Paraffin-embedded sections of a colon tumor tissue array (T8235722–2, Biochain) were processed in a microwave (90 °C) with antigen-retrieval solution (pH 9) (S2367; Dako), treated with a peroxidase-blocking reagent, and then treated with a protein-blocking reagent (K130, X0909; Dako). The tissue sections were incubated with rabbit anti-EHMT2 antibody (68851; CST) followed by incubation with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Dako). Immunoreactivity was visualized using a chromogenic substrate (Liquid DAB Chromogen; Dako). Finally, the tissue specimens were stained with Mayer’s hematoxylin solution (Hematoxylin QS; Vector Laboratories) for 5 s to discriminate the nucleus from the cytoplasm [22 (link)].
