Ultrastructural immunocytochemical localization of carbonic anhydrase. Presence in intercalated cells of the rat collecting tubule

Histochemistry. 1982;75(2):209-13. doi: 10.1007/BF00496012.

Abstract

Specific antibodies against human erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase isozyme C were used to determine the ultrastructural localization of this enzyme in the collecting ducts of rat kidney. Using a pre-embedding labeling technique, carbonic anhydrase C was found in the cytoplasm of intercalated cells, whereas the principal cells were negative.
