Mouse anti ck18

The HNVEC cells were cultured on the sterile glass coverslips to an appropriate density and fixed in 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton-X-100 and labeled the primary antibodies (1:100, mouse anti-CK14, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, CA, sc-23878; 1:100, mouse anti-CK18, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, CA, sc-32329; 1:100, mouse anti-p63, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab735) and the secondary antibodies (1:100, fluorescently-labeled goat anti-mouse lgG-cy3, BA1031, Boster company, Wuhan, China) according to the manufacture's protocol. The vaginal tissues and paraffin sections of 3D cultures were solvent-dewaxed and treated with microwave antigen retrieval. The primary antibodies (1:100, mouse anti-HSV(1+2) gB, ab6506, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were incubated on the glass slides at 4°C overnight, then detected with red fluorescently-labeled goat-anti-mouse secondary antibodies (BA1031, Boster company, Wuhan, China) at 37°C for an hour in the dark. Both nuclei were performed counterstain with 0.5 ug/ml DAPI (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) for 10 mins at room temperature. All the coverslips were mounted on the glass slides using anti-quenching Fluoroshield™ histology mounting medium (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and visualized under a fluorescence microscope (BX51TF, Olympus company, Tokyo, Japan) with magnification 10 × or 20×.

The DAB staining was performed using a commercial kit called DAB Detection Kit (EliVision Super DAB, Maixin biotech company, Fuzhou, China). After paraffin sections of vaginal tissues as well as 3D cultures solvent-dewaxing and treatment with microwave antigen retrieval, endogenic peroxidase blocker were added at room temperature for 10 mins and the primary antibodies mouse anti-p63 (1:100, ab735, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit anti-Laminin (1:100, ab11575, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), mouse anti-CK18 (1:100, sc-32329, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), mouse anti-CK14 (1:100, sc-23878, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), mouse anti-E-cadherin (1:100, sc-71008, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA), mouse anti-Dsg-1 (1:100, sc-13716, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA) were respectively incubated on the slides at room temperature for an hour. The slides were then added the reaction-amplified reagent for 20 mins and conjugated with high-sensibility enzyme-conjugated lgG polymer. Reactants were visualized with the fresh-prepared DAB chromogenic solutions for 3 to 5 mins. Hematoxylin somatic cell staining reagent was used to counterstain nuclei for 8 mins. Glass slides were finally mounted with neutral balsam and visualized under EVOS visual imaging microscope (Life Technologies Corp Bothell, WA, USA).
