AW: [Histonet] question about Her2 neu

[Gudrun Lang]

We had the problem, that our protocol with the dako-antibody on the
benchmark xt gave also too high scores. You have to validate your protocol
against a "gold-standard". That would be for example the hercep-test. We
switched to the ventana-antibody, with the effect, that the 3+ nearly
disappeard in our statistic.

Betreff: [Histonet] question about Her2 neu

First, is there a time frame involved for fixation for formalin issue
when running Her2neu?  If it is FDA approved is it necessary to monitor
it (time frames).  We are having a problem on our trials that the ours
are running higher (ours would be a 1+ vs. 0) than the company we
previously sent them to.  Could it be due to the fact that they don't
have an FDA approved HER 2 neu and maybe not from the same company (we
use Ventana antibodies/equipment) that we use?  Thanks for any help or
pointers in this area.

 

Please respond to my personal email any responses.
