Paraffin-embedded tissue microarray was deparaffinized in xylene and ethanol (100%, 90%, and 75%, respectively) and rehydrated. The microarray was boiled in 5,000 mL EDTA (pH = 8.0) for 5 min at high pressure, and endogenous peroxidase was quenched using 0.5% hydrogen peroxide. After washing three times with PBS, the microarray was blocked with 7% normal goat serum and incubated with anti-DPYSL2 antibody (1:100) overnight at 4°C. The results were visualized using a Dako Chem-Mate EnVision kit (K500711; Dako, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, United States) and were assessed by two independent pathologists in a blinded manner. The intensity of the staining was scored as previously described (Zou et al., 2019 (link)).
