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 subsets of cells.
Immunohistochemical staining of human tonsil shows moderate cytoplasmic positivity in lymphoid cells outside reaction centra.
Immunohistochemical staining of human testis shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in basal cells.
Summary
Strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity was found in a subset of lymphoid cells in appendix, lymph node, tonsil and bone marrow. Neurons in CNS were moderately stained. Remaining tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Most normal tissues were negative. Moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in a subsets of lymphoid cells.
Moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in most normal tissues. Trophoblastic cells showed strong membranous and cytoplasmic staining while basal cells in testis and subset of lymphoid cells displayed strong cytoplasmic staining. Ovarian and endometrial stroma cells were generally negative.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding partly similar staining patterns which are consistent with gene/protein characterization data
Two (or more) antibodies yielding partly similar staining patterns which are consistent with gene/protein characterization data
