This invention relates to methods of analyzing a tissue sample from a subject. In particular, the invention combines morphological staining and / or immunohistochemistry (IHC) with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) within the same section of a tissue sample. The analysis can be automated or manual. The invention also relates to kits for use in the above methods.

The present invention provides compositions, kits, assembles of articles and methodology for detecting multiple target molecules in a sample, such as in a tissue sample. In particular, site-specific deposition of elemental metal is used in conjunction with other means of detection, such as other chromogenic, radioactive, chemiluminescent and fluorescent labeling, to simultaneously detect multiple targets, such a gene, a protein, and a chromosome, in a biological sample. More particularly the multiple targets may be labeled with the specifically deposited metal and other chromogenic labels to allow chromogenic immunohistochemical (IHC) detection in situ by using bright field light microscope.

The present invention provides progastrin-binding molecules specific for progastrin that do not bind gastrin-17(G17), gastrin-34(G34), glycine-extended gastrin-17(G17-Gly), or glycine-extended gastrin-34(G34-Gly). Further, the invention provides monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) selective for sequences at the N-terminus and the C-terminus of the gastrin precursor molecule, progastrin and the hybridomas that produce these MAbs. Also provided are panels of MAbs useful for the detection and quantitation of progastrin and gastrin hormone species in immuno-detection and quantitation assays. These assays are useful for diagnosing and monitoring a gastrin-promoted disease or condition, or for monitoring the progress of a course of therapy. The invention further provides solid phase assays including immunohistochemical (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) assays suitable for detection and visualization of gastrin species in solid samples, such as biopsy samples or tissue slices. The progastrin-binding molecules are useful therapeutically for passive immunization against progastrin in progastrin-promoted diseases or conditions. Also provided are surrogate reference standard (SRS) molecules that are peptide chains of from about 10 to about 35 amino acids, wherein the SRS molecule comprises at least two epitopes found in a protein of interest of greater than about 50 amino acids. Such SRS molecules are useful as standards in place of authentic proteins of interest.

The invention relates to a tissue dewaxing transparent agent free of benzene, which is used in biological histology, histopathology or forensic science, can make a tissue transparent, and can make the tissue dewaxed. The tissue dewaxing transparent agent belongs to the technical field of in vitro diagnostic reagents. The tissue dewaxing transparent agent mainly contains 95%-100% of alicyclic hydrocarbon, and the balance of accessories; the alicyclic hydrocarbon is a monocyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon or a bicyclic alicyclic hydrocarbon. The tissue dewaxing transparent agent free of benzene has the advantages of being non-toxic, soft in effect, and not easy to cause shrinkage, deformation, hardening and embrittlement of a tissue material, capable of improving the section intact rate, insensitive to the humid environment, not easy to muddy due to absorption of moisture in the air, and the like; not only can be used for liquid based cytology, immunohistochemistry, biological histology, routine pathological diagnosis, and immunohistochemical diagnostic techniques, is also suitable for special staining method and histochemical techniques. The refractive index of used alicyclic hydrocarbon transparent agent (cyclohexane) is 1.42, the (methyl cyclohexane) refractive rate is 1.42, and is basically consistent with the tissue refractive index (1.418), and the transparent effect is better.

The present invention relates to methods and compounds for detection of molecular targets, such as biological or chemical molecules, or molecular structures, in samples using a host of experimental schemes for detecting and visualizing such targets, e.g. immunohistochemistry (IHC), in situ hybridization (ISH), ELISA, Southern, Northern, and Western blotting, etc.

The invention discloses an anti-PD-L1 antibody as well as application, a preparation method, a kit and a drug, and relates to the technical fields of biological detection and treatment. The anti-PD-L1 antibody provided by the invention contains a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region, wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO. 5, and the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO. 6. The anti-PD-L1 antibody can be combined with PD-L1 recombinant proteins and inflammation tissue cells or tumor tissue cells expressing PD-L1 molecules via specific recognition, so that the anti-PD-L1 antibody has a relatively high specificity and avidity, can be used for immunoblotting, enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry and can also be used for treating diseases of tumors, immunological diseases, chronic infectious diseases and the like.

The application is to antibodies which have been labeled with polyenzyme (multiple enzymes), specifically polyperoxidase, for use in direct immunohistochemical assays of tissues. The antibodies used diagnostically may also be antibodies which are used therapeutically.
