Figure Lengend Snippet: Immunohistochemistry IS. Histograms representative of mean immunohistochemistry IS for Nodal, Cripto-1 and Notch4 staining in nevi from patients with or without a Hx of melanoma and in cutaneous and metastatic melanoma (*P<0.05; t -test). IS, index score; Hx, history.
Article Snippet: Briefly, following antigen retrieval and blocking steps, sections were incubated in primary antibody for 60 min [mouse monoclonal anti-Nodal (1:200 dilution; cat no. ab55676; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA); rabbit polyclonal anti-Notch4 (1:80 dilution; cat no. sc-5594; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA); rabbit polyclonal anti-Cripto-1 (1:1500 dilution; cat no. 600-401-997; Rockland Scientific International Inc., Limerick, PA, USA)], followed by ready-to-use anti-rabbit (cat no. GR602H) or anti-mouse (cat no. GM601H) biotinylated secondary antibody (Biocare Medical Inc., Concord, CA, USA), and then streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase (ThermoFisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA).
