ALK, Cell Lines, Cancer
The availability of genetically defined reference materials, offers an industry standard for development and quality control of IHC assays, directly, thereby improving the accuracy and reproducibility.
IHC HDx™ Reference Standards provide laboratories with a consistent source of positive and negative reference material on one slide.
CELL LINE DETAILS
taining Pattern of ALK Translocation: Strong cytoplasmic granular staining pattern observed in the positive cell line core. No cytoplasmic, granular staining pattern observed in the negative cell line core. Stained on the Automated Leica BOND stainer (Cell Signalling, D5F3, #3633).
ANALYSIS DETAILS
The ALK analysis algorithm for ONCOtopix®, supports the analyzer in obtaining accurate, precise quantification of biomarker expression for ALK translocation. The APP can be configured to provide positive ratio or H-Score. Based on the H-score output, it is possible to Identify the negative, intermediate and positively reacting cores.
The combination of IHC HDx™ Cell lines and the ONCOtopix with the ALK APP, provides the basis of a high quality regent QC system.
