To ensure that the HTR8/SVneo cells used for the assay were not contaminated by fibroblasts (Abou-Kheir et al., 2017 (link)), immunocytochemistry was performed. In brief, cells were seeded into a 96-well plate at 8 x103 cells/well with 100 μL media. Cells were washed with PBS (Gibco, Waltham, MA) and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde before blocking with 5% goat serum (Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA) in 0.1% Triton X in PBS. After blocking, primary antibodies against the fibroblast marker vimentin (MA5-11883; 1:100, Thermo Fisher, Hanover Park, IL) and the cytotrophoblast marker cytokeratin-7 (MA5-11986; 1:100, Thermo Fisher, Hanover Park, IL) were applied overnight. Cells were then rinsed and incubated with secondary goat anti-mouse antibody (A11029, 1:100, Thermo Fisher, Hanover Park, IL) for one hour. Cell nuclei were then stained with 5 μM Hoechst 33342 dye and imaged at 100X magnification.

After washing three times with a washing medium (Tween20, Triton X-100, and PBS), the cells were incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies. Secondary antibodies were applied, and the cells were incubated at room temperature (20–25°C) for 1 h. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst-33342. Stained cells were examined under a confocal microscope using the ZEN 3.5 Blue Edition software (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A 9-year-old girl, without a significant pathologic clinical history, was admitted at the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez with one month´s history of moderate progressive abdominal pain localized in mesogastrium, vomiting and weight loss. A heterogeneous ovarian mass of 17 × 9,7 cm was discovered by CT scan image. The patient underwent surgical excision of the mass. On laparotomy, surgeons found a right ovarian tumor. The pathology specific presented a typical herringbone pattern, high mitogenic index (4 mitoses in 10 high-magnification fields), extensive hemorrhagic and necrotic areas and nuclear pleomorfism. The final histopathology diagnosis was fusocellular sarcoma compatible with fibrosarcoma. Immunohistochemistry was performed against Vimentin (MA5-11883, Invitrogen, CA, USA; 1:100 dilution) and Inhibin (5692, Bio SB, CA, USA; 1:100 dilution) as reported previously25 (link). The patient had two siblings, her brother was diagnosed with bilateral renal tumors: Wilms´ tumor and a possible metanephric adenoma whereas her sister is healthy at the moment. We were unable to obtain paternity tests.

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.
