Leica's antibodies for staining the oestrogen receptor (clone 6F11) and progesterone receptor (clone 16) in breast cancer tissue, including ready-to-use versions for its BOND stainers.
FDA 510(k) clearances under 21 CFR 864.1860 (class II), from the openFDA database: oestrogen receptor clone 6F11, first as Vision Biosystems (K060227, 25 May 2006), then Leica Biosystems Newcastle (K122556, 19 May 2014) and the BOND ready-to-use and Novocastra liquid concentrate (K183100, 7 December 2018); progesterone receptor clone 16, first as Vision Biosystems (K062615, 29 January 2007), then BOND ready-to-use and Novocastra liquid (K171753, 21 July 2017; K183102, 7 December 2018; K193393, 6 March 2020). The ASCO and College of American Pathologists guideline (Hammond et al., Journal of Clinical Oncology 2010) recommends that oestrogen and progesterone receptor status be determined on all invasive breast cancers and recurrences, and that an assay count as positive if at least 1% of tumour nuclei stain; it found that up to 20% of receptor tests worldwide might be inaccurate.
An antibody that binds the receptor protein is applied to a thin slice of the tumour; a chemical stain makes the cells carrying the receptor visible, and a pathologist reports the share of tumour cells that stain and how strongly. Connects to Estrogen receptor (ERα) and Progesterone receptor (PGR).
