Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) represents an excellent method for profiling gene amplification in situ, but correlation with tissue morphology is difficult because of dark-field visualization. Validation of a bright-field assay for assessment of HER-2/neu gene amplification was investigated. Streptavidin-Nanogold was used to generate bright-field gene copy signals using GoldEnhance gold-based autometallography, catalyzed reported deposition, and a biotin-labeled probe. One hundred cases of invasive breast carcinoma were evaluated for which FISH gene copy results, and mRNA and oncoprotein gene expression, were known. Autometallographic signals were qualitatively evaluable without the use of oil immersion microscopy. Results correlated well with indirect and direct label FISH. Autometallographic gold-based in situ hybridization represents a promising bright-field assay for the assessment of HER-2/neu gene amplification.
荧光原位杂交(FISH)是一种用于原位分析基因扩增的优秀方法,但由于暗视野可视化,与组织形态学的相关性很难建立。我们对一种用于评估HER-2/neu基因扩增的明视野检测方法进行了验证研究。使用链霉亲和素-纳米金,通过金增强型基于金的自动金相法、催化报告沉积法和生物素标记探针来产生明视野基因拷贝信号。对100例浸润性乳腺癌病例进行了评估,这些病例的FISH基因拷贝结果、mRNA和癌蛋白基因表达情况已知。无需使用油浸显微镜即可对自动金相信号进行定性评估。结果与间接和直接标记FISH的结果相关性良好。基于金的自动金相原位杂交是一种很有前景的用于评估HER-2/neu基因扩增的明视野检测方法。
