General description

ERG is a member of the erythroblastosis virus E26 transforming sequence (ETS) transcription factor gene family, which also includes Fli-1 and ETS-1.1-5 ERG is expressed in lymphocytes and endothelial cells and regulates endothelial apoptosis and angiogenesis. ERG has been found to be expressed in both benign and malignant vascular tumors. Anti-ERG was found to have high sensitivity for vascular neoplasms.1 ERG expression has been observed in prostate carcinomas and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN).1-4 ERG positivity in any other epithelial tumor other than prostate carcinoma is extremely rare. In a study of all carcinomas of the breast, gastrointestinal tract, gynecologic system, kidney, lung, ovary, pancreas, salivary glands, skin, thyroid, and testis were negative for ERG.1 ERG has also been observed to be positive in a minority of Ewing sarcomas.2 This is caused by a chromosomal rearrangement which fuses the EWSR1 gene with the ERG gene (EWSR 1:ERG).5 ERG has also been observed to stain some meningiomas due to cross reactivity with Fli-1.1

Immunohistochemistry plays a key role in the diagnosis of soft tissue tumors. Until recently, however, the primary purpose of immunohistochemistry in this context was simply to attempt to demonstrate a line of differentiation. Unfortunately, most traditional markers (predominantly directed against

The immune response was studied in 238 human patients with Campylobacter jejuni/coli (CJC)-infections in Rotterdam by the counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) test, a commercial complement fixation test (CFT) and the passive haemagglutination test (HA). Antibodies became detectable in the three tests around

Avian v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog (ERG) is highly sensitive and specific for endothelial neoplasms and specific for prostate carcinoma. We characterized a rabbit anti-ERG antibody as an immunohistochemical agent to detect ERG expression in various tumors using tissue

ERG, an ETS family transcription factor, is known to be expressed in endothelial cells, and oncogenic ERG gene fusions occur in subsets of prostatic carcinoma, acute myeloid leukemia, and Ewing sarcoma. In this study, we immunohistochemically investigated nuclear ERG expression

Approximately 50% of prostate cancers are characterized by TMPRSS2 (transmembrane protease serine 2)-ERG (avian v-ets erythroblastosis virus E26 oncogene homolog) gene fusions resulting in an androgen-regulated overexpression of the transcription factor ERG. Some studies have suggested prognostic or predictive relevance
