Research Abstract

An experimental SISH probe designed by Ventana Medical Systems(Tucson, AZ) was used to evaluate IGF1R gene copy number on 10 non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) cell lines. The mean number of IGF1R gene copies/nuclei per cell line was 2.26(range : 1.12-7.56). The median copy number was 2.11.Squamous cell carcinoma had 7.56 copy number compared to non-SCC histologies. IGF1R gene copy number detected by SISH is higher in Squamous cell carcinoma cell line than in other cell line of NSCLC.
