For each patient, the whole available tissue specimen/block was cut and subsequent slides were stained in the Department of Pathology at Kiel University for CD3 (clone SP7, Waltham, MA, USA), CD20 (clone L26, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), CD30 (clone BerH2, maintained at the Department of Pathology, Kiel, Germany) and CD68 (clone PG-M1, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), using a Leica-Bond-Max stainer (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). The slides were scanned (Hamamatsu Nanozoomer, Hamamatsu Photonics, Ammersee, Germany) and the resulting images were processed by TissueStudio 64, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations (Definiens AG, Munich, Germany). The area ranged between 4-455 mm2 (link) (mean: 133.81 mm2 (link), standard deviation [SD]: 80.84 mm2 (link)) (Online Supplementary Figure S1). Since we included the entire lymph node in the analysis, any heterogeneity of cell distribution did not influence our data. Cutting artifacts, and overstained or unstained areas were manually excluded from the analysis. Adjusting the threshold based on several representative locations on the sample also ensured that the setting for analysis for each sample had been selected to cover the specific staining of the lymph node. See the Online Supplementary Methods for a detailed description and statistics.

Paraffin-embedded carotid arteries were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated in graded ethanol, and subjected to immunostaining. Immunohistochemistry was performed on serial sections, as described previously [9 (link)]. The primary antibodies used were macrophage marker CD68 clone PG-M1 (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), smooth muscle actin (SMC) clone 1A4 (Dako), ferritin, TfR (Dako), and thrombin receptor (protease-activated receptor 1, Sigma, Saint Louis, USA). The immunoreactions were visualized using the EnVision+/horseradish peroxidase (Dako) method and ChemMate EnVision Detection Kit (Dako). Control sections without primary antibodies or with non-immune IgG were run for each protocol, resulting in consistently negative results. The slides were counterstained with hematoxylin.
All histological sections were examined under a light microscope, and the images were digitalized with the Image Grabber program (Toronto, ON, Canada). The microscope was set on the same parameters used to scan all samples. The randomly digitalized images were analyzed with Adobe Photoshop (v5.5) as described previously [9 (link)]. The individual responsible for the analysis was blinded to patient information.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single- or double-staining procedures were applied for the TMA material with the antibodies to claudin-2 (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat# 32-5600), CD68 (clone PG-M1; Dako, Inc., Denmark), and pan-cytokeratin antibody (clone AE1/AE3; Dako, Inc., Denmark). The abundance of the claudin-2 in tumor cells was evaluated as an integrated score, considering intensity of the expression and percentage of positive cells, using a four-graded scale (negative (0), weak (1), moderate (2), or strong (3)) and then dichotomized for survival analysis. Claudin-2-positive macrophage score was based on the quantity of marker-positive macrophages, irrespective of expression intensity. Claudin-2-positive CAF score was based on the abundance of dot-like expression (quantity of dots per area) irrespective of expression intensity. Evaluation of the ICH was performed by two pathologists: IH for SPCRC cohort (blinded to clinical and outcome data of SPCRC cohort) and AM for NORDIC-VII cohort (blinded to clinical and outcome data of NORDIC-VII).
