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 testis shows nuclear positivity in seminiferus duct cells.
Immunohistochemical staining of human testis shows moderate nuclear positivity in seminiferous duct cells.
Summary
Moderate to strong staining of the luminal membrane was observed in respiratory epithelia, intestinal tract and gall bladder. Seminiferous duct cells, ovarian follicles, adrenal cortex, esophagus and cardiomyocytes showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. The remaining normal tissues were generally negative.
Megakaryocytes, skeletal and smooth muscle displayed strong cytoplasmic positivity while gall bladder and subsets of lymphoid cells outside reaction centra showed moderate staining. Cells in seminiferus ducts showed moderate nuclear positivity. The gastrointestinal tract showed luminal membrane immunoreactivity. Remaining normal tissues were weakly stained or negative.
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
