Cryo-frozen intestinal cross sections from patient colonic biopsies were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained using the TSA plus kit [Perkin Elmer] according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, slides were fixed with methanol at −20°C for 10 min, blocked with 10% fetal calf serum [FCS]/1% bvine serum albumin for 1 h and incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody. Paraffin-embedded tissues were deparaffinized and antigen unmasking was performed using citrate buffer. Thereafter slides were incubated with different antibodies.
For DSS-induced colitis mice, immunofluorescence analysis was performed in intestinal sections, which were taken at the end of the experiment on day 10 for IL10 [Abcam], IL17 [Abcam] and Foxp3 [eBioscience]. Colon biopsies of UC patients were taken before and 28 days after topical cobitolimod or placebo treatment21 (link),22 (link) and the corresponding cross sections were stained for IL10 [Abcam], Foxp3 [eBioscience] or IL17 [Abcam]. From each sample, four to six high power fields [HPFs] per patient were analysed using a 10× objective magnification. Analysis of images was done with a fluorescence microscope [BZ-8100 or BZ-9000, Keyence] or a confocal microscope [LSM, Leica Microsystems] and calculated with ImageJ 1.52a [NIH]

RNA in situ hybridization was performed using Digoxigenin-11-UTP-labeled probes as previously described (McIntyre et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight at 4°C, washed with ASW, and stored in methanol at −20°C. RNA probes were synthesized in vitro and used at 1 ng/μl. Hybridization took place at 60–65°C. Probes were visualized using alkaline phosphatase-conjugated anti-DIG antibody (1:1500, Roche [Indianapolis, IN, United States]). Finally, color was developed using NBT/BCIP (Roche). For double fluorescent in situ hybridization, a second probe (labeled with Fluorescein-12-UTP) was hybridized. Expression was visualized using the Tyramide Signal Amplification system (TSA-plus kit, Perkin Elmer [Waltham, MA, United States]). Embryos were visualized with a Zeiss Axioplan2 upright microscope.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A microarray containing tissue from 40 OS patients was obtained from Alena Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Xi’an, China). OS tissue sections were hybridized with the lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 (BioTNT Biotechnologies, Shanghai, China) and miR-34c-5p probes (Servicebio, Wuhan, China). Probe mix was denatured at 85 °C and hybridization was conducted at 65 °C overnight. Sections were washed using reducing concentrations of saline sodium citrate. Then slides were treated with 5% blocking solution for 30 min at room temperature. Each section was incubated with 100 μl HRP-labeled anti-DIG antibody at 1:500 in blocking buffer overnight at 4 °C. Then washed with TBS and TSA staining solution was created with a Perkin-Elmer TSA Plus kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Incubated in DAPI-containing TBS, then rinsed in water, air dried, and mounted in an aqueous fluorescence mounting media. Confocal microscopy (LSM 510, META laser scanning microscope, Zeiss) was used to acquire the images. The intensities of KCNQ1OT1 and miR-34c-5p staining were scored using the following staining criteria: 0–5% was scored as 0; 6–35% was scored as 1; 36–70% was scored as 2; and >70% was scored as 3. A total score <2 was considered to represent negative expression, and a score ≥2 was defined as a positive expression. The scoring was performed blind and determined by two senior pathologists.

Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in ASW for one hour at room temperature. Hybridization and chromogenic detection were performed using standard methods such as those described in (Walton et al., 2009 (link)), with the modification that 5% dextran sulfate was added to the hybridization buffer for increased sensitivity. DIG-labeled RNA probes were detected with an anti-DIG Fab AP antibody (Roche) and detected using NBT/BCIP. For double fluorescent detection, two probes, digoxigenin-11-UTP and fluorescein-12-UTP, were hybridized. Detection was carried out using cy3-tyramide and fluorescein tyramide reagents from the TSA-plus kit (Perkin Elmer). Hybridization and washing were performed at 65°C. Samples were imaged using a Zeiss Axioplan2 microscope. All staining patterns were quantified by scoring the expression patterns and each experiment was replicated a minimum of three times.

Cryo-frozen intestinal cross-sections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and stained using the TSA plus kit (Perkin Elmer, Baesweiler, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, slides were fixed with methanol at −20°C for 10 min, blocked with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS)/1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 hour and incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibody. Paraffin-embedded tissues were deparaffinised and antigen unmasking was performed using citrate buffer. After blocking, slides were incubated with TNFR2 (R&D, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA), pSTAT3 (Cell Signalling, Leiden, Netherlands), CD3 (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany), Ki-67 (eBioscience, Frankfurt, Germany) or CD14 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies. From each sample, 3–6 high power fields (HPF) per patient were analysed using ×10 objective magnification. For staining of active Caspase, the CaspACE FITC-VAD-FMK In Situ Marker (Promega, Mannheim, Germany) was used. TUNEL staining of PBMCs was performed with the TUNEL kit (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). Analysis of images was done with a fluorescence microscope (BZ-8100 or BZ-9000; Keyence, Neu-Isenburg, Germany) or a confocal microscope (LSM; Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

At 15 and 54 days after anticollagen type-II antibody cocktail or saline injection, male and female mice were deeply anaesthetized and transcardially perfused with saline (0.9% NaCl) followed by a fixative solution (4% paraformaldehyde with 0.2% picric acid in 0.16 M phosphate buffer). Lumbar spinal cords were dissected, postfixed for 90 minutes at 4°C, and cryoprotected with 10% sucrose in 0.1 M phosphate buffer for 48 hours at 4°C. Spinal cords were then embedded in OCT compound (Tissue-Tek) and cut at 20 μm with a cryostat (Microm). Tissue sections were incubated overnight with primary antibodies against calcitonin gene–related peptide (CGRP) (1:32,00038 (link)), substance P (SP) (1:400013 (link)), galanin (1:400053 (link)), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (1:8000, Dako), and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (IBA-1) (1:2000, Wako) at 4°C. Immunoreactivity was visualized with the TSA Plus kit (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA) as previously described.8 (link) Images were captured with a LSM710 confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany), and the integrated signal intensity was measured after background subtraction in 3 sections per animal using Image J (NIH). Results are shown as the percentage change in signal intensity in CAIA compared with the saline group.

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.
