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 reaction center cells and cells outside reaction centra.
Immunohistochemical staining of human lymph node shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in reaction center cells and lymphoid cells outside reaction center.
Summary
Cytoplasmic staining in most tissues of variable intensity, strong staining in all lymphoid tissues. Immunoreactivity with high intensity was also observed in ductus seminiferus in testis and renal glomeruli. Most other cells exhibited weak to moderate staining in cytoplasm and occasionally in membranes.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous staining in most normal tissues. Staining pattern was often in highly organized dot-like pattern. Appendix, kidney, prostate and lymphoid tissues displayed strong cytoplasmic staining. Squamous epithelia and CNS were negative or showed weak staining.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding partly similar staining patterns which are consistent with gene/protein characterization data
