[Histonet] Hercept

[Mitchell, Jeannette M.]

What is everyone using for their Hercept antibody?  I realize that Dako
has a kit that is FDA approved.  If you are not using FDA approved
antibody(kit)  are you charging the patient for the testing?  Are the
patients allowed to received Herceptin even if the antibody is not FDA
approved?  Any insight on what people are using out there is much
appreciated.
 
Thanks again,
