Samples were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 h at room temperature. After embedding in a paraffin block, 8-μm-thick sections were cut and stained with Meyer’s hematoxylin and eosin Y solutions (Muto Pure Chemicals, Tokyo, Japan). For immunohistochemical staining, the sections were fixed in 10% formaldehyde (pH 7) overnight at room temperature. The samples were first blocked in PBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 0.01% Triton X-100 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 1 h at room temperature and subsequently incubated overnight with anti-vimentin (rabbit, primary antibody, Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and anti-cytokeratin 15 (rabbit, primary antibody, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4 °C. The sections were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies (highly cross-absorbed goat anti-IgG (H + L) Alexa Fluor 488 or goat anti-IgG (H + L) Alexa Fluor 555, Thermo Fisher Scientific) in blocking solution for 3 h at room temperature, and finally stained with DAPI (Sigma Aldrich) in PBS for 8 min. A confocal microscope (LSM 700; Carl Zeiss) was used for fluorescence imaging.

The coverslips were washed 3× in TTBS and incubated with goat anti-mouse IgG Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibody (ThermoFisher, Waltham, MA) diluted 1:500 with 3% BSA/TTBS in the dark for 1 h at room temperature. The samples were subsequently stained with DAPI for 20 min and washed, and then coverslips were mounted using Vectashield (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA) and visualised by fluorescence microscopy. As a negative control, coverslips were processed with normal mouse IgG at the equivalent concentration as the antibodies used.

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.
