Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The feasibility of [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-PTP as a SPECT probe for tumor imaging was examined using established subcutaneous tumor models. Briefly, [99mTc]Tc-HYNIC-PTP solution (200 µL, [99mTc]Tc = 10 mCi/mL, corresponding to 2 µg of HYNIC-PTP) was intravenously injected into tumor-bearing mice. SPECT images were acquired 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 h after injection using a SPECT imaging system equipped with a Xeleris 2.0 workstation and low-energy general-purpose collimators (Infinia, Denver, CO, USA). After SPECT imaging, the tumors and muscle tissues were excised to confirm plectin expression levels by immunohistochemistry. Briefly, excised specimens were fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. The sections (5 μm) were subjected to heat treatment in a citrate solution for antigen retrieval and blocking with 3% bovine serum albumin for 30 min. Then the sections were incubated with anti-plectin primary antibody (1:200) overnight at 4 °C. After incubation with secondary antibody (K5007, DAKO, Carpinteria, CA, USA) at room temperature for 50 min, the slides were treated with 1:100 DAB (K5007, DAKO, USA) and counterstained with hematoxylin. At least three sections of each specimen were chosen, and 5–10 high-power visual fields were randomly selected to calculate the positive area of staining. The average areas were then used to plot histograms.

Immunohistology was performed according to methods described in our previous article30 (link). Fabricated cell sheets were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Wako Pure Chemical Industries), dehydrated, embedded in paraffin, sectioned (4 μm) and mounted on glass slides. The slides were de-paraffinized, and antigen retrieval was performed by autoclaving with citrate buffer (Histo-VT One, Nacalai Tesque). Peroxidase blocking (Dako) and protein blocking (Nacalai Tesque) were carried out to prevent non-specific reactions. The slides were then incubated overnight at 4 °C in PBS containing primary antibody (Table S2). After washing with PBS, the slides were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (EnVision Detection System, Peroxidase/DAB, Rabbit/Mouse, HRP; K5007; Dako) at room temperature for 1 h. The sections were washed again and treated with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (K5007; Dako) to visualize the HRP. Nuclei were stained by hematoxylin. De-paraffinized sections were also stained with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) for histological evaluation.
