    Notes: Abstract: Various factors influence analysis of steroid receptors, including tissue processing, fixation, and antibody clones used. Furthermore, the detection methods, that is, use of epitope retrieval by microwave heating and signal amplification, may affect the reliability of the results. Eleven different fixation/tissue-processing methods as well as different commercial antibodies for the estrogen-and progesterone-receptors and the tyramine amplification technique were evaluated for optimizing the staining procedures.Moreover, the results from the optimal immunohistochemical procedure were compared with results obtained using a biochemical dextran-coated charcoal assay in 88 breast carcinomas from postmenopausal patients. The four antibody clones tested (1D5, 6F11, 1A6, and antiserum) revealed different sensibility to formalin, either favoring shorter or longer periods of fixation. Overall, a delay in the onset of fixation showed the worst results, whereas overfixation for up to 4 days or pH of formalin had little influence. Using the new tyramine technique it was possible to reduce costs per slide considerably by increasing antibody dilution.Comparison of the biochemical assay with optimized immunohistochemistry in the 88 cases investigated showed an overall concordance of 98.9%. Our study suggests an optimized immunohistochemical procedure that can replace the biochemical “gold standard” if standardization of tissue processing is maintained.

    Notes: Abstract  We combined laser-assisted microdissection from H&E-stained paraffin sections, degenerated oligonucleotide-primed polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR), and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to analyse chromosomal imbalances in small tumour areas consisting of 50–100 cells. This approach was used to investigate intratumour genetic heterogeneity in a case of metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma and chromosomal changes in areas of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) adjacent to the invasive tumour. In four microdissected invasive tumour areas with different histological patterns (acinar, cribriform, papillary and solid) marked intratumour heterogeneity was found by CGH. Recurrent chromosomal imbalances detected in at least two microdissected tumour areas were gains on 1p32→p36, 2p22, 3q21, 7, 8q21→q24, 11q12→q13, 16p12→p13, 17, 19 and loss on 16q23. Additional chromosomal changes were found in only one of the microdissected areas (gains on 16q21→q23, 20q22 and losses on 8p21→p23, 12p11→q12, 12q21→q26, 13q21→q34, 16q12, and 18q22). In PIN, gains on chromosomes 8q21→q24 and 17 were found in both samples investigated (low and high grade PIN), while gains on chromosomes 7, 11q, 12q, 16p, and 20q and losses on 2p, 8p21→p23, 12q were found only in one PIN area. Controls to ensure reliable CGH results consisted in CGH analyses of (i) approximately 80 microdissected normal epithelial cells, which showed no aberrations after DOP-PCR and (ii) larger cell numbers (approximately 105 or 107 cells) of the primary tumour investigated without DOP-PCR and partially displaying the chromosomal imbalances (gain on 16p12→p13, losses on 2p25, 8p21→p23, 12p11→p12, 12q21→q26, 18q22) found in the small microdissected areas. Microsatellite and FISH analyses further confirmed our CGH results from microdissected cells. The combined approach of laser-assisted microdissection, DOP-PCR and CGH is suitable to identify early genetic changes in PIN and chromosomal imbalances associated with the particular histological patterns of invasive prostatic adenocarcinoma.

    Notes: Abstract In this overview we emphasize new methods of improving immunohistochemical results in formaldehyde-fixed tissue samples. The benefit of heat-induced antigen retrieval in demasking of concealed epitopes is demonstrated. We provide guidance on the influence of heat-induced antigen retrieval in commonly applied monoclonal and polyconal antibodies. Moreover, we show the promising methods of signal amplification using biotinylated tyramine and signal intensification of diaminobenzidine reaction products by metallic ions.

    Notes: Abstract  Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on 15-μm-thick paraffin sections from prostatic carcinomas using a chromosome 7-specific α-satellite DNA probe. A confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) was used for optical sectioning of the thick sections and reconstruction of 3D images. The number of FISH signals was determined by a gallery of optical sections evaluating only complete nuclei. To investiate the influence of section thickness and truncation and nuclei on scoring results, we compared the FISH data from 15-μm sections with signal counts obtained from 5-μm sections. The latter were evaluated by conventional fluorescence microscopy in the same tumor regions previously defined and marked on the slides. After statistical analysis of spot frequencies in tumor and non-tumorous cells (χ2 test), we transferred the signal frequencies into a cytogenetic classification (−7, +7, polysomy 7). Based on this classification, most cases showed more than one chromosome 7 aberration type. Trisomy 7 (+7) became apparent in 15-μm-thick sections in all 19 tumors, polysomy 7 (〉3 spots) in 18/19 cases, and monosomy 7 (−7) in 13/19 cases. In 5-μm sections, however, trisomy 7 and polysomy 7 were found in only 7/19 and 13/19 cases, respectively, and monosomy 7 in 7/19 cases. When comparing the classification results of tumor cells of the same tumor regions originating either from 5-μm or 15-μm sections, the following discrepancies were noted: in 15-μm sections exclusively, in 12/19 tumors, trisomy 7 was found; in 6/19 cases, polysomy 7; in 8/19 cases, monosomy 7. The high proportion of cases with tumor nuclei expressing only one hybridization signal of chromosome 7 in 15-μm sections could be confirmed as monosomy 7 in five selected cases by double-hybridization using centromere-specific probes for chromosomes 7 and 12. These results demonstrate that numerical chromosome 7 aberrations are more frequently observed in thick (15-μm) paraffin-embedded tissue sections by evaluating only complete nuclei. The use of routine sections (5-μm) for interphase cytogenetic analyses is compromised by a remarkable underestimation of the real chromosome copy numbers.

    Notes: Abstract Conventional karyotyping of Hodgkin's disease (HD) has until now yielded only limited insight into karyotypic characteristics of this discase. For this reason, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using alphasatellite chromosome-specific probes was applied to paraffin sections of HD tumors in order to verify numerical aberrations suggested to be specific for HD in the literature. The FISH technique was combined with immunohistochemical detection of the CD30 antigen to allow easier identification of the Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin (RS&H) cells. The number of specific FISH signals per nucleus was determined both in CD30-positive RS&H cells as well as in non-malignant “bystander” cells in order to assess differences in the signal distribution. Contrasted with normal lymphoid cells, the tumor cells in HD were found to be polysomic for at least one of the chromosomes analyzed (1,2,4, and 8). The technique described is a reliable method for confirmation of results obtained from conventional cytogenetics, which is especially suited for archival material or samples not containing dividing cells.

    Notes: Abstract  In situ hybridization (ISH) has proven to be a very important molecular tool in research and diagnosis. However, its applicability can be limited by its restricted detection sensitivity. During the last few years, several strategies have been developed to improve the threshold levels for ISH detection by amplification of either target nucleic acid sequences prior to ISH or the detection signals after hybridization procedures. In this overview, we outline and analyze the principles, applications, and limitations of in situ polymerase chain reaction, in situ self-sustained sequence replication, primed in situ labeling (PRINS), and in situ transcription as examples of target amplification methods, and catalyzed reporter deposition using biotinylated tyramine as an approach to signal amplification in ISH. We also provide a detailed, 1-day protocol for non-radioactive oligonucleotide ISH including signal amplification, which is suitable for diagnostic purposes. Furthermore, future directions of ISH including combined strategies of target and signal amplification as well as automation are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract  Comparative genomic hybridisation (CGH) is based on a two-colour, competitive fluorescence in situ hybridisation of differentially labelled tumour and reference DNA to normal metaphase chromosomes. This new technology has made a great impact in molecular tumour pathology due to its possible application to archival specimens and the ability to create copy number karyotypes throughout the whole genome from very small amounts of DNA. If chromosomal imbalances can be correlated with a etiological and clinical features of tumours, CGH could be able to provide new prognostic and diagnostic criteria. CGH findings further provide starting points for the molecular genetic characterisation of altered chromosomal regions harbouring yet unidentified genes involved in tumorigenesis and tumour progression. An overview of the results of published CGH studies on solid tumours and haematological malignancies is presented. Methodological limitations of the CGH technology are reported, as well as future developments which will improve its use in routine analysis.

    Notes: Abstract Although the tyramine amplification technique to enhance sensitivity in immunohistochemistry has been described in numerous methodological papers, it has not yet gained access to diagnostic immunohistochemistry. This is mainly due to problems and pitfalls occurring in adaptation of this method to routine application. In this study a monoclonal antibody and a polyclonal antiserum (pan-cytokeratin and anti-myoglobin) were tested in tissues with different amounts of epitopes, using a checkerboard table and testing a total of 133 different dilution combinations of both the tyramide solution and the primary antibodies. The specific tissue investigated, i.e. the amount of accessable epitope to be detected and the applied concentration of the tyramide solution mainly influenced the staining reaction. Several pitfalls such as an uneven distribution of the staining or dramatic overstaining (paradoxical overstaining) must be considered to achieve optimal results. In conclusion, our data confirm methodological studies that the tyramine amplification technique is a powerful method to enhance immunohistochemical sensitivity. However, for reliable daily practice several pitfalls of the technique have to be circumvented.
