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 kidney shows strong cytoplasmic and nuclear positivity in cells in tubules.
Immunohistochemical staining of human vulva/anal skin shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in squamous epithelial cells.
Immunohistochemical staining of human kidney shows cytoplasmic positivity in both glomeruli and renal tubules.
Summary
Moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in a majority of normal tissues. In a few cases of squamous epithelia, distinct membranous pattern was observed. Lymphoid tissues, prostate and pancreas were negative.
Some squamous epithelia showed strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. In the gastrointestinal tract, moderate positivity was observed. most other normal tissues were negative.
Moderate cytoplasmic positivity, often with a granular pattern, was observed in most normal tissues. Duodenum, small intestine and renal tubuli demonstrated strong cytoplasmic staining. Lymphoid tissues were generally weakly stained or 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
Two (or more) antibodies yielding partly similar staining patterns which are consistent with gene/protein characterization data
