The cancer tissue page shows antibody staining in 20 different cancers. The overall cancer tissue staining statistics shows the fraction of patient samples with strong, moderate, weak or no staining (as described by the color-coding scale in the box to the right), using all the available antibodies to the protein targets encoded by this gene. The assay and annotation is described here.
The cancers can be ordered histologically or alphabetically.
For each cancer, the staining for each available antibody is reported as the fraction of samples with strong, moderate, weak or no staining (as described by the color-coding scale in the box to the right). The lenght of the bar represents the number of patient samples analysed (max=12 patients). By clicking on a cancer tissue, the detailed staining data for that cancer is available, including annotated images.
At the bottom of this page, a summary for the cancer staining for each antibody is given, together with the immunohistochemistry validation score for that antibody.
Most malignant cells were weakly stained or negative. A majority of malignant melanomas and several cases of malignant gliomas showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity.
Prostate cancers as well as several cases of malignant melanomas, urothelial cancers and hepatocellular carcinomas were moderate to strongly stained. Remaining malignancies were generally negative.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic, often granular, immunoreactivity was observed in most malignant cells. Prostate cancers and some malignant melanomas, colorectal, endometrial and liver cancer showed strong positivity. Cases of malignant gliomas and lymphomas were negative.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding partly similar staining patterns which are partly consistent with gene/protein characterization data or consistent with limited gene/protein characterization data
