Herein disclosed are methods that are prognostic for renal cell carcinoma, particularly renal clear cell carcinoma, afflicting a vertebrate. An exemplary prognostic method comprises detecting the presence of, and quantitating the level and / or extent of a MN / CA9 gene expression product in a sample from the affected subject, wherein if 50% or fewer cells are found to express the MN / CA9 gene, then the subject is considered to have a poorer prognosis. MN / CA9 gene expression products useful in the prognostic methods include MN protein, MN polypeptide and / or MN nucleic acids. The methods are useful as an aid in the selection of treatment for a patient with renal cell carcinoma, alone or in combination with conventional tumor stage and / or grade information. The methods of the invention can be used, for example, to identify those patients requiring more aggressive therapy regimens, or those patients most likely to respond to adjuvant immunotherapies, particularly MN / CA IX / CA9-targeted therapies.

The invention provides for the production of several humanized murine antibodies specific for the antigen LK26, which is recognized by the murine antibody LK26.
