Prostate Biopsy Kits are a convenient means for the proper collection, identification and transportation of prostate biopsies. Kits
contain either 8, 12, or 16 prefilled 10% neutral buffered formalin containers arranged in prelabeled positions that correlate with the area of the prostate from which the sample was taken.
Analyte Specific Reagent. Analytical and performance characteristics are not established.

PROSTATE BIOPSY COREDISH 12 COMPARTMENT
The androgen receptor (AR) gene has been identified as a target gene for the Xq12 amplification found in one-third of hormone-refractory prostate cancers. The findings suggest that AR gene amplification and overexpression is involved in the emergence of prostate cancer. The AR (Xq12) FISH probe is optimized to detect copy numbers of the AR gene region at region Xq12. The chromosome X satellite enumeration probe (SE X) at DXZ1 is included to facil...
Antigen Background
p63 is a type II integral membrane protein predominantly localized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. p63 is reported to be expressed in a number of normal tissues including proliferating cells of the epithelium, cervix, urothelium and prostate. p63 is also reported to be expressed in most poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinomas.

Antigen Background
Prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) is an isoenzyme of acid phosphatase found in large amounts in the prostate and seminal fluid. The precise function of PAP is unknown, but it may act as a hydrolase to split phosphoryl choline in semen and also function as a transferase. Elevated serum levels of the enzyme are reported in metastatic prostatic carcinoma.

Antigen Background
IL-6 is a multifunctional cytokine that is secreted by both lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. It plays a key role in immune responses, hematopoiesis and is an important cytokine in cell proliferation and differentiation. It may also play an important role as an autocrine growth factor in metastatic prostate cancer. IL-6 has been reported to play a role in secretion or release of pituitary hormone in pituitary hormone secreting c...
