Mucins in the Epithelium of Renal Collecting Tubules

Nature volume 176, pages 741–742 (1955)Cite this article

Abstract

As an incidental finding to a study of the staining of elastic tissue carried out by one of us1, the luminal borders of the epithelium of the collecting tubule in the kidney of the guinea pig were observed to stain intensely by Gomori's aldehyde–fuchsin method2 (Fig. 1). We have been unable to find in the literature any previous report of selective staining of the collecting system in the mammalian kidney.
