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 skeletal muscle shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in myocytes.
Immunohistochemical staining of human skeletal muscle shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in myocytes.
Immunohistochemical staining of human cerebral cortex shows strong nuclear and cytoplasmic positivity in neuronal cells and glial cells.
Summary
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining of glandular epithelia, lymphoid cells, skeletal muscle and CNS were observed. Urothelium and squamous epithelium were mainly negative.
Most normal cells showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Squamous epithelia were generally negative.
Glandular epithelia generally displayed strong cytoplasmic staining, often accentuated to the plasma membrane or in combination with faint nuclear positivity. In salivary glands, the serous glands showed distinct nuclear staining. Lymphoid tissues showed strong cytoplasmic staining. Cells of the CNS displayed strong nuclear positivity. Squamous epithelia were faintly stained in basal cell layers.
Validation
Two (or more) antibodies yielding similar staining patterns which are consistent with available gene/protein characterization data
