Bouin’s fixed testicular tissue was processed in paraffin wax. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) against PRM1 was performed as described previously64 (link) using the Autostainer 480 S (Medac, Hamburg, Germany). For IHC of PRM2, sections were treated for 10 min at RT with decondensing-mix containing 25 mM dithiothreitol, 0.2% Triton X-100 and 200 IU heparin/ml in PBS to enhance antigen accessibility for the primary antibody69 (link). Subsequently, sections were washed in 0.02 M PBS (pH 7.4), boiled for 20 min in sodium citrate buffer, treated for 20 min with 3% H2O2 in methanol and blocked for 20 min with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS. Incubation with the primary antibody was performed overnight at 4 °C, with biotinylated goat-anti-mouse secondary antibody (DAKO) and the Vectastain ABC Kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) for 1 h at RT each. Immunoreaction was visualized using AEC (DAKO). Finally, sections were counterstained with hematoxylin and covered with glycerin gelatin.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was performed as published [8 (link)]. Briefly, tumor tissues were dissected, fixed and processed in paraffin wax. Tissue sections on glass slides were pre-treated in the Lab Vision PT Modul (Thermo Scientific, Munich, Germany) and in PT Modul Buffer (pH 6) (TA-250-PM, Medac, Hamburg, Germany). Endogenous peroxidases were blocked by incubation in peroxidase blocking buffer (TA-125-HP, Medac) for 10 min. Primary antibodies were incubated for 30 min at room temperature. Signal detection was performed semiautomatically in the Autostainer 480 S (Medac) using the Bright Vision + polymer detection system (Medac) and the following settings: Enhancer for 10 min, polymer for 20 min, DAB (415192F, Medac) for 8 min. Afterwards, nuclei were stained by hematoxylin for 3 min. See Table 2 for antibody details and dilution ratios.

Immunohistochemistry was performed as described previously 20, 25. Tumours were dissected, fixed in 4% formalin at 4°C overnight and processed in paraffin wax. Staining was performed semiautomatically in the Autostainer 480 S (Medac, Hamburg, Germany). For antibody details, see Table 1. Stainings were quantified from three individual tumours (n = 3). Significance was calculated using two‐tailed Student's t‐test.

IHC was performed as published previously (Nettersheim et
al
, 2015
). Tumour tissues were dissected, fixed in 4%
formalin overnight and processed in paraffin wax. Signal detection was performed
semi-automatically in the Autostainer 480S (Medac, Hamburg, Germany). Nuclei were
stained by hematoxylin. IF was performed as described previously (Nettersheim et al, 2011c (link), 2015 (link)). Nuclei were stained by Hoechst 33342. See Table 1 for antibody details and dilution ratios.

Dissected tissues were fixed in Bouin’s solution at 4°C overnight and processed in paraffin wax. Sections of 3 µm thickness were obtained on glass slides, deparaffinized, rehydrated and treated with decondensing buffer (25 mM DTT, 0.2% (v/v) Triton x-100 and 200 i.U./mL heparin in PBS) for 1 min at 37°C to increase antigen accessibility. Sections were further processed in the Lab Vision PT module (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Autostainer 480S (Medac, Hamburg, Germany) as published previously [40 (link)]. The primary antibody against 8-OHdG (clone 15A3, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA) was used at a dilution of 1:200.

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.
