ICC Experimental Tips Precautions. Ki67 is localized on chromosomes and in the cell nucleus, so it is recommended to fix cells with 4% PFA. Improper fixatives may result in no staining. The cellular state can affect proper protein localization; therefore, ensure cells are in a normal state before fixation to avoid mislocalization of the target ...

Oct 30, 2018 · Purpose: This protocol describes how to stain sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue for Ki67, a protein marker of proliferation expressed during S, G2, and M phase of the cell cycle.

Ki67 prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PMID: 27362226).

ICC tips. Ki67 is located in the nucleus, so you need to permeabilize cells for successful immunostaining. We recommend following the tips below for IHC.

The ICC for Ki67 scores (log-transformed) by the two pathologists was 0.82 (95% CI 0.78–0.85); using cut points of ≤ 5, 6–29, 30+, the Kappa was 0.67 (95% CI 0.56–0.78). Using the IKWG guidelines, the scoring by pathologists took an average of 9–13 min per case.

Dec 28, 2020 · Ki67 immunohistochemistry, commonly used as a proliferation marker in breast cancer, has limited value for treatment decisions due to questionable analytical validity.

Dec 15, 2020 · We examined the large body of data on Ki-67 IHC accumulated by the UK National External Quality Assessment Scheme for Immunocytochemistry and In-Situ Hybridisation (UK NEQAS ICC & ISH) in the course of its external quality assessments to determine whether any systematic differences in performance could be ascribed to specific components of the ...
