Prx1 marks a population of cells in mouse kidney. (A) Microscopic images of kidney sections of Prx1-Cre; tdTomato mice. (B) Immunofluorescent staining on Prx1-Cre; tdTomato mouse kidney sections revealed that Prx1 linage renal cells were negative for the tested markers of different renal cell types. (C) DT was injected into Prx1-Cre; iDTR mice daily for different periods of time as indicated to deplete Prx1 lineage cells. Moue kidneys were sectioned and stained with H-E. (D) Quantitative analysis of tubular cell numbers. N = 3. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.001 when compared to the control mice.
