ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an automatable method for the improved diagnosis of pathologically altered cells by simultaneously staining at least two different molecular markers, which exhibit a change in gene expression which is disease-associated, in a cell or constituent regions of a tissue sample by means of using combinations of antibodies and accrediting signal intensities.
