DAB (3,30-diaminobenzidine) single-plex IHC detection was carried out initially to determine the appropriate primary antibody conditions using the Ventana Discovery Ultra automated IHC/ISH research platform (Roche Diagnostics Limited, Burgess Hill, UK) before translating to the TSA immunofluorescence.
Freshly cut 4 μm tissue sections were mounted on glass slides. Sections were placed in the Ventana Discovery Ultra and dewaxed; heat induced epitope retrieval was performed using CC1 reagent for 64 min. Primary antibodies were added by manual application and the final concentrations determined are provided in Table 1. Secondary HRP complexes and DAB were completed in a fully automated manner. Slides were washed, dehydrated through a series of alcohols and coverslipped. Slides were imaged using an Aperio CS2 whole slide scanner.
