Spleen was embedded in OCT compound (Sakura Finetechnical) and frozen in liquid N2. The tissue segments were sectioned with a cryostat at 8 μm. Frozen sections were fixed in cold acetone and blocked in TNB buffer (PerkinElmer Life Science) containing 5% normal rat serum. To block endogenous biotin, the sections were further treated with the Streptavidin/Biotin Blocking Kit (Vector Laboratories), and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with 1% H2O2. The primary Abs were anti-CD19-FITC mAb (cat#553785, 1D3; BD Biosciences), anti-mouse dendritic cell marker-biotin mAb (cat#130-101-843, 33D1; Miltenyi Biotec), anti-CD11c mAb-biotin mAb (cat#553800, HL3; BD Biosciences) and anti-CD3ɛ-APC mAb (cat#100312, 145-2C11; Biolegend). The CD19 signal was amplified by incubation with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-rat IgG (cat#A11006; Life Technologies). The 33D1 and CD11c staining was revealed with a TSA signal amplification kit (PerkinElmer Life Science) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The sections were incubated with Streptavidin-HRP (PerkinElmer Life Science) followed by Tyramide-Cy3 conjugate. At the end of the staining, slides were washed and mounted with Vectashield (Vector Laboratories). The stained slides were examined with a BIOREVO fluorescence microscope (BZ-9000; KEYENCE).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Ebi2-Deficient Thymus

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ebi2+/+ and Ebi2-/- 1-month thymi were embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT (Sakura) and snap frozen. 6-9 μm cryosections were prepared on a Microm HM550 Cryostat (ThermoFisher), stored at -80°C, fixed in 100% acetone at -20°C for 15min and washed 2X in PBS + 0.1% Tween 20. Immunostaining was carried out for 1h at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: anti-Pancytokeratin-FITC (C-11; Sigma-Aldrich), -Keratin5 (rabbit polyclonal antibody; Covance), -CD4-APC (FM4-5; eBiosicence), -CD8-Alexa Fluor 488(53-6.7; eBioscience), CD11c-biotin (N418; BioLegend). The TSA Signal Amplification kit (Perkin Elmer) was used to detect anti-CD11c. Donkey anti-rabbit IgG DyLight 594 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratory) and Streptavidin Alexafluor 647 (Life Technologies) secondary reagents were used for detection. Images were acquired on a DMi8 (Leica) microscope with 10x/0.4 and 20x/0.7 objectives, and processed uniformly using LasX (Leica) software.
To detect autoantibodies in mouse serum, 6-9 μm cryosections from Rag2-/- kidney sections were prepared. Cryosections were fixed in acetone as described, and incubated overnight with undiluted mouse serum at 4°C. Donkey anti-mouse IgG DyLight594 (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratory) was used to detect murine auto-antibodies, followed by a DAPI nuclear counterstain.

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.
