Abstract
Objectives: The rearrangement of echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4-analplastic lymphoma kinase (EML4-ALK) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells might be a promising therapeutic target. However, the low positive rate seeks a reliable and cost-effective method for ALK rearrangement prescreening. This study aimed to evaluate the application of a novel primary antibody 1A4 for routine ALK immunohistochemistry (IHC) test. Materials & Methods: Primary antibody 1A4 and D5F3 were used for the screening of 595 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues of consecutive patients with lung adenocarcinoma for ALK-positive candidates. Ventana detection system and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were used as reference methods. Results: Among 595 cases, the protein expression statuses of 1A4 were 3+ (18), 2+ (50), 1+ (153), and 0+ (374) and those of D5F3 were 3+ (17), 2+ (18), 1+ (20) and 0+ (540). Ventana detection system and FISH test results were successfully obtained from 482 cases. A total of 298 specimens with 1A4 (-) showed 100% concordance with standard FISH results. All 58 FISH (+) cases were identified by antibody 1A4. Meanwhile, 14 and 5 were missed by antibody D5F3 with routine IHC and Ventana system, respectively. 1A4 with routine IHC had better sensitivity (100%, 75.9% and 91.4%, respectively) but lower specificity (70.3%, 99.8% and 100%, respectively), than D5F3 with routine IHC and Ventana system. Conclusion: The novel antibody 1A4 used as a prescreening method may help to reduce the false-negative rearranged ALK status if FISH or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction results were used for validation.Biography
