摘要: Summary In a recent study, 23 microdissected areas of 10 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) were investigated for quantitative genomic aberrations using comparative hybridization (CGH). To validate the chromosomal aberrations, as revealed by CGH after microdissection, parallel tissue sections stained immunohistochemically with an antibody that detects both wild-type epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and deletion mutant form (EGFRvIII). Immunostaining was correlated data chromosome 7, because 7 is most frequently aberrant in GBM (here four tumors), this aberration often indicates abnormality EGFR. Nine nine showed gain or amplification (2 areas) contained EGFR-immunoreactive cells. Only three 14 without cells; eleven immunonegative. Our findings demonstrate strong correlation between immunohistochemistry EGFR copy numbers microdissection multiforme.
