Figure 2.
Expression of Ksp-cadherin in adult kidney. The micrographs show immunofluorescence staining with PNA lectin (PNA) and of Ksp-cadherin (cadherin-16) in normal adult kidney tissue of RCC patient 11. The section was counterstained with DAPI to visualise the cell nuclei and the tubules (merge). Ksp-cadherin is present in the tubules stained with PNA lectin, identifying them as distal tubules and collecting ducts, but not in proximal tubules.
