Patti Loykasek responded to that question a few weeks back:
"Actually the name stands for Our Second Cytokeratin Antibody Rocks! A bit
of path humor (or at least Dr. Gown tried to be humorous!). We are truly a
bit silly sometimes."

now, in print " 50 cases were stained with the Bozo antibody", now there's
Oscar. Tell me this antibody didn't come from Hollywood.

Dr. Allen Gown, from PhenoPath laboratories developed this antibody. Perhaps
you might contact Patti Loykasek at PhenoPath at (206) 374-9000 and she might
help you.

Hi Maria,
We run OSCAR on Ventana Ultraview - CC1 Mild, 37 degrees C, 16 minute
incubation. We get the antibody from Covance - product #SIG 3465-16.
This comes as a 6ml predilute. Our docs like it quite a bit, and order
it on a regular basis.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tom Jasper
