Differential clearance of free fetuin-A protein, CPM and CPP. Mice were injected with 100 μg (900 μg total protein) CPM-associated Alexa488 (green) or Alexa546-labeled fetuin-A (red). Control mice were injected with Alexa488- and Alexa546-labeled free fetuin-A monomer, or with 100 μg (total protein content) Alexa488/546-labeled CPP-1 and CPP-2. Mice were sacrificed 10 min after injection and counterstained (DAPI, blue) and kidney (A–C) and liver (D,E) frozen sections were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy. CPM were readily detected in kidney (B) and liver (E), while CPP-1 and CPP-2 were detectable in liver (F) but not in kidney (C). Free fetuin-A monomer was not detected in kidney or in liver (A,D). Scale bar: 75 μm.
