Spectral karyotype analyses of cartilage tumours (CAT#: STEM-ST-0381-WXH)

Introduction

Cartilage tumors vary in severity from benign enchondroma to low-grade malignant chondrosarcoma to the highest-grade dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma. Chondrosarcoma is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor, accounting for 10-20% of all primary bony malignancies.

Principle Applications Procedure Materials Notes Related Products

Principle

It is based on the hybridization of collections of chromosome-specific FISH probes labeled with different fluorochromes or fluorochrome combinations, allowing the discrimination of each of the 24 different human chromosomes.

Applications

Detection of subtle chromosomal aberrations, including marker chromosomes, small translocations, complex rearrangements and minute structural abnormalities.

Procedure

1. Metaphase preparation
2. Slide pretreatment
3. Slide and probe denaturation
4. Hybridization
5. Detection
6. Image acquisition and image analysis

Materials

Fluorescent dyes, spectrum orange, Texas red, Cy5, spectrum green, Cy5
