Whole-mount staining coupled to a UV-inducible basal cell carcinoma murine model

The origin of basal cell carcinomas (BCC) remains elusive. This protocol combines the use of an ultraviolet (UV)-inducible BCC murine model (K14CrexPtch(wt/lox)) and an optimized protocol for florescent whole-mount cytokeratin 17 immunostaining to address the spatiotemporal dynamics of BCC formation...

Sumario:The origin of basal cell carcinomas (BCC) remains elusive. This protocol combines the use of an ultraviolet (UV)-inducible BCC murine model (K14CrexPtch(wt/lox)) and an optimized protocol for florescent whole-mount cytokeratin 17 immunostaining to address the spatiotemporal dynamics of BCC formation. The high-resolution three-dimensional confocal images are an excellent tool to visualize and quantify the distribution of skin cancers at a given time point. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Roy et al. (2020).
