TMA Details
Breast cancer with adjacent normal breast tissue array, including pathology grade, TNM,clinical stage and IHC marker (ER, PR and Her-2), 189 cases/192 cores
Custom Tissue Sample
As an ancillary service, Creative Biolabs has expertise in creating custom Tumor Microarrays (TMAs). We have created several FFPE TMAs, organized by cancer indication and collated from over 976 well characterized tumor bank models in duplicate for target expression evaluation.
Notes
1. TMA slides were sectioned and stored at 4°C and may not be fresh cut, but still suitable for IHC. Please request fresh cut if experiment involves phospho-specific antibodies, RNA studies, FISH or ISH, etc. A minimum of 3 slides per TMA must be purchased to cover the cost of trimming for fresh sectioning.
2. Most TMA slides were not coated with an extra layer of paraffin (tissue cores can be easily seen on the glass). To prevent tissue detachment during antigen retrieval, unbaked slides must be baked for at least 30 to 120 minutes at 60°C. before putting into xylene for de-paraffinization. Baked slides were sent out baked for 2 hours.In the following specsheet,"*" means invalid core; "-" means no applicable or negative in IHC markers.
