A sandwich ELISA was used to determine the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α cytokines in sera of IFN-I signal-competent and -incompetent mice following JEV infection. ELISA plates were coated with IL-6 (MP5-20F3), TNF-α (1F3F3D4) anti-mouse Ab purchased from eBioscience, and then incubated overnight at 4 °C. The plates were washed three times with PBS containing 0.05% Tween (PBST), after which they were blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin for 2 h at 37 °C. The sera and standards for recombinant cytokine proteins (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ) were added to the plates, which were then incubated for 2 h at 37 °C. The plates were washed again with PBST, and biotinylated IL-6 (MP5-32C11) and TNF-α (MP6-XT22) Ab were added. Next, the plates were incubated overnight at 4 °C, followed by washing with PBST and subsequent incubation with peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin (eBioscience) for 1 h. Color development was then performed by the addition of a substrate (ABTS) solution. Cytokine concentrations were determined with an automated ELISA reader and SoftMax Pro3.4 according to comparisons with two concentrations of standard cytokine proteins.

Embryos were dissected from the uterus in PBS at a designated post-coitum day (or embryonic day). Embryos were decapitated and the heads were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) overnight at 4°C and embedded in paraffin. Specimens were sectioned coronally (6 μm) and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histological examination.
The HA content in the craniofacial mesenchyme was examined on coronal sections using biotinylated hyaluronic acid binding protein (b-HABP) (EMD Millipore). After deparaffinization and rehydration, sections were digested with 10 μg/ml pepsin in 0.1N HCl for 10 minutes to remove endogenous HABP. After washing in PBS, sections were incubated with b-HABP (1:500 dilution) followed by peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin (ThermoFisher Scientific) and DAB substrate (Vector Labs).
Cell proliferation was determined using BrdU immunohistochemistry. BrdU (5-Bromo-2’ deoxyuridine) (Sigma) was injected at 0.1mg/gram body weight 2 hours before specimens were harvested. Anti BrdU mouse monoclonal (BD Biosciences) was used at a 1:200 dilution. Immunohistochemistry was carried out on coronal sections using Histostain-Plus IHC Kit (ThermoFisher Scientific) and DAB substrate Kit (Vector Labs) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The percentage of BrdU-positive nuclei versus total nuclei in the entire palatal shelves was calculated as the BrdU labeling index.

Quantitative Immunohistochemistry for PHF14 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were processed into paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens. Sections were incubated with anti-PHF14 (produced in our own laboratory) followed by biotinylated secondary antibodies and peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Finally, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin and examined. Positivity for PHF14 positive cells and staining intensity was assessed semi-quantitatively by three independent investigators without prior knowledge of the clinical follow-up data. Cases were accepted as positive only if reviewers independently defined them as such. The percentage of positive cells was rated as follows: 1, 1-10% positive cells; 2, 11-50% positive cells; 3, 51-75% positive cells; and 4, >75% positive cells. Staining intensity was scored as follows: 1, negative; 2, weak; 3, moderate; and 4, intensive. The scores for the percentage of positive cells and the scores for expression intensity were multiplied to calculate an immunoreactive score (IRS): 1-4 +/−; 5-8 = weak staining; 9-12 = moderate staining; and 13-16 = strong staining.

The kidneys were fixed in 10% formaldehyde overnight at 4°C and processed for paraffin-embedding according to standard procedures. Sections were cut at 3-µm thicknesses. For immunohistochemical analyses, some tissue sections were subjected to antigen retrieval by microwaving or autoclaving for 10 or 15 min in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by a 10-min incubation with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Sections were washed with PBS and subsequently incubated with 1.5% normal goat serum for 20 min, followed by overnight incubation with primary 1∶200 anti-TLR2 antibody at 4°C.
