Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Ki-67(MIB-1 clone) is a monoclonal antibody that reacts with cells undergoing DNA synthesis by binding to the Ki-67 antigen, a marker known to be expressed only in proliferating cells. By measuring the amount of tumor cells expressing Ki-67, an estimate of DNA synthesis can be determined. Studies suggest that Ki-67(MIB-1) analysis of paraffin-embedded tissue specimens may provide useful prognostic information in various tumor types.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Varies by tumor type; values reported from 0% to 100%

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Results will be reported as a percentage of tumor cells staining positive for Ki-67(MIB-1). Quantitative Ki-67(MIB-1) results should be interpreted within the clinical context for which the test was ordered.

 

The scoring method using Aiforia artificial intelligence for image analysis was developed and validated in the Biomarker and Image Analysis Laboratory, Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, Mayo Clinic (see Method Description).

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

The paraffin block analyzed must be representative of the patient's tumor.

 

Test results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings and other laboratory data.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

A 4-micron thick section is cut from the paraffin block. The section is stained with an immunoperoxidase method using the monoclonal antibody Ki-67 (MIB-1 clone). This is the paraffin nuclear epitope to the Ki-67 antigen. Any nucleus that has an antigen-antibody complex will cause the bright-field, brown chromogen, diaminobenzidine (DAB), to precipitate onto it. All nuclei, both DAB-positive and -negative, are counterstained with diluted hematoxylin.

 

Ki-67(MIB-1)-stained slides are scanned using the Leica Aperio GT450 digital scanner. The captured digital image is analyzed using a validated AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithm by Aiforia that calculates the percentage of positive staining tumor nuclei. The Aiforia data and corresponding slide are reviewed by a pathologist for final interpretation.(Unpublished Mayo method)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Friday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

4 to 6 days

Specimen Retention Time
Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded

1 week after results are reported. Material made at Mayo Clinic may be retained at Mayo Clinic indefinitely.
