PRODUCT NAME UNIT SIZE ORDER NUMBER GTIN

 

This fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe is intended to detect deletions of the PTEN gene located on chromosome 10q23.

Vysis LSI PTEN SpectrumOrange/CEP 10 SpectrumGreen Probes are provided in 1 vial as a mixture of LSI PTEN (10q23) probe, labeled with SpectrumOrange, and the CEP 10 probe, labeled with SpectrumGreen. The LSI PTEN (10q23) SpectrumOrange Probe is a ~ 368 kb probe that hybridizes to the 10q23 region on chromosome 10 and contains sequences that flank both the 5′ and 3′ ends of the PTEN gene. The CEP 10 SpectrumGreen probe hybridizes to alpha satellite sequences specific to chromosome 10.

 

In a normal cell with two intact copies of chromosome 10, two green and two orange signals will be observed.

In an abnormal cell with a deletion of the PTEN (10q23) gene region, fewer than two orange signals will be observed.
