Resumo

The overexpression of the Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor-2 (HER-2) oncogene in human breast cancer is associated with a poor prognosis and a specific treatment. Because of its importance and as a first line option for diagnosis, well established guidelines for its detection are based in immunohistochemical techniques, Still, in Veterinary Medicine there is little and inconsistent information about this subject. The aim of our study was to achieve an optimal immunohistochemical protocol for detection of fHER-2 in Feline Mammary Carcinoma (FMC). Five commercial anti-HER-2 antibodies were tested using three different protocols. The fHER-2 protein overexpression was detected in 10 of the 30 FMC cases (33.3%), when the optimized protocol was performed (associating the A0485 antibody with a longer antigen retrieval method). These results suggest that fHER-2 may play an important role in Feline Oncology and that the Cat can be a suitable animal model for human breast cancer research.
