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 stomach shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in glandular cells.
Immunohistochemical staining of human tonsil shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in reaction center cells.
Immunohistochemical staining of human tonsil shows strong cytoplasmic positivity in ,reaction center cells.
Immunohistochemical staining of human duodenum shows strong cytoplasmic and membranous positivity in glandular cells.
Summary
Most normal cells displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity.
Moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining was observed in lymphoid tissues and in most glandular epithelia. Myocytes, squamous epithelia and cells of the CNS were weakly stained or negative.
Most normal tissues showed moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Strong staining was mainly observed in renal tubules, transitional epithelia, fallopian tube, neurons and lymphoid tissues.
Most normal tissues showed moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining which in cases was combined with membranous positivity. Hepatocytes, smooth muscle, skeletal muscle and decidual cells 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
