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.
Malignant cells displayed moderate cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Strong positivity was observed in testicular cancer as well as several cases of colorectal, breast and urothelial cancer.
Most malignancies showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity.
Malignant cells showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity.
A majority of hepatocellular carcinomas showed moderate to strong immunoreactivity. Few cases of malignant melanoma were moderately stained. Remaining malignant cells were either negative or weakly stained.
Validation
One antibody yielding a staining pattern which is partly consistent with gene/protein characterization data or consistent with limited gene/protein characterization data
The multi-targeting antibody yielding a staining pattern partly consistent with characterization data for at least one of the genes whereas any of the other genes has no available gene/protein characterization data or is contradicted by gene/protein chara
