Histological Analysis of Liver Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For histological analyses, liver samples (the same lobe from each mouse) were fixed overnight in 10 per cent neutral buffered formalin, dehydrated in a graded alcohol series, and embedded in paraffin; 4-µm sections were prepared. Epitope retrieval was performed by autoclave pretreatment in Histofine® antigen retrieval solution (pH 9) (Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan). Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 3 per cent hydrogen peroxide, and the sections were incubated with diluted 1 : 15 antibromodeoxyuridine peroxidase Fab fragments overnight at 4°C. The sections were also incubated with 1 : 100 Phospho-Smad2 (138D4; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts, USA) and 1 : 100 TSP-1 (A6.1; Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) antibodies. Diaminobenzidine solution was used as chromogen, followed by counterstaining with Mayer's haematoxylin.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of CRC Samples

Formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded blocks of CRC resected specimens were sliced to 3-µm sections. Sections were autoclave-pretreated in histofine antigen retrieval solution (pH9) (Nichirei, Tokyo, Japan). Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked using 3% hydrogen peroxide, and the sections were incubated with 50 times diluted primary antibodies (EZH2 and p27) over night at 4°C. A subsequent reaction was performed with a biotin-free horseradish peroxidase enzyme-labeled polymer of the Envision Plus detection system (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). The reaction was visualized with a diaminobenzidine solution, followed by counterstaining with Mayer’s hematoxylin.

Paraffin Embedding and Immunostaining of 293T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For preparation of the paraffin block of 293T cells, the cells were fixed in 20% of formalin/PBS for 24 h. After removing the formalin, alcohol dehydration and paraffin permeation were done using Tissue-Tek VIP5Jr (Sakura, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands). Paraffin blocks were sectioned at 3-μm thickness. The sections were then transferred to coating slide glasses (Muto pure chemicals, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan). After paraffin removal, the paraffin sections of the 293T and ATL cells were treated with 3% H2O2. Antigen-retrieval treatment was done using Histofine antigen retrieval solution pH9 (Nichirei, Chuo-Ku, Tokyo, Japan) for 20 min under microwave radiation. After reaction with the first antibody, anti-EVC antibody (HPA008703, 1:400; SIGMA), and the second antibody (K5027, ENVISION Kit/HRP [DAB]; Dako, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan), the sections were colored using ENVISION Kit/HRP [DAB] DAB+ (K3468; DAKO). Finally, the sections were stained with hematoxylin.

Immunofluorescence Labeling of Olfactory Bulb

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were deeply anesthetized with an overdosing i.p. injection of pentobarbital. After intracardiac perfusion with 4% PFA (Nacalai Tesque, #26126-25) in PBS, the OB was dissected and post-fixed in 4% PFA in PBS overnight. The OB was then cryoprotected with 30% sucrose and then embedded in OCT Compound (Sakura, #4583). Frozen sections were cut at 18 mm thick with a cryostat (Leica).
Antigen retrieval was performed by heating in a microwave oven for 5 min in Histofine antigen retrieval solution pH 9 (Nichirei, #415201). Sections were pretreated with 4% PFA in PBS and 5% Donkey serum (Sigma, #D9663) in PBS with 0.1% Triton X-100. Rabbit anti-Drd2 (Millipore, AB5084P, RRID: AB_2094980) and guinea pig anti-Gabbr1 (Millipore, AB2256, RRID: AB_11210385) were used at 1:100 and 1:500 dilutions, respectively. AlexaFluor647-conjugated secondary antibodies (Thermo Fisher Scientific, A31573 and A21450, RRID: AB_2536183 and AB_141882) were used at 1:200 dilutions. Sections were counterstained with DAPI (Dojindo, #D523). Immunofluorescence was imaged with an inverted confocal laser-scanning microscope (Olympus, FV1000) using a 20x dry objective lens (Olympus).

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.
