Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression of RhoC and HMGA2 was detected by immunocytochemistry (IHC) at the protein level. The control and shRNA transfected CAL-27 (1 × 105) and SCC-15 (2 × 104) cells were, respectively, cultured in 24-well plates overnight. Next, 10% neutral buffer formalin fixative was used to fix cells for 30 min and cells were incubated with Triton X-100 for 10 min. Goat serum (10%) was used to block the cells for 1 h, which were subsequently washed with PBS 3 times. Next, cells were incubated with 3% goat serum containing antibody RhoC (ab180785, Abcam, 1 : 400) and HMGA2 (ab97276, Abcam, 1 : 500), respectively, overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed with PBS and were incubated with 3% goat serum containing the second antibody for 1 h and then stained with a diaminobenzidine (DAB) kit (ComWin Biotech Co., Ltd., China).

IHC was used to examine HMGA2 protein expression. IHC reactions were performed on slides following a standard 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining protocol. Briefly, the slides were dewaxed, rehydrated, washed with water, and then pre-treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide. The slides were boiled in antigen retrieval solution, blocked with 1% BSA, and incubated overnight in a humidified chamber at 4°C with an anti-HMGA2 monoclonal antibody (1:50, Abcam, ab97276). After incubations with biotinylated antibody and streptavidin-peroxidase, staining was developed in a solution of 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine. Slides were then counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, cleared with xylene, and mounted. Image pro plus (IPP) software was used to analyze the staining. Integral optical density (IOD) of staining was analyzed.

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.
