Immunostaining for podoplanin on mouse kidney and lung tissue. In the glomerulus of the renal cortex, the merged image indicates that the PMab-1-reacting region on the glomerular capillary (GA) (green) coincides with the Mab-8.1.1-reacting region (red). The PMab-1 and Mab-8.1.1 did not react to uriniferous tubules (UT). In the lung, the merged image indicates that the pulmonary pleura (PP) and a part of the pulmonary alveoli (PA) were immunostained by PMab-1 (green). The immunoreaction of Mab-8.1.1 (red) to alveolar cells was stronger than PMab-1 and the Mab-8.1.1 specificity was broader comparing with PMab-1. Nuclei were counterstained using DAPI. Bar=20 µm.
