Figure Lengend Snippet: Mononuclear and multinucleated cells stained with ED1 (arrow) are visible on the surface of the implant (I) ( a , 14 days, coated and b , 30 days, uncoated). ( c ) Comparing the number of positive cells among the different time points, no statistically significant difference is evident between the two implant types. ctd—coated and unctd—uncoated.
Article Snippet: For immunohistochemistry grindings were deacrylated in 2-Methoxyethyl acetate for 15 min, hydrated in acetone–acetone/washing buffer–washing buffer (TBS-X: Tris-NaCl, pH 7.4: 0,05 M Tris, Roth, 4855; 0,15 M NaCl, Sigma-Aldrich, 31434, 0,025% TritonX-100, Sigma-Aldrich, X100), blocked 10 min in 3% H 2 O 2 in TBS-X, rinsed in TBS-X, incubated 60 min at room temperature in primary antibody against rat CD68 (ED1, Sigma-Aldrich, MAB 1435) 1:5000 in Antibody Diluent (Dako, S302283), 45 min incubation in secondary antibody (biotinylated rabbit-anti-mouse (Dako, E0354) 1:400 in TBS, 1%BSA (Sigma-Aldrich, A3912), 12.5% Rat Serum (Sigma-Aldrich, R9759), rinsed in TBS-X, incubated in StreptABComplex/HRP (Dako, K0377), after rinsing incubated in NovaRed (Vector, USA, SK-4800), counterstained with Shandon Instant Hematoxylin (Thermo Scientific, Kalamazoo, MI, USA, 6765014), blued in tap water, dehydrated with ethanol and xylene and covered with DePex (Serva, 18243).
