DAY ONE Paraffin sections: 1) Deparaffinize: Xylene , 3x, 5 min each 2) Rehydrate: 100% EtOH, 2x, 5 min each 95% EtOH, 2x, 5 min each 80% EtOH, 1x, 5 min 50% EtOH, 1x, 5 min Proceed to Antigen Retrieval below (step 3) Cryo sections (starting with slides that have been baked @ 50°C, 30min): 1) Fix in 4% PFA/PBS, 15min 2) rinse with PBS, 3x, 5 min each Proceed to Antigen Retrieval below (step 3) 3) Antigen Retrieval: [Vector Labs: Antigen Unmasking Solution #H3300] For 200 mL: 200mL dH2O 2 mL unmasking solution a) Fill a rectangular dish 1/3 full with dH20. This will be used as a water bath for the glass jar containing the diluted unmasking solution. Place glass jar containing above solution in the bath and heat in microwave until unmasking solution is visibly boiling – about 5-8 min. (I usually start preparing this when I’m towards the end of the rehydration steps outlined above) b) Place slides from step 2 into hot unmasking solution. Cover with lid. Transfer entire jar from water bath to bench top. Leave covered for 5 min at RT. c) Cool at RT, 5 min with glass lid off. d) rinse in dH2O, 2x, 5 min each 4) Quench: 13.3 mL 30% H2O2 186.7 mL PBS 200 mL PBS/ 2% H2O2 a) quench 1 min b) rinse in PBS, 5 min IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY on PARAFFIN OR CRYOSECTIONS USING VECTASTAIN ABC ELITE KIT: 5) Block: a) Block I: 100 mL PBS 1 g Bovine Albumin (Sigma A-9418) PBS + 1% BSA = PBA 1 hr, RT b) Block II: PBA 2% serum from animal used to produce 2° antibody (provided by Vectastain Kit, Vector Labs) 150 μl per slide 30 min, RT 6) 1° Antibody: a) dilution of choice in PBA b) humidity chamber, 4°C, overnight DAY TWO 1) rinse slides in PBS, 2x, 5 min each 2) 2° Antibody: [biotinylated, VectaStain kit] a) 1:200 dilution in PBA (ex. 5μl antibody per 1000μl PBA) b) humidity chamber, RT, 1 hr *MEANWHILE* make avidin-biotinylated peroxidase conjugate: 5 mL PBS 2 drops Reagent A. mix well 2 drops Reagent B. mix well VectaStain Elite ABC Reagent Let sit at RT, 30 min before use c) rinse slides in PBS, 2x, 5 min each 3) VectaStain Conjugation: a) 30 min, RT IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY on PARAFFIN OR CRYOSECTIONS USING VECTASTAIN ABC ELITE KIT: b) rinse in PBS, 2x, 5 min each 4) Visualization: DAB Substrate Kit for Peroxidase [VectorLabs #SK4100]: 5 mL dH2O 2 drops DAB substrate buffer. Mix well 4 drops DAB. Mix well 2 drops H2O2. Mix well 2 drops nickel-cobalt solution. Mix well a) use immediately upon making solution, 2-10 min usually enough to stain b) stop reaction by rinsing with dH2O, 5 min c) counterstain if desired 5) Dehydrate: 95% EtOH, 2x, 2 min each 100% EtOH, 2x, 2 min each Toluene, 2x, 2 min each 6) Mount in Permount. Dry overnight
