The hepatic specimens were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. Liver sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin or were subjected to Masson's trichrome stain and immunohistochemistry with antibodies against GFP (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), fibronectin (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), α-SMA (Santa Cruz, Dallas, USA), CK-7 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), CK-19 (Proteintech, Chicago, USA) and Ki-67 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Cryosectioning and Masson's Trichrome Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Explanted PTS were embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (OCT)_(Tissue-Tek Sakura, VWR), and snap frozen using liquid nitrogen. OCT blocks were cut with a cryotome into 5-μm sections. The tissue sections were then stained for collagen (blue), nuclei (black), and cytoplasmic spaces (red) using a Masson’s Trichrome stain (Abcam) as per manufacturer’s protocol. Histo-Clear II (National Diagnostics) was used as a clearing agent, the slides were mounted using Omnimount (National Diagnostics) and covered with a 1.5-mm cover slips.

Histological Analysis of Sciatic Nerve

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, mice were sacrificed, and sciatic nerves were dissected and postfixed in 10% formalin for 24 h at 4°C. Sciatic nerves were cut into three segments: proximal, injury site, and distal. Samples were then dehydrated in ethanol followed by xylene and embedded in paraffin. Sciatic nerve segments were cut transversely into 4-µm sections using a microstat (Leica Biosystems). Sciatic nerve sections were deparaffinized with xylene and rehydrated through a graded ethanol series to water before H&E staining (Sigma-Aldrich). For MBP staining, the sections were subjected to pretreatment with EDTA, pH 9.0, for 30 min. Sections were then incubated overnight with the primary antibody goat anti-MBP (1:1,000; sc-13912; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.). Immunostaining was visualized by an avidin–biotin complex method, followed by light counterstaining with hematoxylin. For the axonal visualization, 10-µm sections were cut and stained according to Palmgren’s silver stain method. Staining with Masson’s trichrome stain was performed as per the manufacturer’s protocol (Abcam).

Antimicrobial Hydrogel Wound Dressing

Pluronic F127 (PL), alginate (AL), sodium nitrite, Mayer’s hematoxylin, eosin-Y disodium salt, 2,2,2-tribromoethanol, tert-amyl alcohol (2-methyl-2-butanol) (Avertin anesthesia component), and thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). Glutathione (GSH) was purchased from Wako Pure Chemical (Osaka, Japan). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 3089 (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa 2200 (MRPA) were purchased from the Korea National Research Resource Bank (KNRRB, Seoul, Korea). BactoTM tryptic soy broth (TSB) and DifcoTM Luria Bertani (LB) media were purchased from BD Biosciences (Sparks, MD, USA). Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM), fetal bovine serum (FBS), and penicillin–streptomycin were purchased from Hyclone (Thermo Fisher Scientifc Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). Masson’s trichrome stain (connective tissue stain) was purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA). All other reagents and solvents were of analytical grade.

Tissue Staining and Digital Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sections 1 and 4 from each of the four different types of tissue preparations were mounted on a Superfrost Plus glass slides (Fisher Scientific, 12–550-15). The slides were baked at 58 °C for 60 min and stained with Masson’s trichrome stain (Abcam, ab150686) according to the manufacturer instructions. The slides were digitally scanned with the Panoramic Flash 250 scanner (3DHistech, Budapest, Hungary), using 20x/0.8NA Zeiss objective or Zeiss Lumar v.12 stereomicroscope. The regions of interest (ROIs) were manually drawn on the scanned sections, using CaseViewer software (3DHistech, Budapest, Hungary), exported into .tiff files at full resolution (0.243 mm/pixel) and analyzed using ImageJ (NIH) or MATLAB (MathWorks).

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.
