The CINtec® PLUS Kit is an immunocytochemistry assay for the simultaneous qualitative detection of the p16INK4a and Ki-67 proteins in cervical cytology preparations.

It is intended to be used as an aid in the identification of women with high-grade cervical intraepithelial lesions in a screening population, and in the sub-groups of patients with a Pap cytology result of ASC-US (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance) or LSIL (low grade squamous intraepithelial lesion), or in patients with positive high-risk HPV test results.

The kit is intended to be used in medical cytology laboratories. Interpretation of the test results may only be made by a certified professional in conjunction with the patient 's clinical history and additional diagnostic tests that have been performed.

The test is intended for manual use, or for use on Autostainer instruments.", "Language": "en", "Country": "XG", "Code": "Intended Use" }, { "Name": "Background Information", "Value": "In eukaryotic cells, control of progression of the cell division cycle is effected by a complex pattern of controlled expression and post-translational modifications (e.g., phosphorylation) of cell-cycle regulating proteins. The p16INK4a protein plays a major role in this mechanism of regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle. It is part of the reti-noblastoma protein (pRb)-mediated control of the G1-S-phase transition, and it triggers cell cycle arrest in the course of cellular differentiation processes. Thus, p16INK4a provides an anti-proliferative effect when expressed during regular cell cycle progression1. In terminally differentiated epithelial cells, p16INK4a expression is down-regulated to levels typically not detectable by immunocytochemistry2.

In cervical dysplasia, overexpression of p16 is regarded as a surrogate biomarker for transforming HPV infections, reflecting the activation of HPV E6/E7 oncoprotein-driven cell proliferation2-5. Detection of p16 in cervical cytology preparations has been proposed as a valuable adjunctive marker to triage women with abnormal Pap cytology results as well as with positive HPV test results3-5. However, because p16-specific staining may be observed in individual metaplastic or endocervical cells in which p16 may be expressed to exert its physiological normal, growth-suppressive cellular function, interpretation of p16 single-stained cervical cytology preparations requires identification of p16 immunoreactive cells and further classifi-cation of these cells regarding signs of morphologic abnormalities2-4.

The combined simultaneous detection of p16 and the proliferation marker Ki-67 within the same cell by ICC has been shown to be a valuable tool to identify dys-plastic cervical cells in cytology preparations without the need for morphologic in-terpretation3,6,7. Ki-67 is a nuclear and nucleolar protein strictly associated with cell proliferation and is undetectable by standard immunostaining methods in rest-ing (G0) cells8. Under normal physiologic conditions, expression of the proliferation-associated protein Ki-67 is mutually exclusive of the anti-proliferative protein p16. In contrast, cells where the retinoblastoma protein (pRB)-mediated pathway controlling the cell-cycle progression is abrogated upstream of the tumor suppres-sor function of p16 (such as in epithelial cells expressing the high-risk HPV E6/E7 oncoproteins) may proliferate and thus may express Ki-67 in the presence of func-tional p162,3.

Therefore, the detection of individual cells in cervical cytology preparations that simultaneously co-express p16 and Ki-67 may serve as a morphology-independent indicator of cells with cell cycle dysregulation and thus may be used as an indicator of the presence of transforming HPV infections and underlying cervical intraepithe-lial neoplasia2,3. In the recent past, numerous studies have been performed and published evaluating the potential value and clinical usefulness of p16/Ki-67 dual-stained cytology for the identification of women that may benefit from referral to colposcopy based on various primary cervical cancer screening results, including for the triage of women with Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASC-US) or Low grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesion (LSIL) Pap cytology re-sults, women who are high-risk HPV positive in primary HPV screening, or women who are Negative for Intraepithelial Lesion or Malignancy (NILM)/HPV positive in clinical settings where Pap cytology/HPV co-testing is used for primary screening6,7;9-25.

The kit is designed to perform a two-step immunocytochemical staining procedure for cytological specimens obtained from the cervix uteri. For the detection of the antigens, a primary monoclonal mouse an-tibody clone E6H4™ directed to human p16INK4a protein and a primary monoclonal rabbit antibody clone 274-11 AC3 directed against human Ki-67 protein are used.

Ready-to-use visualization reagents comprising (i) a polymer reagent conjugated to horseradish peroxidase and goat anti-mouse Fab’ antibody fragments, and (ii) a polymer reagent conjugated to alkaline phosphatase and goat anti-rabbit Fab’ antibody fragments are used. The visualization reagents have been subjected to solid-phase absorption to eliminate cross reactivity with human immunoglobulins.

The chromogen reactions are based on horseradish peroxidase-mediated conver-sion of a DAB chromogen, and alkaline phosphatase-mediated conversion of Fast Red chromogen to visible reaction products at the respective antigen sites. After counterstaining, a two step mounting protocol must be applied: in a first step, an aqueous mounting of the specimens using an aqueous mounting medium provided with the kit must be used.
