Enhanced Validation-Orthogonal RNAseq Confirmation Immunohistochemistry analysis in human endometrium and tonsil tissues using HPA004751 antibody. Corresponding PGR RNA-seq data are presented for the same tissues.
Enhanced Validation-By Independent Antibodies Immunohistochemical staining of human endometrium, fallopian tube, pancreas and tonsil using Anti-PGR antibody HPA004751 (A) shows similar protein distribution across tissues to independent antibody HPA008428 (B).
Immunohistochemistry Immunohistochemical staining of human endometrium shows strong nuclear positivity in glandular cells.
Immunohistochemistry Immunohistochemical staining of human fallopian tube shows moderate nuclear positivity in glandular cells.
Immunohistochemistry Immunohistochemical staining of human pancreas shows no positivity in exocrine glandular cells as expected.
Immunohistochemistry Immunohistochemical staining of human tonsil shows no positivity in non-germinal center cells as expected.

| Application: | Anti-PGR antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige . |
| Application: | Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below. Immunohistochemistry (1 paper) |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | PGR is highly involved in activation of cytosolic signaling pathway and ligand-activated transcriptional processes. It plays a pivotal role in various reproductive events during pregnancy. It is also essentially required for the mammary gland development. |

| Features and Benefits: | Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section. Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways: • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues. • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments. |
