Thanks Steph.

I did not find a "quick link" for this.

I did another search and found some older threads that talked about the IHC and FISH test. Actually wonderful Al had a thread link to an outside UK site that described it.

The test of IHC for immunohistochemistry has no number scale other thatn the following:The range is 0-1 for below normal amplification, 1-2+ for above normal and 3+ for excessive amplification.

The UK link also explains that the FISH test also has no number scale. It's either positive or negative.

I thnk I has my question answered. I did my homework.

Thank you for the support and the ideas on how to search it.

XO
