Histological Analysis of Lung Tissue

For histological analysis, lungs were inflated with 4% paraformaldehyde or formalin (3.7% formaldehyde) and fixed for 36 h. Fixed paraffin sections were rehydrated, subjected to antigen retrieval, and blocked in Tris-buffered saline (0.1% Triton X-100 containing 1% bovine serum albumin) or protein-free blocking solution (DAKO), and sequentially incubated with specific primary antibodies and biotinylated (DAKO) or Alexa Fluor-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, USA). Images were produced with a conventional microscope mounted with a DP71 digital camera (Olympus, Japan), an LSM 710 T-PMT confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany), and an AXIO Zoom.V16 and ApoTome.2 (Carl Zeiss). Images were processed with equivalent parameters using the ZEN Light Edition software (Carl Zeiss).

Immunohistochemical Staining of Immune Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Slides were de-paraffinized and re-hydrated in graded concentrations of alcohol before antigen retrieval in citrate buffer, pH 6 (Dako, Carpinteria, CA; Cat#S1699) at 50°C for 10min and rinsed in wash buffer (Dako; Cat#K8007). All staining was done in a Dako Autostainer. Slides were incubated in dual endogenous enzyme block (Dako; Cat#S2003) for 10min, protein-free blocking solution (Dako; Cat#X0909) for 20min, then in primary antibody for 60min. Primary antibodies and dilutions: mouse CD45 (Becton Dickinson Biosciences, San Jose, CA; Cat#550539), 1:400; mouse CD3 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN; Cat#MAB4841), 1:50. Staining was developed as follows: EnVision +Dual Link System HRP (Dako; Cat#K4061) for 30 min and substrate-chromogen (DAB+) Solution (Dako; Cat#K3468) for 5min. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin (Dako; Ct#S3301) for 10 min. Quantification of cells was performed by counting staining in at least three non-overlapping fields on a Zeiss Axio Imager A2 microscope.

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.
