| Popis: | The binding of peanut agglutinin (PNA) to epithelial membranes of the rabbit kidney was evaluated at the light- and electron-microscope level using PNA conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. In the renal cortex and outer stripe of the medulla PNA appears to bind exclusively to the luminal membrane of intercalated cells in connecting tubules and collecting ducts. PNA also binds to the thin descending limb of the loop of Henle in the inner stripe and inner zone of the medulla. This very specific affinity of PNA should be useful in the isolation and characterization of specific cell types in cytologically heterogeneous epithelia. |
