Immunofluorescence analysis was performed as previously described [21 (link)]. The slides were microwaved in AR9 buffer (Opal-4 Color Manual IHC kit; PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) and cooled for 30 min. Sections were then incubated in Antibody Diluent/Blocking Buffer (Opal-4 Color Manual IHC kit; PerkinElmer) for 10 min at room temperature and then incubated with primary antibodies (listed above). Triple staining was performed with antibodies against IL-8 and SerpinE1 overnight at 4 °C and antibodies against CD206 for 2 h at room temperature. Samples were washed three times in TBST for 2 min each and then incubated in Polymer HRP (Ms + Rb) (Opal-4 Color Manual IHC kit; PerkinElmer). Samples were rinsed and then washed three times in TBST for 2 min each and then incubated in Opal Fluorophore working solution (TSA Plus System; PerkinElmer) for 10 min at room temperature. Samples were rinsed in TBST, microwaved in AR9 buffer, and then mounted with VECTASHIELD Mounting Medium For Fluorescence with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Photomicrographs were obtained using a light microscope with a digital camera (BZ-X800 series; Keyence, Tokyo, Japan). The ratios of triple IL-8-, SerpinE1-, and CD206-positive cells in immune cells and tumor areas were quantified using the BZ-H4C and BZ-H4CM analytic applications.

SG samples were cut into 4‐μm–thick formalin‐fixed and paraffin‐embedded sections, and immunohistochemical staining was performed for CD11c, CD80, CD123, CD163, interleukin‐1 receptor–associated kinase 3 (IRAK3), and IRAK4, as previously described (23 (link)). Details of the antibodies used in this study are shown in Supplementary Table 2 (available on the Arthritis & Rheumatology website at https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.42043). Hematoxylin and eosin counterstaining was performed after immunohistochemical staining. For multi‐immunofluorescence analyses, the 4‐μm–thick histologic sections of SGs were stained with anti‐CD163, anti‐CD123, anti‐CD11c, anti‐IRAK4, and anti‐CD80 antibodies using an Opal 4‐Color Manual IHC Kit (catalog no.

For the cross-sectional observations, tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, processed, and embedded in paraffin. HE staining and Masson’s trichrome staining were performed using conventional methods. The following primary antibodies purchased from Abcam, Cambridge, UK were used. A monoclonal mouse anti-human serum albumin antibody (ab7793), a polyclonal rabbit anti-human CD31 antibody (ab28364), a monoclonal mouse anti-human CK18 antibody (ab82254), a monoclonal rabbit anti-human CK19 antibody(ab76539), a monoclonal rabbit anti-alpha Fetoprotein antibody (ab169552) and a monoclonal rabbit anti-human CYP3A4 antibody (ab124921). For immunohistochemistry, HRP detection was performed based on the micropolymer chemistry of the ImmPRESS™ Reagent (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) (Invitrogen) and Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H + L) (Life Technologies;) or Opal 4-Color Manual IHC kit (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) were used for the immunofluorescence staining. Images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (BZ-X700, Keyence) and a confocal laser-scanning microscope (FV10i, Olympus).

Paraffin blocks of intestinal tissues derived from the AGLCD patient and 6–11 samples from different anatomical sites of 3 to 7 CD patients were cut and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or by immunohistochemistry using antibodies listed in Supplementary Table 4. For antibody detection, the Opal 4-Color Manual IHC Kit (PerkinElmer) was used. Multispectral images were acquired using a Vectra® 3 imaging system (PerkinElmer). Positive cells were quantified in 10 high power fields (field of vision in ×400 original magnification) by inForm software (PerkinElmer). All evaluations were performed in a blinded manner. For the acquisition of immunofluorescence images depicted in Fig. 4d an AxioImager Z1 (Zeiss) was used.

Polychromatic Immunofluorescence Staining of GAMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three AAmut and three AOD samples were collected for polychromatic immunofluorescence staining. Four percent formalin was used to fix the AG specimens and the specimens were embedded in paraffin blocks. For polychromatic immunofluorescence, 3 µm paraffin sections were washed in PBS twice, and permeabilized in 0.2 to 0.5% Triton X-100 (Solarbio). Then the paraffin sections were blocked in 5% normal donkey serum (Jackson Lab) and stained with primary antibody. Fluorescent-conjugated secondary antibodies (ZSGB-Bio) were used to detect the primary antibodies. Fluorescence mounting medium (Dako) was used to mount the sections. As previously described (18 (link)), we used the Opal 4-Color Manual IHC Kit (Perkin Elmer) for the analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded AG sections following the manufacturer’s protocols. Zeiss LSM880 NLO microscope was used to acquire fluorescent images. Primary antibodies were anti-CD45 (OriGene), anti-lba1 (CST), and anti-CD206 (Proteintech). GAMs were defined based on cells that costained with CD45 and lba1. CD206+ GAMs were defined based on cells that were costained with CD45, lba1, and CD206. The percentage of CD206+ GAMs was defined by (CD206+ GAMs)/GAMs.

Multiplex IHC staining was performed to examine the co-expression of ATAD2 and Ki-67 in OC tissue sections on a commercially obtained OC tissue microarray (OV241c; containing 12 primary OC tissues) from Alenabio using an Opal™ 4-Color Manual IHC kit (PerkinElmer, Inc.). Briefly, the sections were first incubated with a specific ATAD2 antibody (1:1,000; catalog no. HPA029424; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) for 1 h at room temperature, followed by incubation with a goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G antibody (1:5,000; catalog no. NEL840001KT, PerkinElmer, Inc.) for 1 h at room temperature and subsequently labeled with Opal 520 fluorophore (PerkinElmer, Inc.). For Ki-67 staining, an anti-Ki67 antibody (1:1,000; catalog no. ZM-0166; OriGene Technologies, Inc.) was used at room temperature for 1 h and Opal 690 fluorophore (PerkinElmer, Inc.) was used for labeling. Finally, nuclei were stained with DAPI (PerkinElmer, Inc.) for 30 min at room temperature and mounted with anti-fade medium. The inForm 2.4.2 software (PerkinElmer, Inc.) was used to analyze the multispectral images.

After that, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at RT and were stained. The rabbit monoclonal primary antibody anti-villin (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, cat. no. ab130751) at a dilution of 1:100 and PPARα (GeneTex, Hsinchu, Taiwan, cat. no. GTX28934) at a dilution of 1:100 was used.

Formalin fixed paraffin-embedded specimens from 70 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical resection of tumor tissue were included in this study and analyzed by multiplex fluorescent immunohistochemistry (IHC) under an approved Institutional Review Board protocol. These patients did not receive chemoradiotherapy or immunotherapy before surgery. The primary antibodies and IHC metrics were: rabbit anti-human CCL28 (Invitrogen, 1:1500), rabbit anti-human CCR10 (Proteintech, 1:800), mouse anti-human FoxP3 (Abcam, 1:500). Multiplex fluorescent staining was obtained using Opal 4-Color Manual IHC Kit (NEL810001KT, PerkinElmer). Slides were scanned and visualized using the TissueFAXSi-plus imaging system (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria; acquisition software: TissueFAXS v7.0.6245) equipped with a digital Pixelink color camera (PCO AG). Multispectral images were analyzed with StrataQuest software v7.0.1.165 (TissueGnostics). The correlations of different biomarkers were evaluated by Spearman's correlation analysis (P < 0.05). Kaplan–Meier Log Rank test was used to perform univariate survival analysis. SPSS (version 25.0, IBM) and GraphPad Prism (version 8.0.1, US) were used for statistical analysis.

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.
