Cytocell Technologies introduces its new screening system for acute lymphocytic leukaemia and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia using its Chromobrobe slide technology - eight probes on a single Fish slide
Chromobrobe is a unique device designed to test eight different probes associated with acute lymphocytic leukaemia, all in a single hybridisation experiment.
Picks up any translocation involving MLL.
Rearrangements occur in 85% of paediatric ALL gene.
Detects TEL(ETV6)/AML1 found in 21% of paediatric cases.
Detects hyperploidy which occurs in 30% of ALL cases The number and identity of additional chromosomes is of huge prognostic value.
The panel also includes probes for E2A, IGH and MYC.
The Chromoprobe Multiprobe platform is a combination of a proprietary chemistry and unique slide layout making Cytocell Fish panels a favourite for diagnosis of genetic abnormalities.
Cytocell says its new leukaemia range will expand yet further over the coming months - watch this space.
