( E ) Left panel: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human BM slides were sequentially stained for DAPI (blue), CD45 (yellow), SPP1 (red), CD271 (pink), and NCAM1 (cyan) and scanned with an OlympusVS120 slide scanner. Left upper image: all markers are shown; left lower image: just NCAM1 channel is shown. Middle panel: confocal laser scanning analysis of BM biopsies co-stained with CD271 (red), NCAM1 (green), SPP1 (white), and DAPI (blue) presented as 3D orthographic cross-section view. Right panel: Single staining channel data for CD271 (red), NCAM1 (green), SPP1 (white), and corresponding blow-ups for indicated areas. NCAM1, SPP1 and CD271(NGFR). White scale bars represent 50 μm and yellow scale bars represent 25 μm. White dashed lines indicate the trabecular bone surface lining regions.

    Article Snippet: For SPP1 staining, after deparaffinization, rehydration, and antigen retrieval, slides were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X100 (Sigma Ultra, T9284) solution at 37 °C for 15 min, blocked using donkey serum (Jackson Immuno Research, 017-000-121), and stained overnight at 4 °C with goat anti-human SPP1 antibody (R&D Systems, AF1433-SP), followed by secondary staining with donkey anti-goat AF594 (Jackson ImmunoResearch, 706-585-147) and staining with CD56 (NCAM1)-AF647 plus DAPI.
