Mucins in the Epithelium of Renal Collecting Tubules

As an incidental finding to a study of the staining of elastic tissue carried out by one of us 1 , the luminal borders of the epithelium of the collecting tubule in the kidney of the guinea pig were observed to stain intensely by Gomori's aldehyde–fuchsin method 2 (Fig. 1). We have been unable...

Description
Summary:As an incidental finding to a study of the staining of elastic tissue carried out by one of us 1 , the luminal borders of the epithelium of the collecting tubule in the kidney of the guinea pig were observed to stain intensely by Gomori's aldehyde–fuchsin method 2 (Fig. 1). We have been unable to find in the literature any previous report of selective staining of the collecting system in the mammalian kidney.
