Abstract:
To examine whether expression of human renin in the transgenic mouse kidney is regulated in a cell-specific manner, we have characterized monoclonal antibodies against human renin and determined the renin-production site by immunohistochemistry. By using a monoclonal antibody specific for human renin, A6-11-6, we demonstrated that human renin in the transgenic mouse kidney is localized to the juxtaglomerular cells of afferent arterioles.
