title: Immunofluorescent localization of renin in mouse submaxillary gland and kidney.
abstract: An antibody prepared against purified submaxillary renin was used to determine the site of renin concentration in male mice using immunofluorescent localization. The results provide direct evidence that the granular tubules of the submaxillary glands are the source of submaxillary renin. The antibody against submaxillary renin cross-reacts with kidney renin as evidenced by immunofluorescent localization in the juxtaglomerular apparatus of mouse kidney.
