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.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity was observed in most malignant tissues. Malignant gliomas, lymphomas and carcionoids as well as skin, head & neck and lung cancers were mainly negative.
A majority of malignant cells showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Malignant melanomas and a few cases of colorectal, urothelial, pancreatic and liver cancers were strongly stained. Several malignant gliomas, lymphomas and skin cancers were negative.
Most malignancies showed moderate cytoplasmic staining.
A few cases of ovarian cancers were strongly positive.
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
