Fig 9. Kidney histology of control and 213Bi-BSA injected mice.
Comparison between kidneys of (A, D, G) control animals, (B, E, H) kidneys of mice 35 weeks after injection of 3.7 MBq of 213Bi-BSA, (C and I) 26 weeks after injection of 11.1 MBq of 213Bi-BSA and (F) 35 weeks after injection of 7.4 MBq of 213Bi-BSA. Control kidneys, Haematoxylin-Eosin-Saffron (A), Periodic Acid Schiff (D), and Masson’s Trichrome (G). Kidneys of mice injected with 3.7 MBq 213Bi-BSA do not show any significant histological injury (B (HES), E (PAS) and H (MT)). Kidneys of mice injected with 11.1 or 7.4 MBq 213Bi-BSA show basophilic tubules, karyomegaly and cytomegaly (C, arrow) (HES), proteinaceous casts (F, arrow), (PAS), and glomerulosclerosis (I, arrow) (MT) (bar = 100 μm).
