Finally, the presence of the Ews-ERG fusion protein was shown by Western blotting of thymoma proteins using antibodies binding to either Ews or ERG, which detected respectively the normal mouse Ews or Erg proteins and the Ews-ERG fusion molecule in thymoma T cells of an Ews-ERG; Rag1-Cre mouse (Figure 3D). This evidence concerns the gene EWSR1 and thymoma.
