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.
Basically all malignant cells were negative. A few cases of squamous cell carcinomas in cervix showed strong cytoplasmic and nuclear immunoreactivity.
Most malignant tissues were negative nevertheless single cases of several malignancies showed strong cytoplasmic staining e.g. colorectal, ovarian, cervical, endometrial, stomach and pancreatic cancers. Positivity was most abundant seen in female genital cancers.
Weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity was observed in most tumor cells. Malignant gliomas, malignant lymphomas, renal and testicular tumors were negative. Rare cases of cervical squamous cell carcinomas exhibited additional nuclear positivity.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding partly similar staining patterns which are consistent with gene/protein characterization data
