Immunohistochemical Staining of FOXJ1 in Tissue Sections

Staining was performed as previously reported (39 (link)). In brief, tissue sections were cut at 4μm and deparaffinized in xylene and absolute alcohol. Endogenous peroxidase activities were blocked with a solution of 3% hydrogen peroxide and absolute alcohol 1:1 for 15 minutes. Heat induced antigen retrieval was performed with a pressure cooker (122+/−2°C) for 45 seconds at 15+/−5 PSI in citrate buffer (pH6.0). Immunohistochemistry was performed using a polyclonal rabbit antibody to FOXJ1 (HPA005714, Sigma-Aldrich) at a dilution of 1:75 incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature followed by labeled polymer-HRP anti-rabbit IgG incubated 30 minutes and visualized with 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) (brown in color: Dako Envision System). The slides were counterstained with hematoxylin. Images were acquired using an Olympus BX41 microscope and an Olympus DP26 digital camera.

Immunohistochemical Staining for FOXJ1 in Ependymoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed immunohistochemical staining for FOXJ1 on FFPE tissue sections using rabbit polyclonal antibody HPA005714 (Sigma-Aldrich, 1:75 dilution). Antigen retrieval was with a pressure cooker. Staining was attempted with anti-HFH4 antibody[3 (link)–19 (link)] (Abcam ab40869) but despite recognizing FOXJ1 in ciliated fallopian tube cells, staining was not obtained in ependymoma tumour cells. Negative control staining was performed using normal/nonimmune rabbit serum, immunoglobulin fraction (DakoCytomation X0936). Nuclear staining was scored as positive using a semi-quantitative approach, with intensity scored from 0 to 3 (0 = no staining, 1 = weak, 2 = moderate, or 3 = strong) and frequency scored from 0 to 4 (0 = no cell with nuclear positivity, 1 = 1–25%, 2 = 25–50%, 3 = 50–75%, 4 = 75–100%) [41 (link)]. The IHC score was generated by multiplying the intensity and frequency scores. FOXJ1-high was > 8. FOXJ1-low was < 8.

Immunophenotyping of Trypsinized Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were harvested by Trypsin and washed with PBS once before fixation with 4% PFA. After blocking with block buffer (IF buffer with 1% BSA) for 30 min, cells were stained with FOXJ1 (RRID: AB_1078902; HPA005714; Sigma-Aldrich) and ITGA6 (RRID: AB_2128317; MAB1378; Millipore) antibodies for 30 min, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 anti-rat and 647 anti-rabbit). The cells were suspended in 2% FBS and analyzed by flow cytometry or cell sorting. When RNA was required to be extracted and recovered after cell sorting, RNase inhibitors (N2611; Promega) were included in all of the above buffers at a concentration of at least 1:100.

Immunofluorescence Staining of Cilia and Stem Cell Markers

Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 6 min at room temperature. The cells were then processed for immunofluorescence using mouse antibody against β-Tubulin IV (1:200, Sigma-Aldrich, T7941) to stain cilia. Rabbit anti-FoxJ1 polyclonal antibody (1:200, Sigma, HPA005714), mouse anti-nestin monoclonal antibody (1:400, BD, BD611658), and rat anti-BrdU monoclonal antibody (1:200, AbD serotec, OBT0030) were also used as primary antibodies. Donkey anti-mouse IgG-Alexa488 (1:500, Jackson ImmunoResearch, 715-545-150), donkey anti-rabbit IgG-Cy3 (1:500, Jackson ImmunoResearch, 712-165-153), and donkey anti-rat IgG-Cy3 (1:500, Jackson ImmunoResearch, 711-165-152) were used as secondary antibodies. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Fluorescent images of cells were obtained using a fluorescent microscope (BZ-X710, Keyence). The total number of cells was determined by counting DAPI stained nuclear signals using Fiji (ImageJ) (Schindelin et al. 2012) . The number of FoxJ1 positive cells was also determined using Fiji. Numbers of BrdU or nestin-positive cells or multi-ciliated cells were counted manually.

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.
