After routinely dewaxing and hydration, serial paraffin sections of ileum were blocked with sheep serum and detected with antibodies against p16 (#ab211542, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, United States) and occludin (#sc-133256, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., United States). Then, Duolink Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) in situ fluorescence (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) was performed following the manufacturer’s instructions with Duolink in situ PLA probe anti-mouse PLUS (#DUO92001), Duolink in situ PLA probe anti-rabbit MINUS (#DUO92005), Duolink in situ detection reagents Red (#DUO92008), and Duolink in situ wash buffer fluorescence (#DUO82049). The PLA signal (λex 594 nm, λem 624 nm; Texas Red) was analyzed (Chen et al., 2020 (link)).
