The CARS/CCP11 FISH Probe Kit is designed to detect the human CARS gene located on chromosome band 11p15.4, along with the number of chromosome 11 copies per cell.* Abnormal expression of the CARS gene – also know as CARS1, CYSRS or MGC:11246 – has been observed in inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMT) and several other tumor types.

The probe is labeled with CytoOrange and CytoGreen. CytoOrange is a fluorophore with an excitation peak at 551 nm and emission peak at 575 nm, giving it an orange fluorescent signal with an appropriate filter; CytoGreen has an excitation peak at 495 nm and emission peak at 518 nm, giving it an green fluorescent signal with an appropriate filter.
