A wide range of cell and tumor markers including the blood group-related isoantigens A, B, O(H) and T-Ag, the cell markers DCA(F36/22) and epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), and the oncogene-related proteins RAP-5p21 and ORP-p21 were investigated by means of immunohistochemistry in selected biopsies from 36 bladder cancer patients with the aim of ascertaining which are of value in patients' survival. A heterogeneous distribution of positivity was found for each marker. In addition, EMA immunostaining correlated significantly (p < 0.05) with patient survival. We conclude that immunohistochemical detection of EMA may provide additional prognostic information in bladder cancer patients.

D007519	Isoantigens	Antigens that exist in alternative (allelic) forms in a single species. When an isoantigen is encountered by species members who lack it, an immune response is induced. Typical isoantigens are the BLOOD GROUP ANTIGENS.	Alloantigens,Alloantigen,Isoantigen

D011518	Proto-Oncogene Proteins	Products of proto-oncogenes. Normally they do not have oncogenic or transforming properties, but are involved in the regulation or differentiation of cell growth. They often have protein kinase activity.

D000943	Antigens, Differentiation	Antigens expressed primarily on the membranes of living cells during sequential stages of maturation and differentiation. As immunologic markers they have high organ and tissue specificity and are useful as probes in studies of normal cell development as well as neoplastic transformation.

D000951	Antigens, Neoplasm	Proteins, glycoprotein, or lipoprotein moieties on surfaces of tumor cells that are usually identified by monoclonal antibodies. Many of these are of either embryonic or viral origin.	Neoplasm Antigens,Tumor Antigen,Tumor Antigens,Antigen, Tumor,Antigens, Tumor
D000957	Antigens, Viral, Tumor	Those proteins recognized by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumors induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation.
