About Tissue Dictionary
Tissues
A tissue dictionary is presented to display examples of histological views that are found in the database. The different organs and tissues included in the protein atlas are listed on a schematic overview of the human female and male body. The name of an organ or tissue is linked to a corresponding image from a human anatomy atlas. Each such image contains an anatomical drawing where the selected organ or tissue is displayed as it appears in the human body.

An example of corresponding normal histology can be displayed by selecting an organ or tissue. The image shows one example of a hematoxylin stained tissue spot with (1 mm in diameter). The circular piece of tissue is of the same size as the tissue spots in the protein atlas. Images containing normal tissues provide examples of how normal tissues appear under the microscope. For each microscopical image, text boxes (blue) and corresponding arrows are shown for cell and tissue types annotated in the protein atlas. Furthermore, several of the images contain text boxes (brown) and arrows with additional basic information for better understanding of normal histological features. (Tissue dictionary)


Annotation
A histological dictionary used in the annotation is available as a PDF-document, containing images which are immunohistochemically stained with antibodies included in the protein atlas. The dictionary displays subtypes of cells distinguishable from each other and also shows specific expression patterns in different intracellular structures. (Annotation dictionary)



Cells
A dictionary for the cell lines and primary cells is provided in the format of a comprehensive list of collected data. The dictionary offers a description of each cell line, information on cellular origin, sex and age of the donor, source, original references, and links to commercial sources.

Part of this information is also displayed underneath annotated images in the protein atlas. (Cell dictionary)
