[Histonet] new antibody validation

[Sebree Linda A]

We have been picking (or trying to) 10 positive cases that have negative
tissue elements included.  Obviously for some hard-to-find positive
cases we need to make due with what's available.

Subject: [Histonet] new antibody validation 

ANP.22750
The laboratory has documented validation of new antibodies, prior to use
in patient diagnosis.
In the CAP's note it states that a panel of 10 positive and 10 negative
neoplasms would be sufficient for a well-characterized antibody.

How extensive a panel of tissues are laboratories using to meet this
checklist requirement?  Is it necessary to do 10 positive and 10
negatives or can it be at the discretion of the laboratory director?
