Abstract

An apparatus and method for determining an amount of oncogene protein product copies in a cell includes an optical conversion module for measuring an amount of optically enhanced DNA in a cell sample. A subsystem for measuring an amount of an optically enhanced oncogene protein product protein product is coupled to the DNA measuring means. A subsystem for comparing the measured DNA amount and measured oncogene protein product protein product amount produces a oncogene protein product copy measurement which is fed to an output device for producing an output indicative of the amounts of the oncogene protein product in the cells of the cell sample.
