Test info

  
DOG1 monoclonal antibody (K9 clone) by IHC
  
12376 - Technical only, 12379 - Technical & interpretation
  
LAB12376
LAB12379
  

All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue

  
  • DOG1 has a reported sensitivity of 94% to 100% in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
  • DOG1 is more sensitive than CKIT (CD117) in detecting GIST tumors of gastric origin, tumors with epithelioid morphology, and tumors harboring PDGFRA mutations
  • Thus, DOG1 staining may be a useful adjunct to confirm an epithelioid or gastric GIST and discriminate from leiomyosarcomas (which can be CKIT positive)
    Note: approximately 1-2% of GISTS of the GI tract will be negative for both DOG1 and CKIT

Specifications

  • Calcium-regulated chloride channel protein

Staining pattern

  • Membranous and cytoplasmic staining

Expected normal staining:

  • DOG1 is positive in the following normal tissues: Cajal cells of the gastrointestinal tract, luminal surface of the gastric mucosa, salivary gland, pancreatic acini, intrahepatic bile ducts, gallbladder, bladder, breast and prostate myoepithelial/basal cells
  • DOG1 positivity has been described in rare cases of leiomyosarcoma, peritoneal leiomyomatosis, synovial sarcoma, and desmoplastic melanoma
  • DOG1 positivity has also been described in the following carcinomas/epithelial neoplasms: hepatocellular carcinoma, basal cell adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, and GI tract carcinomas.
  • DOG1 positivity has been described in dendritic-shaped Cajal cells which can colonized intramural GI leiomyomas
