Paraffin sections (6 mm thick) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, according to standard procedures for histological analyses. For immunohistochemical stainings, cryosections (6 mm thick) were fixed in either 4% paraformaldehyde or acetone, blocked with 10% normal goat serum or 5% bovine serum albumin (in PBS), and incubated overnight at 4 C with primary antibodies diluted in 10% normal goat serum or 1% bovine serum albumin. Bound primary antibodies were detected by incubation with Alexa-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature (Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (1:1000, D9542; Sigma-Aldrich, Munich, Germany). Specimens were mounted in Immu-Mount (9990402; Thermo Scientific, Braunschweig, Germany). The following primary antibodies were used: CD31 (1:1000, clone MEC13.3, 557355; BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany); desmin (1:100, clone D33, M0760; Dako, Hamburg, Germany); F4/ 80 (1:200, T-2028; Dianova GmbH, Hamburg, Germany); Ki-67 (1:500, ab15580; Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Subsequent to fixation with paraformaldehyde (PFA) 4%, 5-μm-thick aortic sections were incubated with BSA 2.5% and further with antibodies recognizing the markers of interest: α-SMA, MCP-1, MMP2, MMP9, IL-6, VCAM-1, Sca-1, c-Jun (phospho S63) [Y172] (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), cyclin D2 (Biozol, Eching, Germany), ICAM-1 (Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany), F4/80 (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany), and JNK (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After a series of washing with PBS, incubation with corresponding secondary antibodies (Dianova, Hamburg, Germany) was performed, followed by counterstaining with nuclear DAPI. Fluorescent signals were detected using confocal microscopy (LSM 800, Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and quantified using ImageJ. Four random regions per section and two sections per graft were analyzed.

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.
