HI Patsy,
 In addition to EGFr issue, i use Egfr antibody from Zymed and our pathologist like it. I also tried polyclonal  from Bio Care and it is very good too. Currently, we do not have plans to evaluate and EGFR kit, we are confident with our developed protocol for the EGFr antibody we are currently using. We did pretty good with The CAP Survey samples using EGFR. We placed confidently in good percent of agreement with results from other labs.
Thank you,
Loui

Yes, and it's very expensive!  We evaluated their EGFr kit a while ago
along with two other mAbs (BioGenex and Zymed).  We actually prefer the
Zymed antibody.  Patsy, is the rabbit mAb that you are using from Lab
Vision?

Deb,
This is a very important issue and I hope that we all get fed back on
this.
I am using the rabbit monoclonal egfr antibody on  some research
samples,
but not the kit.  I have very little data yet to report.  Is DAKO
selling
the EGFR kit?

Hi and I would like feedback from clinical folks out there--------have
you
started running your EGFR kits on patients yet????  How is the
staining????
I ran a number of random cases and seem to be getting darker staining
and
more cytoplasmic reaction than suggested.  My negs are great and
clean-kit
exactly followed.  My cervix is much darker than in picture in old
guide and
the diffuse cytoplasmic staining predominated most cases making the
membrane
staining hard to evaluate.  What is your experience?? Most of my cases
are 6
months or less tissue cases.
