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 small intestine shows distinct positivity in plasma.
Immunohistochemical staining of human lung shows distinct positivity in plasma.
Immunohistochemical staining of human bone marrow shows moderate cytoplasmic positivity in bone marrow poietic cells.
Summary
Subsets of cells in stomach, renal tubule and bronchus showed moderate membranous positivity with additional cytoplasmic and extra cellular staining. Endothelial cells and plasma showed distinct positivity. Strong immunoreactivity was observed in cervical glands. Remaining normal tissues were mainly negative.
Strong immunoreactivity was observed in stromal cells. Furthermore, moderate cytoplasmic staining was found in most epithelia, sometimes accompanied with membranous and extracellular staining. Cells of the CNS were negative.
Most normal tissues displayed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Strong staining was observed in Leydig cells. Glial cells and cells in spleen were generally negative.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
