Autoradiographic Localization of [3H]Gentamicin in the Proximal Renal Tubules of Mice

Michael J Kuhar 1, Linda L Mak 2, Paul S Lietman 1,2
PMCID: PMC352612  PMID: 426500

Abstract

The site of localization of [3H]gentamicin within mouse kidney is shown to be the proximal renal tubule by coincidence of the radioactivity, as visualized by autoradiography, and the mucopolysaccharide-rich microvilli characteristic of proximal convoluted tubules, as visualized by histochemical staining.
