The expression of Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and CD133 in fetal kidneys. A and B: KIM-1 is not expressed in two fetal kidneys at 12 and 31 wk of development. C and D: the expression of KIM-1 was seen on the apical surface of proximal tubules in fetal kidneys at 16 and 23 wk of gestational age respectively. E and F: the expression of CD133 was seen on the surface of developing renal tubules without autolysis (week 21), whereas it was undetectable when autolysis was prominent (week 22). Scale bar = 50 µm (magnifications: ×200 in A–F).
