Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to a tissue antigen repair solution. Background Technology
[0002] Tissue antigen retrieval solutions are widely used reagents in biomedical research, primarily to improve the detectability of antigens in tissue sections. They are commonly used in immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence histochemistry experiments. Their main function is to restore antigens that may have been damaged or masked during tissue fixation, optimizing antibody binding ability and thus improving the sensitivity and specificity of experiments. Tissue antigen retrieval solutions typically contain buffer salts (such as phosphate or Tris buffer), enzymes, and additives to help remove substances that mask antigens. In use, tissue sections must first be dewaxed and hydrated, then immersed in the retrieval solution, appropriately treated, washed to remove residues, and finally stained with antibodies. This solution is of great significance in cancer research, histopathology, and basic biological research, effectively improving the accuracy and reliability of experimental results.
[0003] However, frozen sections are usually thicker, making it difficult to obtain a clearer visual effect. The paraffin section heat restoration method has certain drawbacks, such as poor safety when heated to 95 degrees Celsius, and the operation is time-consuming, laborious, and inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a tissue antigen repair solution to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a tissue antigen repair solution.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] This invention provides a tissue antigen repair solution, which consists of 0.125% trypsin and calcium- and magnesium-free PBS solution. The tissue antigen repair solution is prepared by dissolving 0.125% trypsin in calcium- and magnesium-free PBS solution diluted by one-fold and adjusting the pH to 7.0.
[0008] The preparation method of calcium- and magnesium-free PBS is as follows: Weigh 8.0g NaCl, 0.2g KCl, 1.44g Na2HPO4 and 0.24g KH2PO4 and dissolve them in 800mL distilled water. Adjust the solution to 7.4 with HCl and finally add distilled water to make up to 1L.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this solution are:
[0010] The tissue fluid of this invention can significantly improve the effect of antigen retrieval treatment on paraffin sections, resulting in higher image clarity and more detailed tissue structure under microscopic observation. Compared with the traditional 95°C high-temperature heat retrieval method, this tissue fluid treatment method can effectively avoid tissue sample detachment during the retrieval process. At the same time, the entire operation does not require high-temperature heating, which not only significantly improves experimental safety but also greatly simplifies the operation process, saving more time and effort.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.
[0020] Example:
[0021] This invention provides a tissue antigen repair solution, which consists of 0.125% trypsin and calcium- and magnesium-free PBS solution. The tissue antigen repair solution is prepared by dissolving 0.125% trypsin in calcium- and magnesium-free PBS solution diluted by one-fold and adjusting the pH to 7.0.
[0022] The preparation method of calcium- and magnesium-free PBS is as follows: Weigh 8.0g NaCl, 0.2g KCl, 1.44g Na2HPO4 and 0.24g KH2PO4 and dissolve them in 800mL distilled water. Adjust the solution to 7.4 with HCl and finally add distilled water to make up to 1L.
[0023] Experiments were conducted to observe the effects of four different treatment methods on the expression rates of OPN and OSX antibodies. The results showed that using the tissue antigen retrieval solution of this invention, the expression rates of both OPN and OSX antibodies reached 100%, demonstrating the best performance. After antigen retrieval treatment at 95°C, the expression rates of OPN and OSX antibodies were 85% and 80%, respectively, both maintaining high expression levels. However, when using commercially available antigen retrieval reagents, the expression rates of both OPN and OSX antibodies were 0%, making them completely undetectable. In the frozen section method, the expression rate of OPN antibody was only 50%, but the expression rate of OSX antibody was as high as 95%, indicating a significant difference in the applicability of this method to the two antibodies. In conclusion, the tissue antigen retrieval solution of this invention can simultaneously achieve complete expression of both OPN and OSX antibodies, significantly superior to the other three conventional treatment methods.
[0024] The above specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
