FISH  Overview

Molecular diagnostics is the fastest growing segment of the diagnostics market.  Flourescent In Situ Hybridization or FISH analysis comprises 700 Million of this 5 Billion dollar market.  The FISH market is projected to grow at 11% year over year for the next five years.  400 to 500 million of this market is generated in the United States.  FISH testing is used to identify biological markers in the form of DNA/ RNA.  It is well-known method for genetic mapping and gene expression profiling.  This technique uses fluorescent dye-labeled probes and a nucleotide sequence that is mapped to a chromosome or intra-nuclear DNA to generate a fluorescence signal which is visualized in situ by microscopy.  It is performed on fresh preparations such as cytospins(cell suspensions) and touch preps or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues may be used.   It is used for research and clinical diagnostics in the areas of:

• Prenatal diagnosis

• Cancer diagnosis

• Molecular cytogenetic of birth defects and mental retardation

• Chromosomal abnormalities

• Clinical genetics

• Neuroscience

• Reproductive medicine

• Toxicology 

• Microbial ecology

• Evolutionary biology

• Comparative genomics

• Cellular genomics

• Differentiation between benign and malignant tumors

The majority of this market is for reagents including FDA approved tests, companion diagnostics, research use only probes, custom probes and support reagents and supplies.  There is a need for hybridization equipment to perform these labor intensive tests.  To understand the need for hybridization equipment the process requirements must clearly be defined.

The equipment necessary is as follows:

-              pH meter

-              Balance

-              Stir plate

-              Micro-centrifuge

-              Refrigerator

-              Freezer

Tissue preparation will require:

-              Microtome

-              Water bath

-              Oven

Performing the FISH procedure will require the following equipment and materials in addition to reagents:

-              Slide dryer

-              Water baths

-              Hybridization Oven

-              Coplin jars

-              Coverslips

-              Staining dishes

-              Rubber cement (Optional: depends on equipment used)

-              Fluorescent microscopes DAPI filter (blue), FITC filter (green), and a Texas red filter capable of photography

 

The FISH Process - Simplified

Sample prep – depariffinization, dehydrate, air dry, pretreatment(95C @ 30 min, Coplin Jar), protease treatment(37°C 10 – 20 min, Coplin jar), Dehydrate, Air Dry, Mark, apply fish probe,  

Place Cover glass with cement

Denature -  5 minutes @ 75°C (45 – 50°C for metaphase spread + additional step to denature probe) Hybridization - 37°C 16hr – 72hr

Labeling Process

Direct Labeling – label is bound to the probe and it is less sensitive

-              Or    -

Indirect Labeling – Additional step before detection, probe detected using antibodies, results in amplified single

Storage – 4 – 8°C for up to two months, in dark area – light sensitive 

 

Crucial Process Steps

Two steps in the FISH process require equipment for heating the slides; the denaturing step and the hybridization.  These steps are similar for most FFPE FISH procedures. 

Denature: Denaturing the probes and double stranded DNA

Average Time: 5 Minutes

Standard Temperature: 75°C

Hybridization:  Hybridization of the probes to the target nucleic acids

Time Range: 16 – 72 Hours

Standard Temperature: 37°C

Developed slides must be stored at 4 – 8°C until they are evaluated under a microscope and photographed.  They can be store for months at these temperatures. 

 

List of Specific FISH Tests

There are thousands of FISH probes used for research supplied by dozens of companies.  These do not have FDA approval.  The FDA approved test that use the FISH procedure are listed below. 

 

Herceptin

(trastuzumab)

BLA 103792

INFORM HER-2/NEU

P940004S001

Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.

The Inform Her-2/Neu gene detection system is a fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) DNA probe assay that determines the qualitative presence of Her-2/Neu gene amplification on formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded human breast tissue as an aid to stratify breast cancer patients according to risk for recurrence or disease-related death. It is indicated for use as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information currently used as prognostic indicators in the risk stratification of breast cancer in patients who have had a priori invasive, localized breast carcinoma and who are lymph node-negative.

(trastuzumab)

BLA 103792

PATHVYSION HER-2 DNA Probe Kit

P980024S001-S012

Abbott Molecular Inc.

The PathVysion HER-2 DNA Probe Kit (PathVysion Kit) is designed to detect amplification of the HER-2/neu gene via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast cancer tissue specimens. Results from the PathVysion Kit are intended for use as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information currently used as prognostic factors in stage II, node-positive breast cancer patients. The PathVysion Kit is further indicated as an aid to predict disease-free and overall survival in patients with stage II, node positive breast cancer treated with adjuvant cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and 5-fluorouracil (CAF) chemotherapy. The Pathvysion Kit is indicated as an aid in the assessment of patients for whom herceptin (trastuzumab) treatment is being considered (see herceptin package insert).
