Abnova™ ERBB2/CEN17 CISH Probe

ERBB2/CEN17 CISH Probe is designed for the qualitative detection of the human ERBB2 gene and chromosome 17 alpha satellites in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens by chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH).

Supplier:  Abnova™ CG0006

Catalog No. 89-335-541

Description

The probe is intended to be used in combination with the CISH Implementation Kit 2, which provides necessary reagents for specimen pretreatment and post-hybridization processing.

Hybridization signals of digoxigenin-labeled polynucleotides appear as dark green colored distinct dots (ERBB2 gene region), and dinitrophenyl-labeled polynucleotides appear as bright red colored distinct dots (CEN 17).
Normal situation: In interphases of normal cells or cells without an amplification involving the ERBB2 gene locus, two green signals and two red signals appear.
Aberrant situation: In cells with amplification of the ERBB2 gene locus, an increased number of gene specific signals or signal clusters are visible. Other signal distribution may be observed in some abnormal samples which might result in a different signal pattern than described above, indicating variant rearrangements.
Unexpected signal patterns should be further investigated.
