Kir7.1-HA channel is located in the basolateral membrane of the nasopharyngeal respiratory epithelium. The immunohistochemically analysis from Kir7.1-HA (left) and Kir7.1-WT (right) newborn mice tissue was performed with the rabbit anti-HA antibody (n = 4). In the (middle) and (bottom) panels amplifications of marked regions (∗) and (#) are shown. Counterstaining was performed with hematoxylin. Scale bar represents 10 μm. ns, nasal septum; nc, nasal cavity; np, nasopharynx; T, tongue.
