Plan TNFRSF10B paraffin IHC around cytoplasmic tissue staining (HPA tissue IHC) and membrane topology (UniProt). Start with the catalog antibody's 0.5–1 μg/mL IHC range (datasheet: A00410), compare high-staining adipocytes with low-staining glia (HPA tissue IHC), and score compartments separately.
Expected localisation, validated protocols, controls and antibodies — the at-a-glance facts below, then the full design guide.
| Expected localisation | Cytoplasm observed (HPA tissue IHC); membrane topology (UniProt) | |
| Staining pattern | Ubiquitous cytoplasmic staining across tissue cell types (HPA tissue IHC) | |
| Antigen retrieval | EDTA pH 8.0 HIER, heat-mediated (datasheet A00410) | |
| Positive control | Adipose tissue+4 more · see all | |

| Expected result | TNFRSF10B-positive staining in adipocytes of adipose tissue (HPA tissue IHC: High). HPA tissue profile: Ubiquitous cytoplasmic expression. No signal in the no-primary control. |
TNFRSF10B is a transmembrane receptor with an extracellular region and cytoplasmic tail (UniProt O14763 topology). In paraffin-section IHC, expect broadly distributed cytoplasmic staining, including adipocytes, glandular cells, respiratory epithelium, hematopoietic cells and endothelial cells in the tissues listed by HPA (HPA: tissue IHC). HPA rates the tissue staining Approved, with medium consistency between antibody staining and RNA expression (HPA: reliability).
| Cytoplasmic staining in adipocytes, glandular cells or bronchial respiratory epithelium. | This matches the reported high staining in adipose tissue, adrenal gland, appendix, breast and bronchus (HPA: tissue IHC). Score the identified cell population and intensity; do not require a sharp membrane rim, because HPA describes its tissue pattern as cytoplasmic (HPA: tissue IHC). |
| A clear nuclear-only pattern, without the expected cytoplasmic staining. | Treat this as a compartment mismatch requiring investigation: UniProt places TNFRSF10B in membranes, while HPA reports cytoplasmic tissue IHC staining (UniProt O14763 subcellular location; HPA: tissue IHC). Check the negative control and examine whether counterstain or detection precipitate is being mistaken for specific signal (general IHC practice). |
| Strong staining in an unexpected cell population, while the expected population is unstained. | Check cell identity before calling cross-reactivity. HPA describes ubiquitous expression and high staining in several distinct cell types, so staining outside one selected population is not automatically abnormal (HPA: tissue IHC). A pattern confined to an implausible population can reflect nonspecific antibody binding or endogenous detection activity (general IHC practice). |
| Even colour across cells and empty slide areas, obscuring cellular boundaries. | This is background rather than a readable TNFRSF10B pattern. The reported result is cellular cytoplasmic staining (HPA: tissue IHC). Review blocking, washes and chromogen development; use a negative control to assess antibody-independent colour (general IHC practice). |
| No signal in a sample expected to stain strongly. | First confirm the sampled cell type: HPA reports high staining in adipocytes, bone-marrow hematopoietic cells and several glandular populations, among others (HPA: tissue IHC). A blank run warrants review of section quality, retrieval, antibody incubation and detection controls (general IHC practice); it does not establish absent TNFRSF10B expression. |
| Which compartment should guide scoring? | UniProt assigns TNFRSF10B to the membrane, with residues 56–210 extracellular, 211–231 transmembrane and 232–440 cytoplasmic (UniProt O14763 topology). HPA describes tissue IHC as ubiquitously cytoplasmic (HPA: tissue IHC). Record the observed compartment instead of treating membrane-only staining as a requirement. |
| How strong is the tissue-pattern evidence? | HPA calls the IHC evidence Approved and notes medium consistency with RNA expression; HPA023625 is listed as IHC Approved (HPA: reliability; HPA: antibodies). These labels support use of the reported pattern for comparison, but do not make every stained cell or specimen independently verified. |
| Can expression be inferred from a single tissue or brain region? | HPA reports high staining in cerebellar Purkinje cells and low staining in hippocampal and caudate glia (HPA: tissue IHC). UniProt states that TNFRSF10B is not detectable in brain (UniProt O14763 tissue specificity). Keep these source-specific observations distinct when selecting controls or interpreting brain sections. |
| Can isoforms or processing explain a changed stain? | UniProt lists three isoforms and a signal peptide at residues 1–55, with the mature chain spanning residues 56–440 (UniProt O14763 isoforms; processing). The supplied sources do not map the IHC antibody epitope, so they cannot establish which isoform an apparent pattern detects or predict an epitope-specific result. |
| What does the IF/ICC evidence show? | HPA summarizes the subcellular location as membrane, but provides no main location or cell-line ICC-IF images in this payload (HPA: subcellular ICC-IF). That summary offers a localization comparison, not an IF/ICC staining pattern or a validated IF/ICC procedure. |
| Situation | Likely cause | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| A high-staining reference population is blank. | The run may have failed at retrieval, antibody incubation or detection; absence of colour alone cannot identify the failed step (general IHC practice). | Check tissue morphology and run controls, then review the recorded retrieval, incubation and detection steps (general IHC practice). Compare with a documented high-staining population, such as HPA-listed adipocytes or glandular cells (HPA: tissue IHC). |
| Colour appears in the negative control. | Antibody-independent colour can arise from endogenous enzyme activity or detection reagents, depending on the chromogenic system (general IHC practice). | Identify the detection system, apply its appropriate endogenous-activity control or block, and repeat the negative control before scoring (general IHC practice). |
| The section has diffuse haze or precipitate. | Insufficient washes, concentrated reagents or excessive chromogen development can obscure cellular staining (general IHC practice). | Review washes, reagent preparation and development time; accept the result only when cell boundaries and negative areas remain readable (general IHC practice). |
| Staining appears nuclear-only. | The compartment disagrees with the membrane assignment and reported cytoplasmic tissue pattern (UniProt O14763 subcellular location; HPA: tissue IHC). | Recheck morphology, counterstain and negative control, then repeat with a suitable positive tissue control if the mismatch persists (general IHC practice). |
| An unexpected cell population stains strongly. | The population may be genuinely positive because HPA reports broad expression, or the signal may be nonspecific (HPA: tissue IHC; general IHC practice). | Identify the cells on the counterstained section and compare cellular localization, expected tissue pattern and negative control before assigning specificity (HPA: tissue IHC; general IHC practice). |
| Brain sections give conflicting results. | The supplied sources differ: HPA reports high staining in cerebellar Purkinje cells, whereas UniProt describes brain expression as not detectable (HPA: tissue IHC; UniProt O14763 tissue specificity). | Report the region and cell type alongside the staining result; interpret it against the relevant HPA image and run controls without treating either broad brain statement as a universal IHC control (HPA: tissue IHC; general IHC practice). |

Troubleshoot TNFRSF10B staining in paraffin sections by checking retrieval, compartment, cell type, detection background, and scoring before interpreting chromogenic signal.
Anti-TNFRSF10B antibodies have paraffin-section IHC images from human, mouse and rat samples (catalog IHC captions); A00410-2 also has IF images from all three species (catalog IF captions).
A00410 shows paraffin-section IHC in rat kidney, mouse intestine and human intestinal cancer (A00410 IHC captions); A00410-2 shows formaldehyde-fixed mouse kidney IHC (A00410-2 IHC caption). A00410-5 shows paraffin-section IHC in human endometrioid adenocarcinoma, lung cancer and tonsil (A00410-5 IHC captions); PA1842 shows human lung cancer IHC(P) (PA1842 IHC caption).
Which to pick: For human tissue IHC, choose A00410-5 when its paraffin-section example using EDTA at pH 8.0 and 2 μg/ml fits your assay; PA1842 has a human lung cancer IHC(P) image and a listed range of 0.5–1 μg/ml (A00410-5 IHC caption; PA1842 IHC caption and catalog dilution). For IF/ICC, choose A00410-2: its IF images include human HepG2 cells and human, mouse and rat samples, with 5–10 μg/mL listed for IF (A00410-2 IF captions and catalog dilution). For cross-species paraffin IHC, A00410 has human, mouse and rat image examples; fixation is unreported for A00410, A00410-5 and PA1842, while A00410-2’s mouse kidney example specifies fixation (catalog IHC captions). The selected A00410 tissue-IHC caption documents paraffin sections, but does not specify the fixative (selected-SKU IHC image A00410).
