Abstract
Methods, reagents and kits for diagnosing and treating kidney cancer are disclosed. An immunoassay for detecting kidney cancer is based on the relative change of the CELSR1 protein in urine or blood compared with normal tissue. An immunohistochemical assay for detecting kidney cancer is based on the relative absence of labeled antibody binding to cancerous tissue, compared with normal tissue.
