Check out Histocyte controls, which are available on slides or blocks. One of
their distributors is Cell Marque:

Their Her2 control include 0, 1+, 2+, and 3+.

I recommend that you e-mail these two gentlemen (both are super helpful) and
they can put you in touch with your local distributor. Both their companies
have HER2 controls plus controls for many other analytes.

Hey Scott - Our interpretation of CAP requirements for IHC Controls is the same
as yours. Our Her2 control is a microarray with 3+ case and a piece of normal
skin to serve as our negative tissue control.
If you have normal breast tissue adjacent to your tumor control, that can also
serve as a
I would suggest that you send several of your own cases to a reference lab that
reads tons of them and see what numbers they report. Then compare the two
results.

The diagnosis differences should not determine a change.

I'd be interested to know if all your pathologists agree that the 2+ cases
are 2+. Is it possible that one of the pathologists is calling more cases
as 2+ than the rest? I would have a lot of questions before modifying the
staining protocol. It would be helpful you posted more info.

Which primary antibody and detection system are you using? Are you
testing core biopsy tissue or excisional tumor? What criteria are your
pathologists using to score a tumor "2+"?

That is a very strange question by your pathologists, since they are the ones
doing the reporting.
If they follow the reporting guidelines and arrive to a 2+ result, they should
report it.
Another question would be: are our lab's 2+ reports above the "mean" for other
labs? The answer to this que
The protocol described by DAKO is very explicit, it produces consistent results
and is the one I followed.
Check it out.

Yes, our slides look weak. I did slides for another hospital and they look
weak as well. I have already contacted the CAP to see if they have received
any other complaints.

Hi Marcia,
Our slides for the Her2 CAP survey stained just fine. We're using a Ventana
XT to stain for Her2 by IHC.
