Sections of paraformaldehyde fixed human tissue samples from fresh cadavers donated to the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology of the Medical University of Innsbruck were stained with rabbit anti-ITGAV (ab179475, Abcam, UK), mouse anti-ITGA5 (MA5-15568, Thermo Scientific, Austria), mouse anti-Fibronectin (MS-1351, Thermo Scientific, Austria) or rabbit anti-PLIN1 ((D1D8) XP, cell signaling, USA) antibodies applying a Ventana Roche Discovery Immunostainer (Ventana, Germany) according to the DAB-MAP discovery research standard procedure. A biotinylated immunoglobulin cocktail of goat anti-mouse-IgG, goat anti-mouse-IgM, goat anti-rabbit-IgG and protein block (760–4205, Ventana) was applied for 30 min at room temperature. Hematoxylin (760–2021, Ventana) counterstained sections were manually dehydrated in downgraded alcohol series, cleared in xylene and permanently cover slipped with Entellan® (Merck, Germany). Positive controls (placenta, liver) and negative control slides were added to each experiment to validate the IHC staining reactions. Digital images were acquired using AxioVision microscope software linked to an AxioCamHRc camera and an AxioPlan2 microscope (Zeiss, Germany). Because the dead bodies were immediately anonymized no certificate of non-objection was needed.

TUNEL Assay for Apoptosis Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In situ detection of apoptotic cells was carried out using the TUNEL assay kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Millipore). Briefly, sections were deparaffinized and washed in PBS, followed by proteinase K pretreatment and endogenous peroxidase activity quenching. Labeling was performed by adding terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase enzyme mix to the tissue sections, and the reaction was stopped by immersing slides in stop buffer followed by three PBS washes. After adding anti-digoxigenin conjugate to the slide, the color was developed using a diaminobenzidine peroxidase substrate kit (Vector Laboratories Inc.). Last, the slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Ventana) and coverslipped. Images were captured with an Olympus DP70 camera attached to an Olympus BX51 microscope using a ×20 objective.

Formalin fixed tissues were dehydrated, embedded in paraffin and sectioned at 4 μm. A positive control was added on the right side of the slides. The slides were warmed up to 60°C for 1 hour, followed by fully automated processing. The ARPC1B immunostaining was calibrated on a Benchmark XT staining module (Ventana Medical Systems). Briefly, after sections were dewaxed and rehydrated, a CC1 Standard Benchmark XT pretreatment (Ventana Medical Systems) for antigen retrieval was selected. ARPC1B antibody (Novus Biologicals, USA, NBP1-90114) was diluted 1:100 and incubated 40 minutes at 37°C. Detection and counterstaining were performed with an ultraView detection kit (Ventana Medical Systems) and hematoxylin (Ventana Medical Systems), respectively. At the end of the automated run, slides were dehydrated by passage through increasing concentrations of ethanol. Sections were then cleared in xylene and mounted with Entellan followed by analysis by a pathologist.

Comprehensive Necropsy and Histological Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A complete necropsy was performed, and appropriate tissue samples were taken for histologic evaluation. All tissues were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin, processed conventionally, embedded in paraffin, cut at 5 microns, stained with Hematoxylin and eosin, and evaluated by light microscopy by at least one board-certified veterinary pathologist. Histochemical staining for periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), Gomori’s methenamine silver (GMS), Giemsa, and Gram’s stain were performed according to standard protocol. For immunohistochemical labeling, reagents were procured from Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ, USA. All stains were completed using the Ventana BenchMark Ultra automatic stainer (Ventana Medical Systems, Inc., Tucson, AZ, USA) with the UltraView DAB detection kit (Ventana Medical Systems, Cat # 760-500). Immunohistochemical labeling was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, 4 um thick sections of the thoracic mass as well as the myocardium. Slides were deparaffinized, and treated with Hier in CC1 at 95°C for 36 minutes, incubated with primary antibody, and counterstained with Hematoxylin (Ventana catalog number 760–2021)/Bluing (Ventana catalog number 760–2037) for 4 minutes each. The specific primary antibodies and their respective incubation temperatures are listed in Table 1.

The fixed bone tumors were decalcified for 7 d before embedding in paraffin. The embedded tibias and lungs were sectioned and stained with H&E, or IHC for CD99 (ARUP Laboratories, Salt Lake City, UT). The expression of CD99 was detected using clone O-13 anti-mouse antibody (1:200 dilution) for 2 h at 37°C. Biotinylated secondary antibody (1:100) was applied for 32 min at 37°C. Signals were detected with a streptavidin-HRP system, using 3-3′ diaminobenzidine as the chromogen (Research DAB Detection Kit; Ventana Medical Systems, Tucson, AZ). The slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Ventana Medical Systems) for 8 min, gently washed in deionized H2O/Dawn detergent mixture, placed in iodine for 30 s, then dipped in sodium thiosulfate, dehydrated in graded alcohols (70%, 95% ×2, and 100% ×2), and cleared in xylene; coverslips were then mounted (Sheryl Tripp at ARUP and Y.-C.L. at the Huntsman Cancer Institute). The tibia and lung sections were evaluated by an independent clinical pathologist (A.G.) in a blind study.

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.
