Effect of antibody preadsorption on AeAE immunolabeling in consecutive sections of Aedes Malpighian tubules. Representative immunoperoxidase labeling of AeAE is shown in isolated Malpighian tubules from adult Aedes females. The antibodies used and the presence of immunogenic peptides are indicated. The sections in A and B are from the same Malpighian tubule, taken 4 μm apart; the sections in C and D are likewise. In A and C, the arrows indicate red staining associated with the immunolabeling. In B and D, the arrows indicate the cells that are stained in A and C, respectively. The blue counterstain (hematoxylin) labels nuclei and provides contrast.
