Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four micron paraffin sections of mouse kidney were stained with goat antibody to collagen III alpha 1/COL3A1 (Novus Biologicals #NBP1-26547) using a three-step avidin-biotin horseradish peroxidase method (Vector Labs, Newark, CA, USA). Briefly, sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated and antigen retrieval was performed using 10 mM sodium citrate, pH 6.0 buffer for 10 min using an electric pressure cooker. After cooling, sections were blocked with 3% hydrogen peroxide and incubated overnight at 4 °C with 10% normal rabbit serum. Primary antibody was incubated for one hour at room temperature, followed by blocking for endogenous biotin using the Biocare Medical Avidin Biotin kit (#AB972H). Secondary and tertiary steps were for 30 min each and labeling for collagen 3 was detected using the SignalStain DAB Substrate kit (Cell Signaling #8059). Kidney sections stained for Collagen 3 were scanned using the Leica Aperio CS2 Scanscope at 20× and staining quantification was performed using Aperio Imagescope. Specifically for quantification, 27–31 separate cortical regions from each section were analyzed using the Positive Pixel Count v9 algorithm (5 animals per group), giving the ratio of total Collagen 3 positively stained pixels to the total number (stained and unstained) pixels in each region.

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.
