The antibodies are designated mAB for monoclonal and pAb for polyclonal.

The release of the Human Protein Atlas in which the antibody was first published.

All assays through which the antibody has been validated. Here are more detailed descriptions of the IHC, ICC, WB and PA assays. The pie-charts indicate degree of validation in the different assays (IHC, ICC, WB and PA.

Antigen retrieval is a method used to restore/retrieve the epitope (antibody bidning region) of the target protein, cross-linked, and thus masked, during tissue preserving fixative treatment of the tissues.

Conformance of the expression pattern with available gene/protein characterization data in scientific literature and data from bioinformatic predictions.

UniProt is used as the main source of gene/protein characterization data and when relevant, available publications and other sources of information are researched in depth. Extensive or sufficient gene/protein data requires that there is evidence of existence on a protein level and that a substantial quantity of published experimental data is available from literature and public databases. Limited protein/gene characterization data does not require evidence of existence on a protein level and refers to genes for which only bioinformatic predictions and scarce published experimental data is available.

Consistency between immunohistochemistry data and consensus RNA levels is divided into five different categories: i) High consistency, ii) Medium consistency, iii) Low consistency, iv) Very low consistency, and v) Cannot be evaluated.
