientific, CD68 (clone PG-M1) and CD20 were from AbCAM (Cambridge, UK), and FoxP3 was from eBioscience (San Diego, CA). Slides were digitally scanned with an Aperio ScanScope CT Slide Scanner at 40x objective and individual TMA cores were analyzed separately using TMALab (Aperio, Buffalo Grove, IL) and the nuclear stain detection algorithm to quantify the number of positive cells within each core. Data is displayed as cell density (cells/mm2).

The lung tissues were fixed in 10% formalin solution. Paraffin was used to encapsulate the chips, and then 3-μm-thick slices were prepared. The sections were stained with H&E and Masson’s trichrome to detect interstitial volume expansion. The antigen was repaired with sodium citrate buffer in a water bath at 96°C. After washing with phosphate-buffered saline three times and 3% H2O2 for 5 min, the sections were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. For immunohistochemical staining to measure the levels of α-SMA, Ki67, Tsc1, and p-mTOR, the lung tissue sections were incubated with these primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. The tissue sections were developed using an Ultra Vision Detection System (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA).

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.
