Wynes, PhD, Joan Albanell, MD, PhD, Fred R. Hirsch, MD, PhD, Edurne Arriola, MD, PhD  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages (January 2011) DOI: /JTO.0b013e3181fb7cd6 Copyright © 2011 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 A, Left (arrows): atypical anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement with deletion of 5′ region of ALK (loss of green-labeled probe centromeric to ALK). Right: normal echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4) fusion pattern. B, Left (arrows): typical gene breakage signal of ALK (yellow wild-type allele, and single red and green probe signals for the rearranged allele). Right (arrows): EML4 typical probe breakage.

3 FIGURE 2 A, Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) amplification (orange/green fusion signals) in a cell with three copies of CEP2 (red signals). B, Polysomic cells from the same amplified case showing 3 to 4 copies of ALK and 3 to 4 copies of the chromosome 2 centromere.

4 FIGURE 3 Immunohistochemical staining analysis of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein expression. Pictures are at ×40 magnification. A, Case with ALK overexpression H score: 260. B, Case with ALK overexpression H score: 80. Both cases correspond to the tumors from patients with echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-ALK translocations by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
