Online data treats- Human Protein Atlas
Sigma Biobloggers are web-nerdy. When we saw over 700 IHC images available on every single antibody Human Protein Atlas investigates…we went on super WEB NERD ALERT.
HPA publishes the Immunohistochemistry data profiled across normal tissue, cancer cells and cell lines for free to everyone.
Then Sigma Life Sciences works with Atlas Antibodies to make Prestige Antibodies® available to everyone.
On YFG you can search for a protein, gene, or other molecule, by pathway, function, disease, etc. etc.
Here we’ll use Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR)
You see to the right all the data that’s available. To find the HPA antibodies with buckets of data, click “Antibodies”.
Here we have many many antibodies associated with EGFR. Then, thanks to HPA and Atlas, we have a select group of antibodies tested for activity in normal and cancer tissues.
Find these on the Product page designated by a Product # starting with the letters “HPA”
Click on it…and you have IHC images from HPA showing the binding activity of Antibody HPA018530 .
If you need to review the normal tissue expression across the board or the data on cancer cell lines and tissues…click on the link “Human Protein Atlas characterization data”
Dig into the data here.
Enjoy your fun IHC data treats. We surely do.
Keep looking and you will also find some ImmunoFluorescent data, and Western Blots.
