GLOSTRUP, Denmark, April 3, 2013 - Dako, an Agilent Technologies Company and worldwide provider of cancer diagnostics, recently received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to sell FLEX Monoclonal Rabbit Anti-Human Estrogen Receptor a lpha , Clone EP1 in the United States. The clone has been available in Europe for some time and has enjoyed widespread acceptance.
"We are very pleased to now be able to supply our customers in the United States with this high-quality antibody for estrogen receptor testing on Dako's Autostainer Link 48," said Karen Balstrup, global product manager, IHC Reagents, at Dako.
Research has shown that tumor growth is dependent on the presence of estrogen, progesterone or both in most breast cancers. Estrogen receptor (ER) status in breast carcinomas is a validated prognostic and predictive factor for managing a patient's anti-hormonal therapy. With this important diagnostic tool from Dako, breast cancer patients can be confident they are receiving the most effective treatment for their particular type of breast cancer.
