Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We collected 160 human epithelial ovarian cancer samples with accompanying patient follow-up information between January 2010 and January 2015 in the Department of Pathology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Follow-up was performed until January 1, 2020. Pathological diagnoses were reconfirmed by a pathologist. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee (Peking Union Medical College Hospital), and informed consent was obtained from patients or their family members. The details of immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and scoring were described previously (Li et al., 2010 (link); Zhang et al., 2015 (link)). The following antibodies were used: anti-EZH2, 1:200, Abcam ab191080; anti-CYP27B1, 1:500, Abcam ab206655. The intensity of immunostaining was scored as follows: 1 +, weak; 2 +, moderate; 3 +, strong; or 4 +, very strong. The area of positive staining in each microscopic field was scored as follows: 1 +, 0–25%; 2 +, 25–50%; 3 +, 50–75%; or 4 +, 75–100%. A final score between 5 and 80 was obtained by multiplying the product of the two scores by 5. A final score between 0 and 42 was considered “low expression” and a final score between 43 and 80 considered “high expression.” All pathological diagnoses were confirmed in a blinded manner by three expert pathologists.

The IHC stained tissue sections were scored by two independent pathologists blinded to the clinicopathological features. The proportion of staining was graded as 0 (< 5%), 1 (5–25%), 2 (26–50%), 3 (51–75%), and 4 (> 75%) based on the percentages of the positive staining areas vs. the whole area. The staining intensity was graded as 0 (negative), 1 (weak), 2 (medium,) or 3 (strong). The immunoreactivity score (IRS) was calculated by multiplying the score of staining proportion with staining intensity. IRS ≤ 4 was considered as low, and > 4 was considered as high.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antibodies used to quantify RUNX3 expression (ab224641) and EZH2 expression (ab191080) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). The expression of these proteins was determined using immunohistochemistry. Specimens obtained from preoperative biopsy tissue were cut into 5 μm sections. The sections were examined under a microscope. Five fields were evaluated, and the proportion of positive cells was counted, regardless of staining intensity. RUNX3 and EZH2 expression were divided into two groups: high expression group and low expression group. In the high expression group, at least 50% of the nuclei were positive whereas in the low expression group, the nucleus was less than 50% positive.

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.
