Claims
- 1. An in vitro method for detecting a prostatic or urogenital cell proliferative disorder in a subject comprising contacting a specimen suspected of containing a protein selected from the group consisting of Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-1 (NPB-1), Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-2 (NPB-2), Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-3 (NPB-3), Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-4 (NPB-4), Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-5 (NPB-5), Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-6 (NPB-6), Normal and Benign Hyperplasia Prostate Tissue-7 (NPB-7), Benign Hyperplasia and Cancerous Prostate Tissue-1 (BPC-1), Benign Hyperplasia and Cancerous Prostate Tissue-2 (BPC-2), Benign Hyperplasia and Cancerous Prostate Tissue-3 (BPC-3), and Prostate Cancer-1 with a reagent which binds to at least one of the protein and detecting binding of the reagent to at least one of the proteins in the specimen, wherein the presence of at least one of the proteins is indicative of a prostatic or urogenital cell proliferative disorder.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the reagent is an antibody.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the antibody is polyclonal.
