Abstract summary 

The 3D visualization based on tissue clearing technology allows us to have a deeper understanding of the 3D spatial information of deep molecules in the tissue. Tissue clearing and bacterial labeling methods have been used for in situ 3D microbiota imaging, and we have developed a pipeline for 3D visualization of in situ microbiota in human gliomas. Anti-LPS antibodies are appropriate to label and characterize bacteria in situ within tumors. However, autofluorescence (AF) is common in biological tissues, especially in brain tissues filled with lipofuscin-like (LF) substances. This natural fluorescent signal is usually considered to be a problem because it affects the 3D visualization of fluorescent signals in bacterial LPS staining. Here, we used Sudan Black B (SBB) to mask the AF of human glioma tissue and explored in detail the optimal quencher concentration, which allows 3D visualization of intratumoral bacteria to reduce AF and maintain the intensity of intratumoral bacteria-specific LPS fluorescent signals.
