Summary: This is a guide for immunostaining CLARITY-processed samples. dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.8jihukeThese steps are meant to be a guide for immunostaining large samples and should be optimized to suit your particular tissues and reagents. Large tissue volumes and dense tissue types will require longer incubation and wash times. The parameters suggested below are for a piece of human tissue (thymus, spleen, or lymph node) approximately 5 mm3 in size.A useful link: http://wiki.claritytechniques.org/index.php/Immunostaining

Summary: Multiplex imaging of lymph node, thymus and spleen is accomplished using the Akoya Biosciences CODEX system at the HubMAP Tissue Mapping Center at the University of Florida, TMC-UF.This protocol is an overview of the CODEX raw data acquisition process guided by the CODEX Instrument Manager (CIM) , which is part of the CODEX Software Suite. The CODEX Instrument Manager is necessary to perform CODEX experiments. It controls the fluidics of the CODEX instrument the integration and synchronization with the Keyence microscope, image data formatting and facilitates transfer of data to the analysis computer.For more information, consult the Akoya Biosciences CODEX User Manual - A.0.

Summary: This protocol describes the method for antibody staining of FFPE tissues on coverslips using CODEX Barcoded Antibodies. Included are the stepwise protocols for pre-staining, deparaffinization, antigen retrival, antibody staining and post-fixation. The enitre process requires approximately 6.5 hours, including a 3 hour incubation. Except as noted, reagents and consumables should be prepared before being the protocol. Stained tissues can be stored in CODEX Storage Buffer at 4º C for up to 2 weeks for use in CODEX multiplex imaging.

Summary: This SOP describes the tuning of an Imaging Mass Cytometer (IMC). The tuning processencompasses parameters such as Interface alignment, gas flow rate optimizations, laserpower optimization and detector voltage optimization. All these factors aim at having amachine that performs equally over time.The machine needs to pass specifications listed in this SOP in order to be used for dataacquisition.Machines do not need to be tuned daily but at least twice per week and upon every startup.Additionally, the adjustment of the laser energy is described in this SOP, whichneeds to be performed every 3 weeks.

Summary: The Zeiss Lightsheet 7 is used to quickly and efficiently scan large tissue volumes using laser light sheet illumination. The focused laser sheets and imaging plane are static while the tissue is moved throughout the selected volume for three dimensional image acquisition. This protocol will cover the procedures used for the day of light sheet image acquisition.Setting the acquisition volume: Large scanning volumes are composed of multiple z-stack being stitched back together based on overlapping edges of the scanning window. This requires setting an overall z-stack, which must include the entirety of tissue as covered by adjoining z-stacks. This becomes tricky when considering irregularly shaped tissues and their orientation relative to the various laser and imaging objectives.Dual-side light sheet alignment: To obtain a strong and clear image from large tissues it is helpful to illuminate the sample with both the left and right laser. Each laser sheet can be angled slightly within the focal plane to account for differences in the R.I. of the tissue and R.I. media (TDE). This is a manual tuning process and is not intended for major R.I. differences.Protocol Overview:- Refractive index matching of cleared tissue samples. - Mounting tissue onto sample holder.- Image acquisition in Zen 3.1 LS (black edition), including: - Setting the acquisition volume - Dual-sided light sheet alignment

Summary: Microtomy Tracking Sheet for CODEX SpecimensThe process of sectioning CODEX specimens presents tediously at the tissue block trimming and microtomy stage.As you begin to cut into a new or already used tissue block, you must keep track of how many microns of tissue are removed from the section during trimming, and also during microtomy.Attached is a generic document that is used to keep record of what tissue block is being cut. All identification factors, trimming data, what tissue sections were used and their purpose, as well as storage information. Formal logging of how far into the tissue block you have traveled as well as how many sections were used is an extremely important and necessary function in this process.
