摘要:
A method of detecting high-grade dysplasia, pancreatobiliary cancer, or metastatic cancer to the pancreatobiliary tract or inferring an increased risk thereof, comprising obtaining a sample of pancreatobiliary cells from a patient with a set of detectably labeled probes comprising a locus-specific probe for MCL1 (myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1), a locus-specific probe for EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), a locus-specific probe for MYC, and a locus-specific probe for P16 under hybridization conditions and determining the presence of chromosomal abnormalities; a set of probes comprising a locus-specific probe for MCL1, a locus-specific probe for EGFR, a locus-specific probe for MYC, and a locus-specific probe for P16; and a kit comprising the set of probes and instructions for detecting high-grade dysplasia, pancreatobiliary cancer, or metastatic cancer to the pancreatobiliary tract, or inferring an increased risk thereof, in a patient.
摘要:
A method to detect prostate cancer comprising contacting a sample of prostate cells from the patient with a set of detectably labeled probes under hybridization conditions and determining the presence of chromosomal abnormalities in prostate tumor tissue, PIN (intra-epithelial neoplasia), histologically benign tissue and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH); a method to combine immunofluorescence and FISH (IF-FISH) to facilitate the assessment of chromosomal abnormalities; a set of probes; and a kit comprising the set of probes and instructions for diagnosing prostate cancer in a patient.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are hybridization buffer compositions and hybridization compositions, methods of making the compositions, and methods of using the compositions, such as the hybridization of DNA or RNA sequences by fluorescence in situ hybridization (“FISH”).
摘要:
The methods and compositions described herein address the need for a diagnostic method that can be provided to patients with early stage lung cancer, especially non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), to determine whether the patient is at increased risk of poor disease outcome. The methods and compositions thus allow for more informed treatment decisions for the early stage lung cancer patient.
摘要:
Compositions of nucleic acid hybridization probes for detecting a nucleic acid target sequence and methods for their production are described. In one preferred embodiment, the nucleic acid hybridization probe includes a hybridization domain, an adaptor, a linker, and a signaling domain. The hybridization domain includes a nucleic acid sequence having complementarity to the nucleic acid target sequence. The adaptor is a nucleic acid sequence. The linker includes a moiety having at least one abasic site, such that the moiety blocks extension by an elongating polymerase on a nucleic acid template containing the moiety. The signaling domain comprises a nucleic acid having at least one label or a nucleic acid having at least one nucleic acid domain for binding at least one additional nucleic acid.
