IHC analysis was performed as previously described.
17 (link) Tissue sections were incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti‐Siglec‐15 antibody (abcam, ab198684, 1:150) in TBS. Siglec‐15 immunostaining score was examined by two autonomous pathologists on the basis of intensity and percentage of positive staining cells. The detailed protocol was described in our previous studies.
