Figure 5. Tubular HD5 expression in states of sterility and infection.

Figure 5

Human kidney labeled for HD5 (green), nuclei (blue) and nephron specific markers (red). Segment markers consisted of AQP-2 for collecting tubules (CT), THP for the loop of Henle (LOH), and AQP-1 for proximal tubules (PT). A/B: HD5 (green) was produced in the collecting tubules (red apical AQP-2 staining) of non-infected kidney tissue (A) and with pyelonephritis (B). Arrows indicate HD5 is produced in other nephron segments. C/D: HD5 (green) was expressed in the loops of Henle (red THP staining) in non-infected kidney tissue (C) and with pyelonephritis (D). E/F: HD5 (green) shows minimal production in the proximal tubules (red AQP-1 staining) of non-infected kidney tissue (E) and with pyelonephritis (F). Magnification 40×.
