RE: [Histonet] Ventana HPV High/Low Replacements?
Hi Jennifer, I'd recommend looking at this study and comments on biomarkers in HPV: The Lower Anogenital Squamous Terminology Standardization Project for HPV-Associated Lesions: Background and Consensus Recommendations from the College of American Pathologists and the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology Arch Pathol Lab Med-Vol 136, October 2012 The CAP-ASCCP LAST Project--Darragh et al Regards, Mike Michael Kent, MS, PhD www.dermpathlab.com Confidentiality Notice: This email message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential information.

Hello everyone, My lab is interested in starting HPV High and Low Risk ISH testing, but it seems like we just missed the boat on it. We have Benchmark XTs, but Ventana discontinued their HPV probes sometime around last December, and they don't have an alternative at this time. After talking with nearby labs that are currently using stockpiles of Ventana probes, they told me the following courses of action they were planning on using when their stock runs out: -One lab is thinking of doing HPV by PCR -Another is thinking of switching to Dako probes After discussing the possibility of Dako probes with Ventana and Dako, neither could recommend using them together because each side was unfamiliar with the other's reagents or system, though both said it might be possible. Is anybody in a similar situation, looking for a replacement for the Ventana HPV High/Low Risk probes? Any insight on possibilities to pursue would be much appreciated!

RE: [Histonet] Ventana HPV High/Low Replacements?
Just spoke with my Ventana rep about this same topic. My understanding is ANY vendor who sells HPV probe for ISH is out of compliance with FDA and is eventually going to get in trouble. I specifically asked if I could buy probe from elsewhere and was told not likely. This is only a problem for us here in the US because of FDAs restrictions. I hope someone will tell me I misunderstood. Ventana suggests running p16 if you don't already. Just throwing in my 2 cents. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Jennifer Masuzumi Sent: Friday, March 01, 2013 2:09 PM To: Histonet Subject: [Histonet] Ventana HPV High/Low Replacements?

[Histonet] Ventana HPV
Is anyone out there still using Ventana's high risk HPV probe (ISH) for gyn cytology? I would love to hear feedback on this methodology. Thanks for your time. Angel B. ___ Histonet mailing list Histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu http://lists.utsouthwestern.edu/mailman/listinfo/histonet
