Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that bind to ERG, and more specifically, to an epitope formed by amino acids 42-66 of ERG3 are disclosed. The monoclonal antibodies can be non-human antibodies (e.g., rabbit or mouse) or humanized monoclonal antibodies having the CDR regions derived from those non-human antibodies. In other embodiments, the monoclonal antibodies are chimeric, having the light and heavy chain variable regions of a non-human ERG antibody. Methods of using the antibodies to detect ERG, or fusion proteins comprising all or part of an ERG polypeptide, such as an ERG polypeptide encoded by a TMPRSS2/ERG, SLC45A3/ERG, or NDRG1/ERG fusion transcript, are also provided, including methods of detecting ERG or ERG fusion events in a clinical setting.

Abstract: Provided are methods of using polycarbonate filters to isolate and detect cancer cells in a biological fluid, particularly biological fluids, such as urine, that contain very low concentrations of cancer cells.

Abstract: Provided are methods of using polycarbonate filters to isolate and detect cancer cells in a biological fluid, particularly biological fluids, such as urine, that contain very low concentrations of cancer cells. The characterization of the isolated cells for the presence or absence of cancer specific proteins is useful for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
