Histological Labeling of the Col4A3-/- Kidney

QPS Neuropharmacology

Multi-Channel Imaging to Visualize Renal Inflammation in an Alport Disease Mouse Model

While we are specialists for neuronal tissue, we also routinely process tissue of peripheral organs:
Kidney of the Alport syndrome mouse model Col4A3-/- was labeled for macrophages and leukocytes (Fig.1) as well as T-lymphocytes and macrophages (Fig.2), followed by automated slide scanning.
