5.5 POJA-L2513+5005+4282+4296+5028
Titel: Sm-actin and heparan sulfate labeling in the cortical interstitium III of the human kidney
Description:
(A): Kidney cortex, scheme, human.
(5) Glomerulus.
(7) Urinary pole where the urinary space empties into the first part of the tubular system, pars contorta I, proximal tubule (PCT).
(12) Collecting tubule.
14) Arteria corticalis radiata (cortical radial artery).
(16) Afferent arteriole.
(18) Vena arcuata (arcuate vein).
(19) Medulla radiata (medullary rays).
(20) Cortical labyrinth.
(22) Bowman’s space.
(B): Immunofluorescence staining with antibodies against heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG).
HSPG is a crucial element of the basal membranes, mesangium of the glomeruli as well as around the tubule and arterial basement membranes (cortical radial artery).
(C): Immunofluorescence staining with antibodies against smooth muscle actin (Sm-act) found in essential all interstitial cells
(peritubular myofibroblasts), in the wall of blood vessels (cortical radial artery) and much less in the mesangial cells in the glomerulus.
Keywords/Mesh: urinary system, kidney, interstitium, heparan sulfate, smooth muscle actin, histology, POJA collection
