After deparaffinization and rehydration, sections were incubated in citrate buffer for 16 h at 60°C to retrieve the antigen. Sections for immunohistochemistry (IHC) were treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 min and then blocked with 1% goat serum for 1 h. Then sections were incubated with primary antibodies against CRLF1 (1:100, ab211438, Abcam), GFP (1:100, EPR14104, Abcam), and a-SMA (1:100, ab7817, Abcam) for IHC, and a-SMA (1:100, ab7817, Abcam), CRLF1 (1:100, ab211438, Abcam) for Immunofluorescence (IF). Species-matched secondary antibody was used. Then, DAB (Beyotime, China) and haematoxylin (Beyotime, China) were used for IHC, and DAPI was used for IF.

All tissue samples were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde overnight, decalcified with pH 7.2 EDTA buffer (G-Chelate Mild, GenoStuff, Tokyo, Japan) for 10 d at 4 °C, and embedded in paraffin. The samples were cut into 3–4-μm-thick sections. Hematoxylin and eosin, safranin O/fast Green, and Masson trichrome staining were applied using standard protocols. For immunohistochemistry, the antibodies used were anti-GFP (EPR14104) (Abcam; dilution 1:100), anti-GFP (4B10) (Cell Signaling Technology; dilution 1:200), anti-RFP (5F8) (Chromotek; dilution 1:200), anti-tenomodulin (Thermo Fisher Scientific; dilution 1:150), anti-αSMA (1A4) (Abcam; dilution 1:200), and anti-bFGF (Bioss; dilution 1:200). For DAB staining, the secondary antibody used was Dako EnVision (Dako Japan Inc., Kyoto, Japan); stained cells were analysed by microscopy (BX51, Olympus). For immunofluorescence, the secondary antibodies were conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 594 (Thermo Fisher Scientific); stained cells were analysed by fluorescence microscopy (IX83, Olympus).

Confocal Microscopy of Infected Spleen Sections

For confocal microscopy of frozen spleen sections, spleens were removed at the indicated day post-infection, fixed in periodate-lysine-paraformaldehyde fixative for 48 h, and then moved to 30% sucrose/PBS solution for 24 h. Tissues were embedded in optimal-cutting-temperature medium (Electron Microscopy Sciences) and frozen in dry-ice-cooled isopentane. 16-µm sections were cut on a Leica cryostat (Leica Microsystems, Buffalo Grove, IL). Sections were blocked with 5% goat, donkey, bovine, rat, or rabbit serum and then stained with a combination of the following Abs: ERTR7 (Abcam, Boston, MA), B220 (clone RA3-6B2, Biolegend), GL7 (clone GL-7, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and CD21/35 (clone eBio4E3, eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Sections were incubated with secondary antibodies as needed and for controls, and images were acquired on a Leica SP8 or Stellaris Confocal microscope. To increase staining intensity of MHV68, spleens were stained with anti-GFP Ab (EPR14104, Abcam) and goat anti-chicken Alexa Fluor 488 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Images were processed and analyzed using Imaris software 8.0 (Oxford Instruments). Where indicated, the spots function of Imaris was used to identify and create spots for MHV68+ cells. Spots were masked on TdTomato expression inside the spot to reveal MHV68+ tdTomato+ cells, referred to as “gated.”

Antibody Production and Characterization

The following antibodies were used in this study: rabbit anti-CHC17 (one made in house and one purchased from ab172958; Abcam); mouse anti-CHC17 (X22; Abcam); rabbit anti-AP1G1 (made in house); rabbit anti-GFP (one a gift from Matthew Seaman, CIMR, Cambridge, UK, and one purchased from EPR14104; Abcam); mouse anti-HaloTag (G9211; Promega); rabbit anti-CIMPR (made in house); mouse anti-AP-2 α subunits (AC1-M11; Abcam); and mouse anti-GGA2 (a gift from Doug Brooks, University of South Australia, Australia).
In addition, a new antiserum was produced against mRuby2, which was not recognized by antibodies against other red fluorescent proteins because it comes from a different organism (Entacmaea quadricolor instead of Discosoma). The entire coding sequence was expressed as a GST fusion protein, affinity-purified using glutathione-Sepharose (GE Healthcare), and used to raise antibodies in rabbits following our established protocol (Page et al., 1999 (link)). The titer of the serum was found to be extremely high, producing very strong labeling in both immunofluorescence and Western blotting experiments when it was diluted 1:10,000, so it was not affinity purified.

Rabbit monoclonal antibody against GFP (EPR14104, ab183734), rabbit polyclonal antibody against mCherry (ab167453), and rabbit polyclonal to HIV-1 gag (p55 + p24 + p17, ab63917) were purchased from Abcam (UK). Horse-radish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit was obtained from Agilent Dako (USA). NuPAGE™ 4-12% Bis-Tris Protein Gels and iBlot™ Transfer Stacks were purchased from ThermoFisher Scientific (USA). Immunoblotted proteins were detected using the Enhanced Chemiluminescence detection system (Amersham, UK) and ChemiDoc XRS+ (Bio-Rad, USA). Pan-caspase inhibitor zVAD-FMK was purchased from Enzo Life Sciences (USA) and GrM inhibitor AcKVPL-CMK from Peptanova (Germany).

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.
