Abstract
Here, the authors report a simple method to perform antigen retrieval using a commonly available commercial Instant Pot® for immunohistochemistry. It provides a validated alternative to previous antigen retrieval methods that employ water baths, microwave ovens or scientific-grade pressure cookers. The Instant Pot can be set to obtain a variety of desired temperatures and is straightforward to use, making it extremely amenable to optimization. The Instant Pot method is an easy, safe and inexpensive alternative means to perform immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections. It has been validated using several different monoclonal antibodies including ones directed against cell surface or intracellular antigens. As a result, it should be useful for a variety of research labs as well as undergraduate laboratory courses.
期刊介绍：
BioTechniques is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original laboratory methods, related technical and software tools, and methods-oriented review articles that are of broad interest to professional life scientists, as well as to scientists from other disciplines (e.g., chemistry, physics, computer science, plant and agricultural science and climate science) interested in life science applications for their technologies.
Since 1983, BioTechniques has been a leading peer-reviewed journal for methods-related research. The journal considers:
Reports describing innovative new methods, platforms and software, substantive modifications to existing methods, or innovative applications of existing methods, techniques & tools to new models or scientific questions
Descriptions of technical tools that facilitate the design or performance of experiments or data analysis, such as software and simple laboratory devices
Surveys of technical approaches related to broad fields of research
Reviews discussing advancements in techniques and methods related to broad fields of research
Letters to the Editor and Expert Opinions highlighting interesting observations or cautionary tales concerning experimental design, methodology or analysis.
