Abstract
Multiple immunofluorescence staining using the Akoya Opal staining kit requires multiple steps and precautions. In this protocol, I provide a detailed explanation of all the required steps for staining mouse brain sections. This protocol can be used to stain other human or mouse tissue sections. This multiplex staining is a cost-effective technique that enables the visualization of the spatial distribution of six different proteins on the same tissue.

All mouse work was conducted in accordance with recognized ethical guidelines and in accordance with IACUC approval.

Ethics statement
All mouse work and tissue collection were conducted according to IACUC protocol number IS00012698R
Before start
Mouse brains were collected immediately after euthanasia. The tissue was fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for ~ 24 hours, then transferred to aqueous 70% ethanol and stored at 4°C.
Method
All brains (with or without skull) were fixed in 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin for 24 hours and then transferred to 70% ethanol and kept at 4°C. Brains with skulls were decalcified by using 12.5 % EDTA (pH 7.5, adjusted using NaOH pellets) (BP120-1, Fisher) at 4°C for 7 days. EDTA was changed every 3 days. Then all tissues were transferred to 70% ethanol and kept at 4°C. All brains were sent to the Moffitt Histology Core for Paraffin embedding and sectioning at a thickness of 4 μm. All sections were scanned with the Akoya slide scanning microscope at Moffitt Cancer Center Microscopy Core. Images were visualized using Phenochart 1.2.0 software.
Monoplex protocol
This step is to validate the antibody incubation conditions. Prepare a negative control slide.

Deparaffinization: immerse slide in Xylene, 2x 10 minutes
Rehydration: immerse slide in 100%, 95%, 70%, 50%Ethanol, distilled water for 1x 5 minutes each.
Antigen Retrieval (1hr step) (BioGenex, dilute 1:10 with DI water): Heat Antigen Retrieval Solution to boiling point in a Coplin jar (~60 seconds).
Add slides and leave in boiling buffer; re-warm every 5 minutes for 30 minutes (or continuous 30 minutes at 10% power). Leave it in the buffer until it cools (approximately 15-30 minutes).
Wash with water ddH2O for 5 minutes.
Seal the slide with a PAP pen or CS fencing seal (B type) Wipe any excess water with a Kimwipe
Blocking (30 min step): the slide with 150uL blocking (1% BSA, 2.5% Goat serum, 0.3% Triton X in PBS) for 30 minutes. No Wash between blocking and primary
Incubate with primary Ab antibody (1-hour step): Dilute the primary in the blocking solution. Add 150 μL to each slide and incubate at room temperature for 1 hour. Use a humidified box (with Wet tissue inside) and cover the slides to prevent them from drying. Cover the slides to avoid drying
Wash PBST (PBS+0.1% Triton X) or TBST (TBS+0.1% Tween) 3x 2 minutes, keep it on the rotor. Wipe any excess water with a Kimwipe
Incubate with the secondary Goat antirabbit (30 mins step). Use 2 μL (2mg/mL) with 1 mL blocking buffer to achieve a final concentration of 4 μg/mL. Add 100 μL of secondary on the section in the dark container (humidified chamber). Cover the slides to avoid drying
Wash PBST (TBST) 3x 2 minutes, keep it on the rotor. Wipe any excess water with a Kimwipe
Remove the Pap pen with a cotton swap containing xylene, and clean it with a Kim wipe (or remove the fencing seal)
Mount coverslips (use Prolong Antifade with DAPI for fluorescent stains). Keep the slides at 4 °C until the imaging.
Dropout Staining Protocol
Choose 6 sections. Prepare TBST (1X TBS + 0.1% Tween20)
Deparaffinization. Place the slides in a Coplin jar in the bead bath at 65 °C for 4 hours to allow the paraffin to melt (or 56 °C overnight). The next day, place the slides in the grey slide holder (Fig. 1A) and drop them into the xylene jar for 10 minutes, twice. Hydrate through an ethanol gradient for 5 minutes each (100%, 95%, 70%, 50%), followed by a 5-minute incubation in distilled water (Fig. 1B).
Slide Fixation. Fill a Jar with 10% Neutral Buffered Formalin and drop the slide holder into the 10% NBF for 20 minutes to fix the tissue. Follow this with a distilled water wash (immerse the slide holder in the Jar with distilled water for 5 minutes).
Antigen Retrieval/MWT. Fill a jar with 1X AR 6 solution, then boil it in the microwave at 100% power (Fig. 1C, D). Next, place the slide holders (containing the slides) in the jar and adjust the microwave to 30 minutes at 10% power. Allow the slides to cool to room temperature on the bench for at least 15 minutes. Remove the Antibody Diluent/Blocking from the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature while the AR6 is cooling.
Blocking. Wash with deionized water (ddH2O) for 5 minutes (Fig. 1E). Wipe the extra solution with a Kimwipe (Fig. 1F). Add the IHC-Fencing Seal around the tissue section (Fig. 1G). Add 3-5 drops of Antibody Diluent/Blocking (Fig. 2A, B) and incubate the tissue for 10 min at room temperature (RT). Prepare the Primary dilution during the waiting and return the Antibody Diluent/Blocking to the Fridge.
Primary Antibody Incubation. Remove the blocking solution by tapping the slides on the Bench working pad. Spin down the primary antibody tube, prepare an adequate dilution using Antibody Diluent/Blocking, and spin down the Mixture (Fig. 2C, D). Then, apply 100-150 μL of the target protein antibody for one hour. (Open the Nozzle of the Diluent bottle). Prepare the secondary before washing to allow it to come to room temperature. Wash slides with 1X TBST for 3 times, each for 2 minutes on the Rotor (Fig. 3 A-C).
Secondary Antibody Incubation. Mix Opal Polymer HRP secondary antibody ARH2001EA with Opal Polymer anti-Rabbit Diluent (1:4) and spin it down to mix it. Then apply 100- 150 μL of secondary working solution to the tissue section, then incubate for 10 min at RT (Fig. 3D, E). Remove the OPAL and the Amplification solution from the fridge to allow them to come to room temperature while waiting. Wash slides with 1X TBST for 3 times, 2 min each.
Opal Fluorophore Incubation. Prepare a 1:100 dilution of Opal of the target protein working solution. For each slide, mix 1 μL of Opal with 100 μL of the Amplification solution, spin down the mixture, then apply 100- 150 μL to the tissue and incubate for 10 min at RT (Fig. 3 F-H).
Remove IHC-Fencing Seal.
Microwave Treatment (MWT). Fill a jar with 1X AR 6 solution, then boil it in the microwave at 100%. Next, place the slide holders (containing the slides) in the jar and adjust the microwave to 15 minutes at 10% power. Allow slides to cool down to room temperature on the bench for at least 15 min.
Secondary Antibody Incubation. Mix Opal Polymer HRP secondary antibody ARH2001EA with Opal Polymer anti-Rabbit Diluent (1:4) and spin it down to mix it. Then apply 100-150 μL of secondary working solution to the tissue section, then incubate for 10 min at RT.
Wash slides with 1X TBST for 3 times, 2 min each.
Opal Fluorophore Incubation. Prepare a 1:100 dilution of the next Opal working solution. For each slide, mix 1 μL of Opal with 100 μL of the Amplification solution, spin down the mixture, then apply 100- 150 μL to the tissue and incubate for 10 min at RT. Wash slides with 1X TBST 3 times, 2 minutes each.
Spectral DAPI. Add two drops of DAPI solution to 1 mL of TBS. Discard any unused portion of DAPI Working Solution. Rinse slides in distilled water and then in TBST. Add 150 µL of DAPI Working Solution to each slide. Incubate the slides in the DAPI solution for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Wash the slides with TBST for 2 minutes, followed by 2 minutes in distilled water.
