Explanted iehAM were fixed in 4% formaldehyde, embedded in paraffin, and stained with hematoxylin and eosin according to standard protocols. Additional sections were deparaffinized and pretreated with Ultra CC1 (Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA) for antigen retrieval for anti-CD45, anti-CD20, anti-CD68, and anti-CD3 antibody staining and with target retrieval solution pH 9 (Dako, Heverlee, Belgium) for anti-pan-cytokeratin and anti-GFAP antibody staining. After endogenous peroxidase blocking, sections were incubated with 1:25 anti-CD45 (Dako, Heverlee, Belgium, clone 2B11 + PD7/26), 1:200 anti-CD20 (Dako, clone L-26), 1:1000 anti-CD68 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), 1:100 anti-pan-cytokeratin (Dako, clone 6F2), 1:200 anit-GFAP (Dako, clone AE1/AE3), and 1:20 anti-CD3 (Monosan, Uden, Netherlands, clone PS-1) antibodies. After incubation with peroxidase-labelled secondary antibodies, sections were visualized with a chromogen DAB (3,3′-diaminobenzidine) solution.

Quantification of immune cells by pathologists was performed as previously described (79 (link)). Staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections (4 μm thick) was performed with a BenchMark XT IHC/ISH automated slide stainer (Ventana Medical Systems Inc.). The antibodies used for immunohistochemical staining were anti-CD45 (Dako Denmark A/S), anti-CD3 (Dako Denmark A/S), and anti-CD20 (Dako Denmark A/S). They were revealed with the ultraView Universal DAB Detection Kit (Ventana Medical Systems Inc.). All staining reagents used were manufactured by Roche (F. Hoffmann–La Roche Ltd.). Images were analyzed with VisiomorphDP software (Visiopharm) to quantify the CD45+, CD3+, and CD20+ areas within the invasive tumor area defined for each digital image. The total positively stained area was scored as a percentage of the defined region, and the mean percentage of the scores obtained by two or three different pathologists was calculated for each sample. TET1 expression data for the IHC samples were taken from the Affymetrix data set GSE20711. The BLBC samples from this cohort were then separated into two groups (TET1-low and TET1-high), the cutoff being chosen to optimize the significance for CD45+ quantification between the two groups. The same split was then used for CD3+ and CD20+ quantification.

LF tissue samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), embedded in paraffin, and sectioned. After the sections were pre-treated with Target Retrieval Solution, pH 9 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9; Dako Japan, Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), endogenous peroxidases were blocked using periodic acid (Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan). We used the following antibodies as primary antibodies: anti-human Angptl2 antibody [19] (link), anti-vimentin, anti-CD3, anti-CD15, anti-CD20, anti-CD68 (Dako Japan), anti-S100A4 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-human p-Smad3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA). After treatment using EnVision + System-HRP-labeled Polymer (Dako Japan), the labeling was visualized using a Histofine 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) kit (Nichirei). For double immunofluorescent staining, anti-vimentin (Dako Japan) and anti-Angptl2 or anti-TGF-β1 (Abcam) were used as the primary antibodies, and Alexa Fluor 488-labeled anti-rabbit IgG and Alexa Fluor 594-labeled anti-mouse IgG (Life Technologies) were used as the secondary antibodies. Nuclei were counterstained with 4′, 6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).

The air-dried cytospin slides were fixed in 95% alcohol for 30 min, and immunohistochemistry was performed on automated Ventana Benchmark (Ventana System, Tucson, AZ, USA) or Leica Bond Max (Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, IL, USA) using the Bond polymer refine detection HRP (Leica Biosystems, DS9800) method. The following antibodies were used: prediluted anti-CD3 (clone: LN10; Leica), anti-CD20 (dilution 1:1000, clone: L26; DAKO), prediluted anti-CD19 (clone BT51E; Leica), prediluted anti-CD4 (clone: 4B12; Leica) and CD8 (dilution 1:40, clone: C8/144B; DAKO).

Human brain sections were immunostained using standard techniques using an anti-CD20 (1:500; Dako, Cirpinteria, CA), anti-CD3 (1:500; Dako), anti-CD4 (1:500; Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ), anti-CD68 (1:500; Dako), and anti-CD8 (1:500; Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ) antibodies. Total CD20+, CD3+, CD4+, and CD8+ cells present in each slide (one section per patient, N = 7 patients with liquefactive necrosis strokes) were counted using a Motic BA410 light microscope coupled with a MoticamPro 282A camera (Motic Images Plus 2.0 software) and a 10× objective, and divided by the area of tissue sample present on the slide to obtain the number of positivity stained cells per cm2.

Staining was performed on 5 µm frozen acetone-fixed sections. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with Bloxall Solution (Vector) and 2% casein was used to block non-specific staining. Sections were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) between incubation steps. Sections were incubated with anti-CD20 (Dako), mouse anti-FcRL4 (Biolegend), or isotype-matched irrelevant controls (Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 h, rabbit anti-mouse Ig (Dako) for 10 min, and anti-rabbit Ig peroxidase (Vector Laboratories) for 30 min. Staining was developed using a diaminobenzidine substrate (Vector Laboratories). Slides were counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with dibutyl phthalate xylene (DPX) (Sigma Aldrich).

Ten patients were subjected to conventional H&E preparation and immunohistochemical staining. Microscopy was performed by two pathology doctors (WJ and JNC) according to the 2008 WHO classification of lymphoma neoplasms, and then two senior doctors (QL and CKS) rechecked the microscopy and made the final diagnosis. Antibodies CK, LCA, CD3, CD45RO, CD20, CD79a, CD5, Cyclin D1, CD10, MUM1, Bcl2, Bcl6, CD30, and Ki-67 were obtained from Abcam USA and DAKO Denmark.

Formalin-fixed tissue samples were stained with H&E for histological description. Masson-Fontana (MF) staining was performed for characterization of the pigmentation pattern. Immunohistochemical procedures were performed on 20 representative SL derived in equal parts from the hand and the face. Tissue samples were fixed in 4% formaldehyde overnight and embedded in paraffin. Paraffin-embedded blocks were sectioned at a 6-μm thickness and deparaffinized in xylene, hydrated with ethanol, and rinsed in distilled water. Citrate buffer incubation (40 min, 10 mM citric acid, 0.05% Tween 20, pH 6) in a steamer was used for epitope retrieval. Afterwards, sections were cooled for 20 min and rinsed in phosphate-buffered saline. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-melan A (1: 60; Leica Microsystems), anti-tyrosinase (1: 60; Novocastra), anti-MITF (clone D5, 1: 60; Dako) p53 (1: 60; Dako), and anti-CD20 (1: 60; Dako). Notch1 immunofluorescence staining (Cell Signaling Technology) was performed on 12 of those lesions (5 lesions derived from the face and 7 lesions from the hand), according to a previously described method [14 (link)]. All tissue samples were microscopically observed in ×40 magnification (Olympus BX51TF).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hematoxylin and eosin stained lymph node sections were analyzed at low-power (12.5X) on a DM4000B microscope (Leica Biosystems), to capture the nodes entire two-dimensional area with a Spot RT/SE Slider camera (Spot Imaging). Follicular structures were traced and scored for circularity in silico with ImageJ software (NIH freeware) using the formula:
circularity=4π(area/perimeter2)
Lymph node follicular composition was determined by dividing the combined 2-dimensional areas of all follicular structures by the total lymph node area excluding adipose rich or acellular fibrous tissues. All pathology images were reviewed by one or more hematopathologists. Immunohistochemical staining was performed with anti-CD21 (1:100, Dako), anti-CD3 (pre-diluted, Ventana), anti-CD20 (1:200, Dako) and anti-BCL6 (1:50, Dako) antibodies.

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.
