Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry of tumor tissues derived from mice used for the imaging study was performed using a Bond RXm system (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany; all reagents from Leica) with an EGFR antibody (clone E235, 1:100, ab32077; Abcam). Briefly, slides were deparaffinized and pretreated with Epitope retrieval solution 1 (EDTA buffer [pH 6]) before the diluted primary antibody was applied for 15 min. Antibody binding was detected with a polymer refine detection kit without a post primary agent and visualized with diaminobenzidine as a dark brown precipitate. Counterstaining was done with hematoxylin. A positive control was included in each run. The stained slides were scanned with an automated slide scanner (Leica Biosystems; AT-2), and the Aperio Imagescope software (version 12.3; Leica Biosystems) was used to take representative images. The receptor expression level was evaluated by a veterinary pathologist.

Histological analysis of tumor specimens was performed in five tumors per group. Tissues were fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin solution for minimally 48 h, dehydrated under standard conditions (Leica ASP300S, Wetzlar, Germany) and embedded in paraffin. Serial 2 μm sections were prepared with a rotary microtome (HM355S, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, USA) and subjected to histological and immunohistochemical analysis. Hematoxylin-Eosin (H.-E.) staining was performed on deparaffinized sections with Eosin and Mayer’s Haemalaun according to a standard protocol. Immunohistochemistry was performed using a Bond RXm system (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany, all reagents from Leica) with a primary antibody against cleaved caspase 3 (clone ASP175, 1:150, Cell Signaling 9664). All slides were scanned with a high-throughput scanning system (AT2, Leica). The percentage of tumor area occupied by cleaved caspase 3 positive tumor cells and the average number of mitoses per 10 high power fields (MI) in tumor cells was evaluated in all sections by experienced pathologists (TG/KS), and representative images were taken using Aperio ImageScope × 64 (version 12.4.0.7018, Leica).

ISH was conducted using the RNAscope2.5 LS Reagent Red Kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the Leica BOND-RXm system. Deparaffinization and heat-induced epitope retrieval were performed with BOND Epitope Retrieval Solution 2 (ER2; pH 9.0) for 25 minutes at 95°C. Hybridization for SARS-CoV-2 RNA was carried out using the RNAscope 2.5 LS Probe V-nCoV2019-S and checked for quality against slides treated with the positive control probe Hs-UBC and negative control Probe DapB.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of CD31 in FFPE Tissue

The formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue was used to prepare consecutive 2 μ m sections using a microtome (Microm). The immunohistochemistry (IHC) for CD31 (vessel endothelium) was performed with a primary rabbit anti-CD31 antibody (Abcam ab28364, 1:50) processed and detected on a Bond RXm system (Leica) with a polymer detection kit (without post primary antibody). The tissue was deparaffinized, pretreated with hydrogen-peroxide, incubated with the primary antibody for 15 min at room temperature, and the detection was performed with an anti-rabbit HRP polymer and DAB. Counterstaining was performed with hematoxylin. The slides were then dehydrated and coverslipped. Positive staining occurred as a dark-brown precipitate.

Sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated and subjected to epitope retrieval stained with a rabbit anti-LC3B (microtubule-associated protein 1A/11B-light chain 3) antibody (1:1000; NB100-2220, Novus Biologicals), mouse anti-CCS antibody (1:100; 55561, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and rabbit anti-p62 antibody (1:1000; PM04, MBL International) by peroxidase-based detection and counterstaining with hematoxylin using the Leica Bond Rxm system. Photographs were taken on a Leica DMI6000B inverted light and fluorescent microscope (20x for quantitation, 5x or 40x for representative images). LC3- and p62-positive staining was assessed in Image J. The color deconvolution macro was applied to images while tumors were circumscribed with the freehand selection tool on the DAB (3,3′-diaminobenzidine) staining (Color_2) generated window. Using the threshold function, the total area of the tumor in pixels was recorded utilizing the same parameters for each tumor image. Areas staining positive by these parameters were selected and recorded in pixel units. The positive-staining area of the tumor in pixels was divided by the total area of the tumor in pixels to determine the percentage positive-staining area. Statistical analysis of abnormal lung area, % positive LC3 or positive p62 staining was analyzed using an unpaired, two-tailed Student’s t-test in Prism 7 (GraphPad).

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.
