Workflow Consulting
Our consultants are trained experts in Lean Six Sigma—and they are your biggest advocates as prior lab staff themselves.
Our team brings you:
Experience
Have a tough challenge? We have probably tackled one like it before. Our team has completed more than 125 anatomical
pathology lab projects to date all around the world. A typical Workflow Consulting engagement is five days, during which
the consultant observes and documents Lean workflow opportunities, compiles findings and shares detailed improvement
recommendations with the lab’s leadership and staff.
Proven success
Our track record for success is proven in many labs worldwide. In fact, one recent customer reports a drop in slide
identification errors—from 1.87% slide errors to .00003%—after a workflow assessment and VENTANA VANTAGE
installation.
Cutting-edge practices
We are focused on integrating new technologies, IT systems and hardware with the most efficient workflow to help you
reach optimal performance.
Partnership
Our consultants are your partners in long-term lab improvement, so if you have questions three weeks or three months
after the project is complete, we are at your service.
Accessioning to archiving
Our workflow consultants will partner with you to make your lab’s process easy, fast and reliable. When we look at your
lab, we see the big picture. Working closely with your team, we will identify and address the opportunities to optimise
your workflow. Optimise your lab’s performance from the moment you receive a sample to the time you deliver a valued
patient’s response.

Alcian Blue Staining Kit demonstrates weakly acidic mucopolysaccharides. At pH 2.5, Alcian Blue stains sulphated mucins, usually
epithelial in origin (and usually PAS-negative), with some occurrences in connective tissue, e.g. in subcutaneous tissue in thyroid
deficiency, (myxedema) and in myxomas. It also stains carboxylated sialomucins found in the mucins of submaxillary glands, small intestine
and upper colon, and sulphated and carboxylated acid mucopolysaccharides. Some examples of components that stain positive with alcian
blue are goblet cells, hyaluronic acid (found in umbilical cord and connective tissue in dermis), salivary glands and gastric lining cells.
Alcian Blue (pH 2.5) may be helpful in detecting genetic disorders of acid mucosubstance metabolism and collagen diseases where various
acid mucosubstances are increased. The presence of acid mucosubstances tends to decline with advancing age.

Description
Mucicarmine Staining Kit is used to detect acid mucopolysaccharides (mucin). Mucin is a secretion of acid mucopolysaccharides
and other substances produced by a variety of epithelial and connective tissue cells. In certain inflammatory processes and certain
intestinal carcinomas, epithelial cells secrete excess mucin. Mucicarmine Staining Kit detects mucins of epithelial origin. Fibroblastic or
connective tissue mucins may stain poorly. The purpose of this stain is primarily to determine the site of a primary tumour or to distinguish
undifferentiated mucin-negative squamous cell lesions from mucin-positive adenocarcinomas. As is the case with current manual stains,
mucicarmine stain may not be appropriate for detection of metastatic cancers of the stomach. The stain may also be used as an aid in
the identification of Cryptococcus neoformans, a pathogenic fungus containing mucin in its capsule. Carmine and aluminium mordant
combine to stain the epithelial mucin a deep rose to red colour. Although the mechanism is not completely understood, it is believed that
the aluminium forms a chelate complex with carmine by dye‑like formation, to produce a net positive charge. The complex then attaches to
the acid groups of the mucin. Tartrazine Counterstain is applied to provide a contrasting yellow background. Mucin stains deep rose. Cell
nuclei stain black. Other tissue elements stain yellow by the counterstain. The capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans stains dark red.

Description
PAS Staining Kit is used to demonstrate the presence of glycogen in tissue. PAS-positive reticular fibres, basement membrane, fungus
and neutral mucopolysaccharides are also detected. PAS Staining Kit may also be used to aid in distinguishing a PAS-positive, secreting
adenocarcinoma from undifferentiated PAS-negative squamous cell carcinoma. PAS Staining Kit uses Periodic Acid to oxidise glycols to
aldehydes. Schiff’s Reagent forms a colourless dialdehyde compound that is transformed to the coloured final staining of glycol-containing
cellular components. PAS staining in tissue sections and digestion with diastase is useful as an aid in the diagnosis of glycogen storage
disease. The PAS Staining Kit stains glycogen bright magenta, with cell nuclei staining light purple.

Description
Diastase is an enzyme which selectively digests (breaks down) glycogen. It is used to remove glycogen from tissue. This produces
“negative PAS” staining of the glycogen. Any remaining PAS staining after diastase digestion must be due to non-glycogen protein-bound
neutral polysaccharides, such as mucin or fungus. Diastase for PAS is an accessory reagent that is used with the PAS Staining Kit to
a) identify glycogen with certainty, by its removal and/or b) eliminate it from the tissue section when it is interfering with the identification
of other PAS-positive tissue structures. Because the glycogen is removed, the magenta staining is absent, but the nuclei still stain light
purple with the Hematoxylin Counterstain.

Description
Elastic Staining Kit demonstrates elastic fibres in tissue sections. Elastic Staining Kit is a modification of Hart’s method for elastic fibres.
A resorcin-fuchsin solution is used to stain elastic fibres dark blue or purple to black. Collagen appears pink to red. Van Gieson’s Solution
is applied to provide contrasting yellow background tissue. This stain is useful in demonstrating atrophy of elastic tissue in cases of
emphysema and the thinning and loss of elastic fibres in arteriosclerosis and other vascular diseases. In normal aorta, a majority of the
tissue is elastic and stains dark blue to purple. In kidney, the renal arteries will stain dark blue to purple, while the cortex will stain pink to
red. In lung, the pulmonary artery and bronchial walls contain elastin and will stain dark blue to purple. Under high power, the alveoli also
demonstrate an intricate meshwork of elastic fibres. The Elastic Staining Kit stains elastic fibres in tissue dark blue‑purple against a yellow
background. Collagen in the tissue appears pink to red.

Jones Staining Kit demonstrates capillary basement membrane and is a modification of Jones Methanamine Silver procedure.
Methanamine in this stain is used to demonstrate the carbohydrate component of basement membrane. Periodic acid is used to oxidise
carbohydrates to aldehyde groups. Jones Silver A, a silver nitrate solution, provides the silver ions. Jones Silver B provides the alkaline
conditions that reduce the silver ions to metallic silver. Toner reagent contains gold chloride to form a more stable gold complex and to
remove the yellow tones from the tissue. Fixer, with thiosulfate, stops the reaction and removes any unreduced silver from the section.
The purpose of this stain is primarily to distinguish pathological abnormalities in kidney diseases. Hematoxylin and Eosin Counterstains
are applied to provide contrasting background. The Jones Staining Kit stains basement membrane black against a light pink background.
Basement membranes appear as black ink drawn lines and these fine lines should be seen in the glomeruli of the kidney.

Description
Reticulum II Staining Kit is used to demonstrate reticular fibres. The purpose of this stain is primarily to aid in the differential diagnosis of
certain tumour types. In certain tumours, reticulum is located in a characteristic position in relation to the actual tumour cells. Reticulum
stains can be used to show disease states in organs such as the liver, spleen and kidney by demonstrating reticular patterns not normal
to the organ. In normal liver, the fibres are well-defined strands, but in necrotic or cirrhotic liver, the fibres have discontinuous patterns.
Reticulum II Staining Kit is a modification of Gordon and Sweets Stain. Oxidizer, with potassium permanganate, oxidises the tissue
to enhance staining of reticular fibres. Decolorizer, with oxalic acid, removes excess potassium permanganate. Sensitizer, with ferric
ammonium sulphate, is added to form a metal-organic compound. The metal-organic compound is replaced by the silver in Reticulum II
Silver A. Reducer is applied to develop the deposited silver into visible silver. Toner reagent contains gold chloride for better contrast and
clarity. Fixer, with thiosulphate, stops the reaction and removes any unreacted silver from the section. Nuclear Fast Red counterstain is
applied to provide contrasting background. The Reticulum II Staining Kit stains reticular fibres black against a pink to red background.

Description
Helicobacter pylori is a gram negative bacterium that has been shown to be the causative organism in some gastric and duodenal ulcers. It
is the most common cause of antral gastritis and has been linked to the development of the distal gastric carcinoma and low grade gastric
lymphoma. Helicobacter pylori has been shown to survive in the acid environment of the stomach and is able to destroy the neutral mucin
that the surface epithelial cells secrete. Identification in a gastric biopsy and prompt treatment with antibiotics can lead to a fast recovery
for the patient. Alcian Yellow Staining Kit stains the Helicobacter pylori blue, the background blue and the mucin yellow.

Pneumocystis carinii. GMS Staining Kit is a modification of Gomori’s Methanamine Silver procedure. Tissue, fungal and microbial cell wall
polysaccharides are oxidised to aldehyde groups by GMS Oxidizer. Chromic acid suppresses weaker background staining of collagen fibres
and basement membranes. Neutralizer removes excess chromic acid. GMS Silver A, a silver nitrate reagent, provides the silver ions. GMS
Silver B provides the alkaline conditions that reduce the silver ions to metallic silver. Toner reagent contains gold chloride to form a more
stable gold complex and remove the yellow tones from the tissue. Fixer, with thiosulphate, stops the reaction and removes any unreduced
silver from the section. The purpose of this stain is primarily to distinguish pathogenic fungi, such as Aspergillus and Blastomyces as
well as other opportunistic organisms, such as Pneumocystis carinii in tissue sections. Light Green Counterstain is applied to provide
contrasting background. The GMS Staining Kit stains fungus black against a light green background. Aspergillus hyphae appear as black
filaments. Pneumocystis carinii organisms appear as clusters of helmet-shaped black spots.

Description
Congo Red Staining Kit is used to selectively demonstrate amyloid in tissue sections. The staining reaction is based on the application
of congo red which stains the patterns of atypical proteins (amyloid). The b-pleated sheets of amyloid are suitable in size and shape to
accommodate the congo red molecules, which are held in the lattice work of the b-pleated sheets. Birefringence is an intrinsic property
of the amyloid fibril congo red complex. Congo red may also stain unexpected structures such as: keratin, elastic and dense collagen
fibres. Without both the red staining of congo red and the apple green birefrengence under polarisation a definite identification cannot
be made. The hematoxylin is applied as a contrasting blue nuclear stain. The Congo Red Staining Kit stains amyloid a bright pink to red
and nuclei blue. Amyloid may appear as circular or ribbon-like pink staining deposits throughout the tissue. It has a particular predilection
for deposition in blood vessel walls and basement membranes. Nuclear staining may vary from light to dark blue depending on the tissue
section and thickness (6-10 microns).

VENTANA BenchMark XT
Automated Slide Processing System
The VENTANA BenchMark XT system offers the flexibility needed to
expand your test menu, process more slides and improve your turnaround
times. Our fully automated random-access platform can simultaneously run
IHC and ISH tests, allowing you to process all patient cases in a single run.
I need faster turnaround times and greater efficiency.
• Increase your slide throughput by 25% and eliminate up
to 80% of manual tasks (compared to manual and semiautomated staining processes)
I need to provide consistent high-quality stains so
physicians can make accurate diagnoses.
• Improve consistency and reproducibility for IHC, ISH
and FITC applications on a fully automated platform with
precisely controlled, baking-through-staining technology
I need to free technicians’ time for value-added work.
• Eliminate manual steps associated with baking,
deparaffinisations and antigen retrieval with walkaway automation
• Simplify IHC and ISH processing through barcodedriven technology, coupled with pre-diluted antibodies
and probes
I need to mitigate risk and reduce errors in my lab.
• Eliminate the potential for errors with barcode-driven
technology that match protocols and reagents to
patient slides
I need greater flexibility.
• Process your IHC, ISH and FITC steps independently or
simultaneously
• Optimise your protocols with flexible options including
variable incubation times and temperatures

Description
a-1-Antichymotrypsin Rabbit Polyclonal Primary Antibody reacts with histiocytes and histiocytic neoplasms. Its major application is
defining the presence of a-1-Antichymotrypsin in histiocytes and tumours derived from them. In eosinophilic granuloma and malignant
histiocytosis, the reaction for this marker is heterogeneous in intensity and distribution. In fibrous histiocytomas, on the other hand, a
diffuse homogeneous reaction may be observed.

a-1-Antitrypsin (AAT) Rabbit Polyclonal Primary Antibody is considered to be very useful in the study of inherited AAT deficiency, benign
and malignant hepatic tumours and yolk sac carcinomas. Positive staining for a-1-Antitrypsin may also be used in detection of benign and
malignant lesions of a histiocytic nature. Sensitivity and specificity of the results have made this antibody a useful tool in the screening of
patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis or other forms of liver disease with portal fibrosis of uncertain etiology.

Positive staining with AFP Rabbit Polyclonal Primary Antibody is seen in hepatocytes of foetal liver and hepatoma. Since only the traces of
AFP are found in adult serum, elevated levels suggest either a benign or malignant lesion of the liver, a yolk sac carcinoma or one of a few
other tumours. In conjunction with elevated serum levels, AFP has been immunohistochemically demonstrated in yolk sac carcinomas of
gonadal and extragonadal sites, in hepatic malignancies and a few other neoplasms. The antigen is not denatured by most fixatives.

Description
Actin, Muscle (HUC 1-1) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody may be used to aid in the identification of cells of normal and abnormal
myocytic lineage as an aid in diagnosis of anaplastic tumours. Actin, Muscle (HUC 1-1) antibody is directed against an epitope present on
muscle isoforms of actin, but not present on the cytoplasmic isoforms. Actin, at the ultrastructural level, consists of the diffusely distributed
cytoplasmic microfilaments that characterise muscle cells. Monoclonal antibodies specific to muscle actins have allowed accurate
localisation to cell types. The clone HUC 1-1 shows similar immunocytochemical and biochemical characteristics to those reported for
clone HHF35. In tissue sections, the HHF35 staining pattern and localisation (cardiac, skeletal as well as smooth muscle and myoepithelial
cells) roughly parallels desmin reactivity.

Description
Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton. This antibody recognises actin of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle cells. It is not
reactive with other mesenchymal cells except for myoepithelium. Actin can be resolved on the basis of its isoelectric points into three
distinctive components: alpha, beta and gamma in order of increasing isoelectric point. Muscle Specific Actin recognises alpha and
gamma isotypes of all muscle groups. Non-muscle cells such as vascular endothelial cells and connective tissues are non-reactive. Also
neoplastic cells of non-muscle-derived tissue such as carcinomas, melanomas and lymphomas are negative. This antibody is useful in the
identification of rhabdoid cellular elements.

Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton and is present in every cell type. Actin can be resolved on the basis of its isoelectric points
into three distinctive components: alpha, beta and gamma in order of increasing isoelectric point. Smooth Muscle Actin antibody does not
stain cardiac or skeletal muscle, but, it will stain myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells. This antibody could be used together with Muscle
Specific Actin to distinguish leiomyosarcoma from rhabdomyosarcoma. In most cases of rhabdomyosarcoma, this antibody gives negative
results, whereas Muscle Specific Actin is positive in the rhabdomyoblasts. Leiomyosarcomas are positive with both Muscle Specific Actin
and Smooth Muscle Actin antibodies.

Description
CONFIRM ALK1 (ALK01) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody recognises a formalin resistant epitope in both the p80 protein, identified
as a hybrid of the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein, and the nucleophosmin (NPM) and the 200 kD normal ALK proteins. ALK1
(ALK01) antibody may also recognise any ALK protein chimeric produced as a result of variant translocations involving the ALK gene on
chromosome 2. ALK1 (ALK01) antibody recognises varying degrees of ALK expression in both the cytoplasm and nucleus of anaplastic
lymphoma cells. ALK protein expression is substantially specific for anaplastic lymphomas, except for weak expression in some normal
cells in the central nervous system including neurons, glial cells and endothelial cells. ALK expression may also be seen in inflammatory
myofibroblastic tumours and rare rhabdomyosarcomas.

Spleen, hairy cell leukaemia
Description
Annexin (ANXA1) is strongly expressed on the cell membrane and occasionally in the cytoplasm of tumour cells in 97% of samples from
patients with hairy cell leukaemia. By contrast, B-cell lymphomas other than hairy cell leukaemia, including typical splenic lymphoma
with villous lymphocytes and patients with variant hairy cell leukaemia—as defined by current morphologic, phenotypic and clinical
criteria—are ANXA1-negative. In a study by Falini, et al. ANXA1 immunodetection was 100% sensitive and specific for hairy cell leukaemia.
Normal B cells from different lympho-hemopoietic tissues were ANXA1-negative. In this study the expression of ANXA1 in myeloid
cells, macrophages or T-cell subset served as positive control. These findings validated the results of gene expression profiling in hairy
cell leukaemia at the protein level by showing that ANXA1 is consistently expressed in this type of leukaemic disease, but not in other
B-cell lymphomas. Negativity for ANXA1 was also present in patients with splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes, variant hairy cell
leukaemia, prolymphocytic leukaemia, marginal zone and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphomas. Thus, ANXA1 is a molecule specific to hairy
cell leukaemia that can be used to differentiate this disease from other B-cell lymphomas. Wang, et al. showed that high ANXA1 expression
is frequent in oesophageal and oesophagogastric junction adenocarcinomas, is associated with more advanced pathologic T stage and the
presence of distant metastasis and is an independent prognostic factor for patient survival.

Beta-catenin is a 92 kD protein normally found in the cytoplasm of the cell in the submembranous location. This protein is associated with
E-Cadherin and may be essential for the function of E-Cadherin. Mutations in the Beta-catenin gene result in nuclear accumulation of this
protein. Nuclear accumulation of this protein has been demonstrated in fibromatosis lesions of the breast and abdomen and therefore is
useful in differentiating this lesion from other spindle cell lesions that may occur in these locations. Nuclear accumulation of Beta-catenin
has also been demonstrated in colorectal carcinoma.

Description
Blood group antigens have been examined as potential discriminators between pulmonary adenocarcinoma (PACA) and epithelioid
mesotheloma (EM). Lewisy is the only one of these that appears to have some merit. BG8 is raised from the SK-LU-3 lung cancer line and
its ability to distinguish between PACA and EM was first reported by Jordon and colleagues in 1989. Three groups have since reported
their results. These studies included 231 cases of PACA and 197 cases of EM. Sensitivity and specificity for PACA were both 93%. Yaziji H,
et al. reported a sensitivity of non-mesothelial antigens for adenocarcinoma as organ dependent, with BG8 performing at 98% in the breast
cancer group and 100% in the lung cancer group. The specificity of the non-mesothelial (non-EM) antigens for adenocarcinoma was 98%
for BG8. They concluded using logical regression analysis that a three-antibody immunohistochemical panel including calretinin, BG8 and
MOC-31 would provide 96% sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing EM from adenocarcinoma from a variety of sources (lung, ovary,
breast, stomach).

Description:
PATHWAY c-KIT (9.7) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody is intended for the qualitative detection of KIT protein in gastro-intestinal
stromal tumours (GISTs). It is indicated as an aid in the selection of GIST within the context of the patient’s clinical history, tumour
morphology and other diagnostic tests evaluated by a qualified pathologist. It may be used after the diagnosis of GIST as an aid in the
selection of GIST patients who may qualify for imatinib mesylate (Gleevec/Glivec) therapy. PATHWAY c-KIT (9.7) antibody is optimised for
use on the VENTANA BenchMark series automated slide stainers and for manual application in combination with iVIEW DAB Detection
Kit and accessories. The clinical interpretation of any staining or the absence of staining, must be complemented by morphological studies
and evaluation of proper controls. Evaluation must be made by a qualified pathologist within the context of the patient’s clinical history and
other diagnostic tests.
The Role of KIT Gene Mutations in the Development of GISTs:
In their landmark 1998 publication, Dr. Hirota and his colleagues established not only that GISTs express KIT, but that KIT gene mutations are
present in these tumours. Furthermore, they showed that the resulting mutant KIT isoforms demonstrate kinase activity in the absence of stem
cell factor, the natural ligand for KIT. These observations have been confirmed by a growing number of groups and it is now established that
KIT mutations are present in >85% of GISTs. The majority of mutations occurs in exon 11 (65-70% of GISTs) and includes a wide range of
deletions, insertions, point mutations or combinations thereof. An insertion/reduplication of six base pairs in exon 9 is found in ~15% of GISTs,
almost exclusively in those arising in the small intestine. Mutations also occur in exons 13 and 17, but are much rarer. Regardless of the exon
involved, KIT gene mutations in GISTs are invariably in-frame and, when cloned and expressed in vitro, have constitutive kinase activation.
Moreover, phosphorylation of KIT is consistently detectable in GIST tumour extracts, supporting a direct role for KIT in intracellular signaling.
Clinical Significance:
GISTs arise predominantly in the stomach (60%) and small intestine (25%), but also occur in the rectum (5%), oesophagus (5%) and a
variety of other locations (5%), including appendix, gall bladder, mesentery and omentum. Affected patients range in age from the teens
to the 90’s, but the majority are older and the peak is around age 60. A slight male predilection has been observed in most studies. There
are no solid figures on the true incidence of GISTs, but it is estimated that ~4,500 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States.
In 1998, Drs. Seichi Hirota (Osaka University) and Lars-Gunnar Kindblom (University of Gothenburg) each independently observed that
GISTs express the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT (CD117). Their observations provided a clue to the possible cell of origin for GISTs, namely
the interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC). These inconspicuous, dendritic-like cells are widely distributed throughout the muscularis propria of the
oesophagus, stomach, small and large bowel. They play an important role in gut motility by regulating slow-wave contractions. Like GISTs,
ICC express KIT and the majority are also positive for CD34. The hypothesis that GISTs are pathogenetically related to ICC in the gut wall,
as proposed by both Dr. Hirota and Dr. Kindblom, is now widely accepted. Subsequent studies from a large number of different laboratories
have confirmed that KIT is the single most specific marker of GISTs. Immunodetectable KIT is present on the cell surface and/or cytoplasm
of GIST tumour cells in approximately 90% of cases.
Highly Sensitive and Specific:
The scientifically advanced rabbit monoclonal antibody technology of PATHWAY c-KIT clone 9.7 is the source of optimised assay sensitivity
and specificity. Directed against the c-terminal domain of the c-KIT protein, PATHWAY c-KIT recognises both wild-type and mutant forms
of the c-KIT protein. PATHWAY c-KIT (9.7) specifically binds to antigen located in the cell membrane and cytoplasmic regions of mast
cells, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and GIST cells. The advanced performance of the PATHWAY c-KIT rabbit monoclonal antibody and
standardised slide preparation assist the pathologist with the clear differentiation of positives and negatives in this qualitative assay. The
following are examples of staining for c-KIT in GIST and physiologic tissues (intestine) using PATHWAY c-KIT.

Description
C4d is a stable split product remnant of classical complement activation which becomes covalently bound to endothelium and basement
membrane after induction of the classical antibody-induced pathway. As an established marker of antibody-mediated acute renal allograft
rejection and its proclivity for endothelium, this component can be detected in peritubular capillaries in both chronic renal allograft
rejection as well as hyperacute rejection, acute vascular rejection, acute cellular rejection and borderline rejection. It has been shown to be
a significant predictor of transplant kidney graft survival and is therefore an aid in treating acute rejection.

Description
CD2 is one of the earliest T cell lineage restricted antigens to appear during T cell differentiation and only a rare CD2+ cell can be found
in the bone marrow. It is found in all T-lymphocytes and natural killer cells but not in B cells or any other cell population. CD2 can be
considered a pan-T cell antigen and is therefore useful for the identification of virtually all normal T-lymphocytes. It is also very useful in the
assessment of lymphoid malignancies as it is expressed in the majority of precursor and post-thymic lymphomas and leukaemias, and is
not expressed by B neoplasms (Foon & Todd, 1986). As with other pan-T cell antigens, CD2 may be aberrantly deleted in some neoplastic T
cell population, especially peripheral T cell lymphomas. Rarely slg+ B cell neoplasms have been described to form spontaneous E-rosettes
but these reactions are not mediated via the CD2 receptor (Knowles, 1989).

CD14 is a surface protein preferentially expressed on monocytes/macrophages. It binds lipopolysaccharide binding protein and recently
has been shown to bind apoptotic cells. CD14 antibody labels Kupffer cells in liver sinusoids. In lymphoid tissues, dendritic cells are
distinctly stained. Most other normal tissues are negative. This antibody labels monocyte-macrophages and Langerhans cells in
Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Tumour cells are positive for CD14 in monocytic leukaemia and true histiocytic lymphomas. Sinusoidal
histiocytes express CD14 and CD169, whereas most of the other monocyte-derived cells in reactive lymph node lack these markers. CD14
antibody labels numerous diffuse large B-cell lymphomas and splenic marginal zone lymphoma, but not other B-cell lymphomas.

Description
According to the World Health Organisation classification system, the major diagnostic criterion for bone marrow involvement by
systemic mastocytosis (SM) is the presence of dense aggregates (>15 cells) of mast cells. Expression of CD25, a low-affinity receptor
for interleukin-2 (IL-2), is a reliable diagnostic tool for distinguishing neoplastic mast cell aggregates from reactive proliferations and has
therefore recently become a minor criterion for the diagnosis of SM. Hahn, et al. demonstrated that aberrant staining of mast cell clusters
by CD25 antibody in GI (gastro-intestinal) biopsies was essentially diagnostic of SM. CD25 antibody has also been useful in identifying
mast cells in skin biopsies in the setting of urticaria pigmentosa, which is predictive of SM. Quantitation of regulatory T cells (Treg) in the
setting of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been used as an independent predictive factor of tumour recurrence after hepatic resection
for HCC. Also, the percentage of tumour infiltrating CD25 + FOXP3 + regulatory T cells among tumour cells, inside tumour parenchyma
and at its periphery, is significantly higher in recurrent cutaneous melanoma than in non-recurrent melanoma.

Description
Leucocyte Common Antigen (LCA) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody is routinely used to aid in the differential diagnosis of
undifferentiated neoplasms, whenever malignant lymphoma is suspected by the morphological or clinical data. It is a highly specific
antibody therefore a positive result is highly indicative of lymphoid or myeloid origin. Certain types of lymphoid neoplasms may lack
CD45 (Hodgkin’s disease, some T-cell lymphomas and some leukaemias) so its absence does not rule out a hematolymphoid tumour. This
antibody is expressed almost exclusively by cells of hematopoietic lineage and is present in most benign and malignant lymphocytes,
erythrocytes and plasma cell precursors.

This antibody reacts with a 53 kDa protein which forms a part of the family of tetraspan moieties. The antigen was originally designated
as a lysosomal membrane protein characterised as an activation dependent platelet surface antigen. In fact the CD63 antigen has a
diverse distribution on the surface and in the cytoplasm of many cell types including lymphoid, myeloid, endothelial cells and melanoma.
It has been quite useful in identifying malignant melanoma. Mete, et al. found it useful in differentiating renal oncocytomas (RO) from
eosinophilic renal cell carcinomas (eRCC). In his series of 35 ROs, 94% demonstrated apical and/or polar CD63 positivity. Of his 77 eRCCs,
96% showed diffuse cytoplasmic staining.

Description
CD163 (MRQ-26) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody was recently identified as an acute phase-regulated transmembrane protein whose
function is to mediate the endocytosis of haptoglobinhemoglobin complexes. This receptor is expressed on the surface of monocytes (low
expression) and tissue macrophages, [also known as histiocytes] (high expression). It is a member of the cysteine-rich scavenger receptor
superfamily, encoded by a gene localised on human chromosome 12p13.3. Soluble in plasma, CD163 functions as an anti-inflammatory
signal and has many roles in disease processes that range from auto-immune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis to atherosclerosis.
Previous work has shown that the CD163 gene can be regulated by glucocorticoids, IL-10 and other inflammatory modulators, and is
highly expressed in inflamed tissues, consistent with its role in the resolution of inflammation. Staining for CD163 has been helpful in
distinguishing synovial macrophages from synovial intimal fibroblasts in the setting of rheumatoid arthritis, where its specificity for
macrophages was found to be superior to that of CD68, which does not discriminate between these cell types. Increased levels of CD163
were also detected in patients with microbial infections and myelomonocytic leukaemias by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Flow
cytometry studies have confirmed that CD163 expression is limited to leukaemias with monocytic differentiation. Another recent study
showed that all 5 cases of synovial-type giant cell tumours of the vertebral column stained for CD163.

CDX-2 is a caudal-related homeobox transcription factor whose expression in the adult is normally restricted to the intestinal epithelium.
It is implicated in the development and maintenance of the intestinal mucosa. This protein is expressed immunohistochemically in the
nuclei of normal intestinal epithelium. Loss of CDX-2 protein expression has been correlated with loss of differentiation in colorectal
cancers. CDX-2 (EPR2764Y) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody has been useful in distinguishing gastro-intestinal origin of metastatic
adenocarcinomas and carcinoids. A high percentage of mucinous carcinomas of the ovary also stain positively with this antibody as well as
carcinomas from the upper gastro-intestinal tract.

cytokeratins; it reacts with the 56.5 kD, 50 kD, 50’ kD, 48 kD and 40 kD cytokeratins of the acidic subfamily. Because specific combinations
of cytokeratin peptides are associated with different epithelial cells, these peptides are clinically important markers for classifying
carcinomas (tumours of epithelial origin) and for distinguishing carcinomas from malignant tumours of non-epithelial origin such as
lymphomas, melanomas and sarcomas.

Cytokeratin 8 & 18 (B22.1 & B23.1) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody is a cocktail of two mouse monoclonal antibodies. Cytokeratins
8 & 18 can be found in most simple epithelium, e.g. thyroid, female breast, gastro-intestinal tract and respiratory tract. Adenocarcinomas
and most non-keratinising squamous carcinomas will stain, but keratinising squamous carcinomas will not. This cocktail is used when
attempting to demonstrate the presence of Paget cells; there is very little keratin 18 in the normal epidermis so this will only stain Paget
cells. This approach facilitates the interpretation using immunostains and is more sensitive than mucin histochemistry.

of myogenic cell lines in mixed sarcomas. Among neoplasms, carcinomas do not react with desmin antibodies, leiomyosarcomas and
rhabdomyosarcomas are positive and other sarcomas (with some exceptions) are negative. Myogenic sarcomas can be classified as such
due to their positive staining with antibodies to muscle (specific) actin and desmin. Because of the different sensitivities and specificities of
these antibodies, they are best used in combination.

capable of forming heterodimers to elicit signal transduction. EGFR is expressed at low levels in most normal epithelial tissues, but can
be overexpressed in cancers of the breast, brain, bladder, lung, gastric, head and neck, oesophagus, cervix, ovary, endometrium and
particularly in squamous cell carcinomas.

CONFIRM EGFR (5B7) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody is produced against a synthetic peptide from the carboxy terminal
(cytoplasmic) region of EGFR. The epitope recognised by EGFR (5B7) is associated with an internal domain of EGFR and therefore EGFR
staining with antibodies that recognise extracellular domains may not always correlate with EGFR (5B7) staining. EGFR is a member of the
receptor tyrosine kinase HER family. Also known as HER 1, EGFR is structurally related to HER 2, HER 3 and HER 4. Members of this protein
family are capable of forming heterodimers to mediate signal transduction. EGFR is expressed at low levels in most normal epithelial
tissues, but can be overexpressed in cancers of the breast, brain, bladder, lung, gastric, head and neck, oesophagus, cervix, ovary,

focal positivity may be seen in the basal layer of squamous cell epithelium of endoderm (e.g. palatine tonsils) and mesoderm (e.g. uterine
cervix). In liver lesions like hepatitis and cirrhosis, the hepatocytes frequently become Ep-CAM positive. Normal mesothelial cells are EpCAM negative, but may express focal reaction when undergoing reactive changes. Mesenchymal cells and cells from the neural crest are
negative, with the exception of olfactory neurons.
Ep-CAM is found in the large majority of adenocarcinomas of most sites (50-100% in various studies) as well as neuroendocrine tumours,
including small cell carcinoma. Renal cell carcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma stain in about 30% of the cases. Squamous cell
carcinoma of endoderm and mesoderm is usually Ber-EP4 positive, while that of ectoderm is negative. Basal cell and basosquamous
carcinoma are Ber-EP4 positive in almost all cases. Choroid plexus papilloma and carcinoma are usually negative. Malignant mesothelioma
(epithelioid and biphasic) is Ep-CAM positive in 4-26% of the cases. The staining is usually focal, but may occasionally be widespread.
Synovial sarcoma (epitheloid and biphasic) and desmoplastic small round cell tumour stain for Ep-CAM in most cases.
Seminoma, embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumour and choriocarcinoma reveal Ber-EP4 positivity in a minor proportion of cases. Among
neural tumours, Ep-CAM positivity is seen only in olfactory neuroblastoma. Ep-CAM can be of great help in the differential diagnosis of
malignant involvement in the peritoneal and pleural cavities. The lack of reactivity in the majority of malignant mesothelioma can in an
appropriate panel be utilised in the discrimination between this tumour and adenocarcinoma.

Description
Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a glycosylphosphatidyl inositol-anchored membrane protein, which may also be found in a secreted form. Recently,
GPC3 was identified as a useful tumour marker for the diagnosis of HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma), hepatoblastoma, melanoma, testicular
germ cell tumours and Wilms tumour. In patients with HCC, GPC3 was overexpressed in neoplastic liver tissue and elevated in serum,
but was undetectable in normal liver, benign liver and the serum of healthy donors. GPC3 expression was also found to be higher in HCC
liver tissue than in cirrhotic liver or liver with focal lesions such as dysplastic nodules and areas of hepatic adenoma (HA) with malignant
transformation. In the context of testicular germ cell tumours, GPC3 expression is up-regulated in certain histologic subtypes, specifically
yolk sac tumours and choriocarcinoma. A high level of GPC3 expression has also been found in some types of embryonal tumours, such as
Wilms’ tumour and hepatoblastoma, with a low or undetectable expression in normal adjacent tissue.

Description
This antibody is intended for in vitro diagnostic use. PATHWAY anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) Rabbit Monoclonal Primary Antibody (PATHWAY HER-2 (4B5))
is a rabbit monoclonal antibody intended for laboratory use for the semi-quantitative detection of HER-2 antigen in sections of formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded normal and neoplastic tissue on a VENTANA automated immunohistochemistry slide staining device. It is indicated as an aid
in the assessment of breast cancer patients for whom Herceptin treatment is considered. Note: All of the patients in the Herceptin clinical trials
were selected using a clinical trial assay. None of the patients in those trials were selected using PATHWAY anti-HER-2/neu (4B5). PATHWAY antiHER-2/neu (4B5) was compared to PATHWAY HER-2 (clone CB11) Primary Antibody on an independent sample set and found to provide acceptably
concordant results. The actual correlation of PATHWAY anti-HER-2/neu (4B5) to clinical outcome has not been established.
PATHWAY anti-HER-2/neu is a rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone 4B5) directed against the internal domain of the c erbB 2 oncoprotein (HER2). c erbB 2 oncoprotein was cloned and characterised by Akiyama et al in 1986.1 It is an approximately 185 kD transmembrane glycoprotein
which is structurally similar to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The protein is associated with tyrosine kinase activity similar to that of
several growth factor receptors and to that of the transforming proteins of the src family. The coding sequence is consistent with an extracellular
binding domain and an intracellular kinase domain. This suggests that HER-2 may be involved in signal transduction and stimulation of mitogenic
activity.1 Clone 4B5 has been shown to react with a 185 kD protein from SK BR 3 cell lysates via Western blotting. SK BR 3 is a breast carcinoma
cell line which has a 128 fold overexpression of HER-2 mRNA.2 The size of the band identified correlates well with that reported by Akiyama et al
for HER-2 protein (185 kD).1 Immunohistochemistry has been used to detect specific antigens in cells or tissue since 1950.3 The use of enzymes
and peroxidase as markers for immunohistochemistry was reported by Nakane and Pierce in 1967.4 The increased sensitivity of the avidin biotin
peroxidase detection system over the enzyme labelled antibody method was documented by Hsu et al in 1981.5 The HER-2 protein is expressed
at a level detectable by immunohistochemistry in up to 20 percent of adenocarcinomas from various sites. Between 15 and 30 percent of invasive
ductal cancers are positive for HER-2.6 Almost all cases of Paget’s disease of breast7 and up to 90 percent of cases of ductal carcinoma in situ of
comedo type are positive.6 The immunohistochemical detection of HER-2 protein overexpression is also used as an aid in determination of patients
for whom Herceptin therapy is indicated.8 Staining results in normal tissues, neoplastic tissues and 322 cases of breast carcinoma with PATHWAY
HER-2 (4B5) were evaluated by Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. In the normal tissues tested, expression was consistent with the published litreature
in that there was no unexpected specific cytoplasmic/membrane staining, with the following exceptions: two cases of tonsil showing with epithelial
cell membrane staining, one case of parathyroid and one case of oesophageal epithelium. Of the neoplastic tissues tested, cytoplasmic/membrane
staining was seen in cancer cells of the breast, colon and ovary. Three hundred twenty-two (322) breast carcinomas were evaluated with
PATHWAY HER-2 (4B5) in a method comparison study with PATHWAY HER-2 (CB11). There is a significant correlation of staining between these
two tests. See Summary of Expected Results section for further information. PATHWAY HER-2 (4B5) in combination with iVIEW DAB Detection Kit,
utilises biotinylated secondary antibodies to locate the bound PATHWAY HER-2 (4B5) primary antibody (produced by using a synthetic peptide
corresponding to a site on the internal domain of the HER-2 protein). This is followed by the binding of an avidin/streptavidin enzyme conjugate to
the biotin. The complex is then visualised using a precipitating enzyme generated product. The use of pre-diluted PATHWAY HER-2 (4B5) and ready
to use iVIEW DAB detection kits, in combination with a VENTANA automated slide stainer, reduces the possibility of human error and inherent
variability resulting from individual reagent dilution, manual pipetting and manual reagent application.

Clinical Significance
Breast cancer is the most common carcinoma occurring in women and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. In North America,
a woman’s chance of contracting breast cancer is one in eight.9 Early detection and appropriate treatment therapies can significantly affect
overall survival.10 Small tissue samples may be easily used in routine immunohistochemistry (IHC), making this technique, in combination with
antibodies that detect antigens important for carcinoma interpretation, an effective tool for the pathologist in his/her diagnosis and prognosis
of disease. One important marker in breast cancer today is cerbB 2 oncoprotein (HER-2). HER-2 is an intracellular membrane protein detected
in the cellular membrane.11 It is closely related to EGFR and, like EGFR, has tyrosine kinase activity.1 Gene amplification and the corresponding
overexpression of cerbB 2 has been found in a variety of tumours, including breast carcinomas.11,12 The therapeutic drug Herceptin has
been shown to benefit some breast carcinoma patients by arresting and in some cases reversing the growth of their cancer.8 The drug is a
humanised monoclonal antibody that binds to HER-2 protein on cancer cells. Thus only patients with HER-2/neu positive breast carcinomas
should benefit from treatment with Herceptin. In vitro diagnostics for the determination of HER-2 status in breast carcinomas are important
to aid the clinician in determination of therapy with Herceptin. Interpretation of the results of any detection system for HER-2 must take into
consideration the fact that HER-2 is expressed in both breast cancer tumours and healthy tissue, albeit at differing levels and with different
patterns of expression.13 Histological tissue preparations have the advantage of intact tissue morphology to aid in the interpretation of the HER2 positivity of the sample. All histological tests should be interpreted by a specialist in breast cancer morphology and/or pathology and the
results should be complemented by morphological studies and proper controls and used in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory data.

CONFIRM Kappa Rabbit Polyclonal Primary Antibody specifically binds to antigens located in the cell membrane and cytoplasmic
regions of normal B cells and plasma cells. Kappa light chains are polypeptide chains which in combination with heavy chains form
immunoglobulin molecules. There are two classes of light chains found in immunoglobulins, kappa light chains and lambda light chains.
Light chain production by lymphoid cells is genetically restricted such that the immunoglobulin molecules produced by an individual cell
will only contain a single light chain class. This clonal restriction may be used to indicate the polyclonal or monoclonal nature of B cell and
plasma cell populations. Because clonality is a clinically important attribute to aid in the subclassification of lymphomas, the identification
of light chain class has gained increasing importance in immunopathology.

Kidney
Description
Kidney-specific cadherin (KSP-Cadherin) is a novel, kidney-specific member of the cadherin family of cell adhesion molecules. Within
the kidney, KSP-Cadherin is found exclusively in the basolateral membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells and collecting duct cells, and
not in glomeruli, renal interstitial cells or blood vessels. Different cadherins, including E-cadherin, cadherin-6 and N-cadherin, have
been investigated in renal cell cancers, demonstrating possible correlations of tumour dedifferentiation and the presence of lymph node
metastasis with loss of cadherins. Mazal, et al. investigated the utility of using KSP-Cadherin to distinguish chromophobe renal cell
carcinoma from oncocytoma. He found a membranous pattern of staining in 96% of 30 chromophobe carcinomas and in only 6% of 31
oncocytomas leading them to conclude that this is a useful antibody in differentiating these two lesions. Shen, et al., on the other hand,
found KSP-Cadherin positivity in 100% of 13 chromophobe RCCs and 95% of 20 oncocytomas.

Description
CONFIRM Lambda Rabbit Polyclonal Primary Antibody specifically binds to antigens located in the cell membrane and cytoplasmic
regions of normal B cells and plasma cells. Lambda light chains are polypeptide chains which in combination with heavy chains form
immunoglobulin molecules. There are two classes of light chains found in immunoglobulins, kappa light chains and lambda light chains.
Light chain production by lymphoid cells is genetically restricted such that the immunoglobulin molecules produced by an individual cell
will only contain a single light chain class. This clonal restriction may be used to indicate the polyclonal or monoclonal nature of B cell and
plasma cell populations. Because clonality is a clinically important attribute to aid in the subclassification of lymphomas, the identification
of light chain class has gained increasing importance in immunopathology.

LMO2 is essential for the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and is expressed in erythroid and myeloid precursors playing a crucial
role in hematopoietic development. Preliminary studies demonstrate LMO2 expression in GC-derived B-cell lymphomas such as follicular,
Burkitt, lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s and diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) neoplasms. LMO2 staining was absent in mature B-cell and
T-cell lymphomas and in classical Hodgkin’s lymphomas.

Melanoma
Description
Melanoma is a malignant tumour deriving from melanocytes. Melanocytes are derivative cells originating from the neuroectodermal crest,
which migrate during the early foetal period into the skin, where they settle within the epidermis and become part of the complex skin
structure. One of the most prominent functional features of melanocytes is to produce the melanin pigment as a response to UV radiation
in order to protect the skin structures from sun damage. Approximately 47,700 cases per year are diagnosed in the United States alone
and the incidence is increasing at the rate of 4.3% per year. In about 2% of occurrences, the disease is present even though no skin
discolouration occurs. The American Cancer Society estimates that there are currently 480,000 cases of melanoma in America today and
that there are 7,700 deaths per year. It has been reported that in the US, Europe and Australia there are 90,000 new cases diagnosed per
year and 15,000 deaths annually. To aid in the diagnosis of these potentially lethal lesions, monoclonal antibodies have been raised against
an antigenic determinate localised to a glycoprotein that is restricted to cells of melanocytic lineage. The molecule is located in the inner
membranes of type 1, 2 and 3 pre-melanosomes and serves as a potential target of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, probably in concert with
MHC2A. MART-1/melan A, was named specifically for that property (melanoma antigen recognised by T cells-1) and is recognised by
T cells.
In practice, HMB-45 and MART-1/melan A have enjoyed the greatest use as agents to confirm the identity of polyclonal S100 positive
neoplasms as melanocytic in nature. MART-1/melan A and HMB-45 behave differently depending on the tissue fixation. MART-1/melan A
is suitable for formalin-fixed tissues and archival material which requires heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER). Both HMB-45 and MART1/melan A show increased sensitivity with HIER, though HMB-45’s immunoreactivity is stronger in ethanol-fixed tissues than formalinfixed. Prolonged fixation in formalin significantly diminishes HMB-45’s immunoreactivity. HMB-45 is also vulnerable to a high degree of
non-specific staining when used with Mercury-based fixatives.
The two monoclonal antibodies also differ in their detection rates of melanoma. MART-1/melan A has demonstrated positive rates of 8190% versus HMB-45 at 75-80% on primary and metastatic malignant melanoma. Unlike HMB-45, MART-1/melan A is purported to yield
a homogeneous cytoplasmic staining pattern in both melanomas and melanocytic nevi, with a stronger intensity and greater percentage
of tumour cell immunopositivity. HMB-45 stains mainly the intraepidermal and superficial dermal component of compound nevi. MART-1/
melan A is useful for the detection of primary and metastatic melanomas, especially with an epithelioid morphology, yet it has a limited role
in the differential diagnosis of desmoplastic melanomas.
In a study published by AA Jungbluth, et al., additional information as to the detection rates of melanoma is as follows: of the 75 metastatic
melanomas tested 81% were A-103 positive and 75% were HMB-45 positive. Of the positive cases, A-103 showed homogeneous staining in
a significantly higher number of cases than HMB-45 (72% vs. 52%, respectively). Focal staining with less than 5% reactive tumour cells was
seen more frequently in HMB-45 (12 of 56) than in A-103 (5 of 61).

a similar sensitivity to melanocytic proliferations as that seen with S-100 protein staining, which is somewhat higher than that seen with
HMB-45. This has been confirmed by one study on a series of 215 sentinel lymph nodes. Moreover, KBA.62 antibody identified 6 patients
(3%) who had confirmed sentinel lymph node metastasis but stained negative for HMB-45. In this setting, the resolution appears to be
higher than S-100 protein in that the staining pattern (membranous) is quite distinct.

labels intraepidermal nevi while the dermal component of compound nevi are largely non-reactive with PNL2 antibody. Antibodies against
PNL2, melan-A and HMB-45 stain most clear cell sarcoma cells and a few cells in angiomyolipomas and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Nonmelanocytic lesions found to be positive with this marker include PEComas and melanotic schwannoma. PNL2 antibody is a useful antibody
for the identification of melanomas and clear cell sarcomas.

Description
Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins which constitute the major component of the mucus layer that protects the gastric epithelium
from chemical and mechanical aggressions. In humans, at least 14 mucin genes have been identified that code for the mucin proteins. They
are designated as MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6 , MUC7, MUC8, MUC9, MUC11, MUC12, MUC13 and MUC16.
Mucins share a common feature of a tandem-repeat domain rich in serine and threonine residues. These amino acid residues are potential
O-glycosylation sites for attachment of the O-glycan chains that constitute up to 80% of the molecular weight of the final mucin glycoprotein.
The heterogeneous pattern of mucin expression, including the expression of the intestinal mucin MUC2, may provide new insights into the
differentiation pathways of gastric carcinoma. The pattern of mucin expression may also be used as a clue to bring new insights into the biological
behaviour of distinct clinicopathological entities related to the localisation of gastric carcinoma, namely proximal and distal gastric carcinomas.
Pinto-de-Sousa et al. have shown in a comprehensive study of gastric carcinomas evaluated for expression of several mucins (MUC1, MUC2,
MUC5AC and MUC6) that: (1) mucin expression is associated with tumour type (MUC5AC with diffuse and infiltrative carcinomas and MUC2 with
mucinous carcinomas) but not with the clinico-biological behaviour of the tumours; and (2) mucin expression is associated with tumour location
(MUC5AC with antrum carcinomas and MUC2 with cardia carcinomas), indirectly reflecting differences in tumour differentiation according
to tumour location. The following generalities apply to the patterns of Mucin expression. MUC1 expression: apical surfaces of most epithelial
cells in breast, gastro-intestinal (GI), respiratory and genitourinary (GU) tracts. MUC2 expression: specifically expressed in goblet cells of the
small intestine & colon. Colonic carcinomas – 65%, Gastric carcinomas – 42%, Oesophageal carcinomas – 17%. Rare outside of GI tract – with
exception of mucinous carcinoma of breast and clear cell-type carcinomas of the ovary.

Description
Mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins which constitute the major component of the mucus layer that protects the gastric
epithelium from chemical and mechanical aggressions. In humans, at least 14 mucin genes have been identified that code for the mucin
proteins. They are designated as MUC1, MUC2, MUC3, MUC4, MUC5AC, MUC5B, MUC6 , MUC7, MUC8, MUC9, MUC11, MUC12, MUC13
and MUC16. Mucin genes are expressed in a regulated cell- and tissue-specific manner. The stomach provides a good example of such
differential expression of mucin genes. MUC1 is detected in mucous cells of the surface epithelium and neck region of the gastric antrum,
as well as in pyloric glands and oxynthic glands of the body region. MUC5AC is highly expressed in foveolar epithelium of both body
and antrum, whereas MUC6 protein expression is limited to mucous neck cells of the body and pyloric glands of the antrum. The mucin
expression pattern of gastric carcinoma is heterogeneous. It includes mucins normally expressed in gastric mucosa (MUC1, MUC5AC and
MUC6) and de novo expression of the intestinal mucin MUC2. The heterogeneous pattern of mucin expression, including the expression
of the intestinal mucin MUC2, may provide new insights into the differentiation pathways of gastric carcinoma. Pinto-de-Sousa, et al. have
shown in a comprehensive study of gastric carcinomas evaluated for expression of several mucins (MUC1, MUC2, MUC5AC and MUC6)

IRF4 is expressed in the nuclei and cytoplasm of plasma cells and a small percentage of germinal centre (GC) B cells located in the “light
zone.” This antibody stains MUM1 protein, which is expressed in a subset of B cells in the light zone of the germinal centre, plasma cells,
activated T cells and a wide spectrum of related hematolymphoid neoplasms derived from these cells. Therefore, this antibody is useful
for the subclassification of lymphoid malignancies and an excellent marker for Hodgkin’s and Reed-Sternberg cells of classic Hodgkin’s
disease in combination with CD30 antibody.

Adenocarcinoma of lung
Description
Napsin is a pepsin-like aspartic proteinase in the A1 clan of the AA clade of proteinases. There are two closely related napsins, napsin A
and napsin B. Napsin A is expressed as a single chain protein with the molecular weight of approximately 38 kD. Immunohistochemical
studies revealed high expression levels of napsin A in human lung and kidney but low expression in spleen. Napsin A is expressed in
type II pneumocytes and in adenocarcinomas of lung. The high specificity expression of napsin A in adenocarcinomas of lung is useful to
distinguish primary lung adenocarcinomas from adenocarcinomas of other organs.

Description
NGFR, a 75 kd glycoprotein (also known as P-75NTR), is the first of neurotrophin receptors to be isolated and is a member of the tumour
necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family. It is expressed not only in sympathetic and sensory neurons, but also in various neural crest cell or
tumour derivatives such as melanocytes, melanomas, neuroblastomas, pheochromocytomas, neurofibromas and neurotised nevi (type C
melanocytes). NGFR has been shown to be a reliable marker for desmoplastic and neurotropic melanoma by several groups. Although the
sensitivity of NGFR staining in desmoplastic melanomas has not been systematically analysed, all reported cases stain with NGFR. A review
of 9 cases of desmoplastic melanomas diagnosed in the Dermatopathology Section of the Department of Dermatology at Boston University
School of Medicine between 2001 and 2004 disclosed that all 9 cases of desmoplastic melanomas tested stained positively with NGFR.
These findings are in contrast to a study reported by Huttenbach, et al in which only 33% of their desmoplastic melanomas stained with
NGFR. This difference emphasises the importance of the choice of monoclonal antibody to obtain consistent results. This staining property
of desmoplastic melanoma cells can be useful in diagnosing challenging cases, namely early lesions, suspected cases with negative or
weak S-100 staining and those that must be distinguished from a scar.
It is now apparent that expression of NGFR is ubiquitous and not limited to the nervous system, being expressed in mature non-neural cells
such as perivascular cells, dental pulp cells, lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, basal epithelium of oral mucosa and hair follicles, prostate
basal cells and myoepithelial cells. Unlike the high-affinity nerve growth factor tyrosine kinase receptors (TrkA, TrkB and TrkC), NGFR
has no intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Studies in prostate and urothelial cancer suggest that NGFR may act as a tumour suppressor,
negatively regulating cell growth and proliferation. NGFR antibody labels the myoepithelial cells of breast ducts and intralobular fibroblasts
of breast ducts and thus aids in the diagnosis of malignancy in the breast.

Description
Oct-2 is a transcription factor of the POU homeo-domain family that binds to the Ig gene octamer sites, regulating B-cell-specific genes.
These are involved in proliferation and differentiation and despite the scarce evidence for Oct-2 expression in T cells, it has been shown
that this factor participates in transcriptional regulation during T-cell activation. Oct-2 activity is dependent on phosphorylation and
alternative splicing, although it seems that the level of its expression can be used as a marker of B-cell lineage and differentiation. The
following show high levels of Oct-2 expression: germinal centre B-cells, mantle B-cells, monocytoid B-cells and plasma cells. Various
lymphomas are also positive for this marker including the following: B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, mantle cell lymphoma, follicular
lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, plasmacytoma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, diffuse large cell lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, T-cell
rich B-cell lymphoma, nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma, classic Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
Several studies of Oct-2 expression have shown a low level expression in pre-B, T-cell, myelomonocytic and epithelial cell lines, whereas
all mature B-cell lines display high levels of expression. Analysis of Oct-2 expression in primary Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HLs) and cell lines
derived from it showed that the tumour cells analysed had high levels of expression and activity, suggesting a common B cell origin for all
types of HLs.

Description
OCT-4 is a transcription factor that maintains and regulates pluripotency in embryonic stem and germ cells. It has a very high sensitivity
and specificity in seminoma/dysgerminoma and embryonal carcinoma and in the germ cell component of gonadoblastoma by nuclear
immunostaining. Clear cell carcinoma may enter the differential diagnosis of dysgerminoma as both may grow in nests or tubules, contain
clear cells and have a prominent inflammatory infiltrate (lymphocytes in dysgerminoma and plasma cells in clear cell carcinoma). In
one study that looked at OCT-4 staining in clear cell carcinomas, 4 of 14 tumours were found to be focally positive. In another study, 49
endometrioid carcinomas were OCT-4 negative. Rarely dysgerminoma may have a morphologic appearance that overlaps with sex cordstromal tumours, expecially poorly differentiated Sertoli cell tumours. In two studies, however, all sex cord-stromal tumours of the testis
and granulose cell tumours of the ovary were OCT-4 negative.

Description
p21 is a nuclear 21kD protein, a product of the WAF1/CIP1 gene. It is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21, Cip1), also known as
CDKN1A, which in humans is encoded by the CDKN1A gene located on chromosome 6p21.2. It is a constituent of a large complex of
nuclear proteins, including cyclins, cyclin dependent kinases and PCNA (Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen). Cell cycle progression is
regulated by cyclins and their cognate Cdks. p21 inhibits the activity of each member of the cyclin/Cdk family. The expression of this gene
acts as an inhibitor of the cell cycle during G1 phase and is tightly controlled by the tumour suppressor protein p53. Normal cells generally
display a rather intense nuclear p21 expression. Loss of p21 expression has been associated with poor prognosis in several carcinomas
(gastric carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma and thyroid carcinoma).

Description
p27 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor which regulates progression from G1 to S phase by binding and inhibiting cyclin-dependent
kinases. Low p27 expression has been associated with unfavourable prognosis in renal cell carcinoma, colon carcinoma, small breast
carcinoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, multiple myeloma, lymph node metastases in papillary carcinoma of
the thyroid and more aggressive phenotype in a carcinoma of the cervix.

Description
p53 (Bp53-11) Mouse Monoclonal Primary Antibody is directed against both the mutant and wild type of the p53 nuclear phosphoprotein.
Very rare normal cells express p53, but alterations in the p53 suppressor gene result in an overproduction of this protein in malignancies.
This reagent may be used to aid in the identification of abnormally proliferating cells in neoplastic cell populations. p53 (Bp53-11) antibody
specifically binds to nuclear antigen(s) associated with the normal down regulation of cell division. Increased expression of p53 in actively
dividing cells is an indication of loss of function due to mutation of the p53 gene.

Description
The wild type p53 molecule has a role in transcription, in cell cycle control and in many other metabolic functions. It is also a tumour
suppressor in that it halts abnormal growth in normal cells; however, a mutation in one of its 393 amino acids can eliminate the surveillance
capability of the protein and allow expression of malignant phenotype. Approximately 50% of all human cancers contain a mutation in p53.
The wild type molecule has a short half life, is present in low concentrations and cannot usually be detected by IHC. Many of the mutations
in p53 increase its half life and cause intranuclear accumulation of the mutant protein. Thus in many malignancies of the colon, stomach,
bladder, breast, lung, testes and in melanomas and soft tissue sarcomas, p53 protein can be readily detected in the malignant cells by IHC.
Immunostaining closely correlates with the presence of a mutation. The staining pattern with the CONFIRM p53 (DO-7) Mouse Monoclonal
Primary Antibody is exclusively nuclear and may be present in a heterogeneous pattern.

Description
Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a member of the CD28 family of receptors that includes CD28, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen
4 (CTLA-4), inducible costimulator (ICOS) and Band T-lymphocyte attenuator. These receptors play a role in the cellular immune response.
For example, CD28 serves as a costimulatory receptor that enhances T-cell activation, whereas CTLA-4 serves as an inhibitor of T-cell
activation. PD-1 also has an inhibitory function on T cells and B cells and is important in peripheral tolerance. There are at least 2 ligands
for PD-1: PD-L1 and PD-L2, which are expressed on a range of cells.
CD28 is constitutively expressed on most or all CD4+ T cells and approximately 50% of CD8+ T cells, whereas CTLA-4 is not expressed
on resting T cells. PD-1 is also expressed on activated T cells, B cells and myeloid cells. Iwai and coworkers studied the microanatomic
distribution of PD-1 in human tonsil and found that PD-1 is expressed on most T cells and a small subset of B cells in the light zone
of germinal centres, but not elsewhere in the tonsil. On that basis, it was postulated that PD-1 may play a role in the process of clonal
selection of centrocytes, which occurs in this subanatomic site in germinal centres.
PD-1 is a new marker of angioimmunoblastic lymphoma and suggests a unique cell of origin for this neoplasm. Unlike CD10 and bcl-6,
PD-1 is expressed by few B cells, so it may be a more specific and useful diagnostic marker in angioimmunoblastic lymphoma. It also seems
to stain a greater percentage of CD3-positive neoplastic cells in angioimmunoblastic lymphoma than either CD10 or bcl-6. In addition, PD-1
expression provides new evidence that angioimmunoblastic lymphoma is a neoplasm derived from germinal centre-associated T cells.
PD-1 expression in angioimmunoblastic lymphoma lends further support to this model of T-cell oncogenesis, in which specific subtypes of
T cells may undergo neoplastic transformation and result in specific distinct histologic, immunophenotypic and clinical subtypes of T-cell
neoplasia.

Description
Perforin is a pore-forming protein that leads to osmotic lysis of the target cells and subsequently enables granzymes to enter the target
cells and activate apoptosis, the cell death program. The expression of perforin is upregulated in activated CD8+ T cells, but in NK cells the
expression is constitutively very high and stable. Perforin expression can also be stimulated in some activated CD4+ T cells. CD8+ T cells
and NK cells use both the perforin ⁄ granzyme and the Fas ⁄ FasL pathways, while CD4+ T cells preferentially use the Fas ⁄ FasL pathway.
Although some investigators report a cytolytic potential of CD4+ T cells, it appears more likely that CD8+ T cells are the major effector
population in Th1- associated inflammatory skin diseases. The role of perforin-mediated cytotoxicity has been demonstrated in various
auto-immune diseases. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the cytotoxicity of CTLs may be mediated by cytotoxic granules in certain
inflammatory diseases in humans. In addition, it seems that T-cell cytotoxicity against keratinocytes is mediated by perforin in some
inflammatory skin diseases.
Other authors suggest that perforin may have a dual role in alloimmune response (organ transplant applications). In one regard, it has a cytolytic
function in acute rejection and, in contrast, it may be responsible for downregulating both CD4- and CD8-mediated alloimmune response.

and ancillary reagents. CONFIRM PR (1E2) that recognises the A and B forms of human progesterone receptor and is indicated as an aid
in the management, prognosis and prediction of therapy outcome of breast cancer. One of the important markers in breast cancer today
is progesterone receptor (PR), due to its role in determining the functionality of estrogen receptors present in breast cancer cells. The
presence of estrogen receptor (ER), however, does not guarantee a response to endocrine therapy. Half of all patients with ER positive
primary tumours fail to respond. In tumour cells, genetic expression is often inaccurate, leading to variant protein expression. It is proposed
that mutant ER, that no longer bind estrogen or that no longer perform signal transduction, may be the cause of the failure to respond to
endocrine therapy. One way to evaluate the functionality of the ER present in a breast carcinoma is to determine if proteins regulated by ER
are expressed. Progesterone receptor is such a protein and has been used to monitor for functional ER for many years.

Description
S100 was first detected in nervous tissue and has subsequently been found in a number of other cell types including glial and neural cells,
Schwann cells, melanocytes and nevus cells, cells of cartilaginous and fatty tissue, myoepithelial cells and also Langerhans cells. S100 is
a sensitive marker for melanoma. Antibodies against S100 stain amelanotic melanomas more strongly than pigmented tumours and detect
melanomas that are often negative for other melanocytic markers, such as desmoplastic melanomas. Although S100 is highly sensitive for
melanomas, many non-melanocytic tumours also show S100 positivity. S100 typically is present in neural cells (glial cells and Schwann
cells) and their corresponding tumours.

be used to aid in the identification of cells of normal and abnormal neuronal and neuroendocrine lineage and as an aid in the diagnosis of
anaplastic tumours.
S100 is a sensitive marker for melanoma. It stains amelanotic melanomas more strongly than pigmented tumours and detects melanomas
that are often negative for other melanocytic markers such as desmoplastic melanomas. The staining is cytoplasmic, the proportion of
positive cells varying from 10 to 70 percent or more.
Although S100 is highly sensitive for melanomas, many non-melanocytic tumours also show S100 positivity. S100 typically is present in
neural cells (glial cells and Schwann cells) and their corresponding tumours.1 An advantage of the ubiquity of strongly immunoreactive
S100 protein in peripheral nerves, which are present in almost any section of normal or diseased tissue, is that it provides a built in positive
control for most immunostains for S100.

Description
SV40, Simian Virus 40 is a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans. Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that
has the potential to cause tumours. SV40 is believed to suppress the transcriptional properties of tumour-suppressing p53 in humans
through the SV40 large T-antigen and SV40 small T-antigen. It is generally assumed that large T-antigen is the major protein involved in
neoplastic processes and the large T-antigen predominantly exerts its effect through deregulation of tumour suppressor p53, which is
responsible for initiating regulated cell death (apoptosis) or cell cycle arrest when a cell is damaged. A mutated p53 gene may contribute
to uncontrolled cellular proliferation, leading to a tumour. The hypothesis that SV40 might cause cancer in human has been a particularly
controversial area of research. Some research has suggested that SV40 is associated with brain tumours, bone cancers, non-Hodgkin’s
lymphoma and malignant mesothelioma. SV40 may act as a cocarcinogen with crocidolite to cause mesothelioma.

Tyrosinase is an enzyme involved in the production of melanin pigments. This enzyme catalyses the formation of melanin within the cells
and thus becomes a useful marker for the presence of melanocytes and melanosomes. As a marker of melanocytic lineage, tyrosinase is
localised to melanocytes which can be found on the dermal/epidermal junction of normal skin, but is not detected in other normal cells.
Expression of tyrosinase is also found in melanocytic lesions including benign nevi and the majority of primary and metastatic malignant
melanomas and not in non-melanocytic tumour types.

Uroplakins (UPs) are a family of transmembrane proteins (UPs Ia, Ib, II and III) that are specific differentiation products of urothelial cells.
In non-neoplastic mammalian urothelium, UPs are expressed in the luminal surface plasmalemma of superficial (umbrella) cells, forming
complexes of 16-nm crystalline particles. Moll, et al. reported that UPIII was detectable immunohistochemically in 29 of 55 primary (53%)
and 23 of 35 metastatic (66%) urothelial carcinomas, whereas many non-urothelial carcinomas were UPIII-negative. The authors concluded
that UPIII should be a valuable marker, especially for the specific identification of urothelial carcinomas in patients with metastases of
unknown primary site.

Description
Vimentin antigen is expressed in endothelial cells, fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells and lymphoid cells. A number of tumours coexpress vimentin and cytokeratin, for example thyroid carcinomas, pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands, ovarian carcinomas
and some renal carcinomas. Co-expression of desmin and vimentin has been reported in a number of soft tissue tumours, for example
rhabdomyosarcomas, leiomyosarcomas and alveolar soft tissue sarcomas.

Description
Vimentin is the major and usually only intermediate filament in a variety of non-muscle mesenchymal cells, including all fibroblastic cells,
endothelial cells, lipocytes, Schwann cells and macrophages. The pattern of expression of intermediate filaments may be used as a device
to aid in the classification of undifferentiated neoplasms. Vimentin is expressed in most malignant melanomas, either in the primary site or
in metastatic foci.

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Description
ZAP-70 is a 70 kD protein tyrosine kinase found in T cells and natural killer cells. Control of this protein translation is via the IgVH gene.
ZAP-70 protein is expressed in leukaemic cells of approximately 25% of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) cases as well. ZAP-70
expression is an excellent surrogate marker for the distinction between the Ig-mutated (ZAP-70 negative) and Ig-unmutated (ZAP-70
positive) CLL subtypes and can identify patient groups with divergent clinical courses. The ZAP-70 positive Ig-unmutated CLL cases have
a poorer prognosis.

Description
VENTANA HER2 DNA Probe is designed to detect amplification of the HER2 gene via chromogenic silver or dual colour in situ hybridisation
in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast and gastric cancer, including the gastro-oesophageal junction, tissue specimens following
staining on VENTANA automated slide stainers using light microscopy.
VENTANA HER2 DNA Probe spans approximately 200,000 base pairs of the HER2 gene (also known as ERBB2 and NEU). The DNP labelled
probe is designed to detect amplification of the HER2 gene, which occurs in a percentage of patients diagnosed with invasive breast
carcinoma.1 HER2/neu is a member of the family of four transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases that mediate the growth, differentiation
and survival of cells. 2,3 The HER2 gene is located on Chromosome 17 and encodes the HER2 protein. 3,4 Overexpression of the HER2
protein, amplification of the HER2 gene or both occur in approximately 15 to 25 percent of breast cancers and are associated with
aggressive tumour behaviour.5,1
Recently, amplification of HER2 has been shown to occur in approximately 17% of invasive gastric tumours.6 Additionally, a high
correlation has been shown between HER2 IHC and ISH diagnostic assays on gastric tumour tissue. The scoring criteria for HER2 IHC
and ISH assays was previously published and differs slightly from the breast tumour criteria.7 Therefore, a knowledge of HER2 gene and/
or protein status in invasive breast or gastric cancer patients enables clinicians to make more informed decisions to improve the overall
management of their cancer patients.
VENTANA HER2 DNA Probe is indicated as an aid in the assessment of patients for whom Herceptin (trastuzumab) treatment is being
considered.
VENTANA Chromosome 17 Probe is designed to detect ploidy status of Chromosome 17 via chromogenic silver or dual colour in situ
hybridisation in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast or gastric tissue specimens following staining on a VENTANA automated
slide stainer.
The determination of the genomic status of chromosome 17 (i.e., ploidy) plays a role in the assessment of patients for whom Herceptin
(trastuzumab) treatment is being considered. The VENTANA Chromosome 17 Probe is a 42 base-pair synthetic oligonucleotide designed
to “paint” the centromeric region of human Chromosome 17. The oligonucleotide probe also has a 5’ non-binding AT-rich tail that contains
DNP molecules detectable with anti-DNP antibodies.

Description
The INFORM EGFR DNA Probe is designed to quantitatively detect EGFR genomic gain via chromogenic silver in situ hybridisation (SISH) in
formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimens following staining on VENTANA automated slidestaining instruments using light microscopy.
EGFR gene status is reported as an absolute copy number as well as a function of the ratio of the average number of copies of the EGFR
gene to the average number of copies of Chromosome 7 (Chr7) per cell.
Visualisation of the EGFR gene and Chromosome 7 centromere is either performed on separate slides using the Silver in situ Hybridisation
(SISH) detection kit, or on one single slide, with a dual colour staining technique using SISH detection kit for the EGFR gene and Alkaline
Phosphatese (AP) Red ISH detection kit for Chromosome 7 centromere.

Case 2: Amplified for IGF1R
(IGF1R in silver and Chr15 in red, 60X)
Description
INFORM IGF1R DNP Probe is a Dinitro-Phenol (DNP) labelled probe designed to quantitatively detect IGF1R genomic gain via chromogenic
silver in situ hybridisation (SISH) using light microscopy in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue specimens following staining
on VENTANA automated slide stainer instruments. Genomic gain of IGF1R is associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The
IGF1R gene is located on chromosome 15 (15q26.3) and encodes the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor protein.
Visualisation of the IGF1R gene and Chromosome 15 centromere is either performed on separate slides using the Silver in situ hybridisation
(SISH) DNP detection kit or on one single slide, with a dual colour staining technique using SISH DNP detection kit for the IGF1R gene and
Red ISH DIG detection kit for Chromosome 15 centromere.

IHC Protocol Set-up
and Optimisation
4 days –
F-TRN-107500
This course covers the theory of each
step in the IHC technique and all the
“protagonists” in the IHC reaction.
The participants will learn how to handle
the relevant information concerning
an antibody (pivotal reagent in IHC
staining).
The practical part of this course consists
in optimising staining protocols for given
antibodies on paraffin-embedded tissue
samples.
The staining result interpretation as well
as possible artefacts will be covered
during this in-house training session.
Finally, great interest will be focused
on the Quality Control in IHC, through
the use of control tissues (positive and
negative controls).
THEORY
- Tissue preparation: fixation, tissue processing, slide
preparation
- Antigen: proteins, localisation
- Pretreatment: heat, enzyme
- Antibody incubation: clone, sensitivity, specificity,
incubation time and temperature, working dilution
- Chromogenic detection: different detection
principles (LSAB, ABC, PAAP, Polymer, Multimer),
sensitivity
- Dual staining
- Controls: positive & negative controls (definition and
sources of false positive/negative)
- Staining Ancillaries: amplification kit, biotin blocker
kit, Neuvision reagents…
- Troubleshooting: definition of staining patterns and
artefacts.
PRACTICE
- Antibody technical datasheet: relevant information
monoclonal/ polyclonal, staining pattern, target,
control tissue, working dilution, tissue pretreatment,
storage conditions etc…
- Laboratory sessions:
• Perform runs with VENTANA and non-VENTANA
antibodies on slides brought by participants.
• Build a path to reach the optimal staining for a
given antibody on the corresponding positive
control.

Technical Training
These courses are provided to technical staff such as biomedical engineers having basic technical
knowledge. The course teaches participants how to install a VENTANA instrument and how to carry out a
basic troubleshooting analysis. Based on this diagnosis, they will be introduced to a list of possible causes
and repair possibilities (Level 1 Intervention).
Biomedical Engineer Training - Basic
This basic technical course provides a Biomedical Engineer with all the knowledge required to perform
basic repairs to a VENTANA instrument. At least two Biomedical Engineers are mandatory if the customer
chooses the Shared Maintenance agreement. This training can be conducted in one of our training centres
in Meylan (France), Burgess Hill (UK), Mannheim (Germany) or on the customer premises.
Biomedical Engineer Training - Advanced
For customers who would like to carry out all of the maintenance on a VENTANA instrument themselves,
this four-day course provides a Biomedical Engineer with the requisite level of expertise. This session must
be conducted in one of our training centres in Meylan (France) or Burgess Hill (UK).
