They don't have to be labeled "experimental" because a CLIA certified lab has full capability and authority to validate any antibody they want to use for any purpose. You do have to document your validation procedure and results. You can also use RUO antibodies under CLIA regs as long as you do the full documented validation. Interestingly there is no suggested disclaimer for RUO antibodies.

Is a general statement (disclaimer) placed on all pathology reports that have immunocytochemistry and/or FISH and ISH or is the disclaimer placed only on the reports where the class 1 ASR antibody or nucleic acid have been used? Thanks for your input?
