Comparison of HercepTest (mAb) (HcT) and PATHWAY 4B5 (4B5) with respect to IHC scores and FISH status. A According to ASCO/CAP IHC scoring, all ISH positive cases (filled symbols) were scored IHC 3 + or IHC 2 + by using HcT. In two of the ISH positive tumors, 4B5 was IHC 1 + (red circle). B Detailed analysis of 53 tumors scored as IHC 0 according to ASCO/CAP by 4B5 (see cases within blue frames in A) with 41 tumors showing no staining and 12 cases with HER2 expression in < 10% of cells (grey area). Using HcT, 16 cases were shifted up to IHC score 1 + and in 3 cases to IHC 2 + (matching to HER2-low category). Fourteen cases were shifted from no staining by 4B5 to some staining (< 10%, grey zone) by HcT (matching to HER2 ultra-low category: 0 < 1 +). IHC scores were unchanged in 20 cases (19 IHC 0, 1 IHC 0 < 1 +)
