The normal tissue page shows antibody staining and, when available, knowledge-based annotated protein expression in 46 human tissues. The assay and annotation is described here.
This page starts with a summary. The summary data can be based on one or more antibodies (reported by the "Antibodies in assay"-field). If the data is based on one single antibody, the IH validation score for that antibody is reported in the "Reliability (Single)"-field (color-coding described here). If the data is based on more than one antibody, the reliability score for the data is reported as "Reliability (APE)" (color-coding described here).
The tissues and cell types can be ordered by organ, cell type or alphabetically.
For each tissue and cell type, the antibody staining is given with the yellow-scale color-coding (described by the scale in the box to the right). Each available antibody is listed in a separate column and the antibody identifier is available at the bottom of the tissue list. The images and annotations can be accessed by clicking on the tissue name.
When available, a knowledge-based annotated protein expression (APE) is given to the right of the antibody staining values. The level of expression is given by a blue-scale color-coding (described by the scale in the box to the right).
At the very bottom of this page, a summary of the staining from each antibody is given, together with a representative image and the immunohistochemistry validation score for the antibody.
Immunohistochemical staining of human lymph node shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in lymphoid cells outside reaction center.
Immunohistochemical staining of human lymph node shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in reaction center cells and moderate staining was observed in lymphoid cells outside reaction centra.
Immunohistochemical staining of human lymph node shows cytoplasmic and membranous positivity in lymphoid cells.
Summary
Lymphoid cells displayed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining normal tissues were in general negative.
Strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was observed in lymphoid tissues. Remaining normal tissues were weakly stained or negative.
A majority of normal tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Lymphoid tissues displayed strong staining in non germinal center cells. Glands of the gastrointestinal tract and female genitalia were generally negative.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
