DEMONSTRATION OF THE PHILADELPHIA TRANSLOCATION BY FLUORESCENCE IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION (FISH) IN PARAFFIN SECTIONS AND IDENTIFICATION OF ABERRANT CELLS BY A COMBINED FISH IMMUNOPHENOTYPING APPROACH

The Philadelphia translocation was demonstrated by two-colour fluoresc
ence in situ hybridization (FISH) in decalcified paraffin sections of
bone marrow from patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia, FISH was
combined with immunocytochemical detection of different membrane-boun
d or cytoplasmic antigens. With this new technique, the cells bearing
the 9;22 translocation can be identified morphologically, as well as i
mmunocytochemically, in tissue sections.
