title: Application of double staining technique and incident light fluorescence microscopy to immunofluorescence studies on renal diseases.
abstract: A method, by which the more precise localization of immunofluorescent deposits in the glomerulus is easily demonstrated with the fluorescence microscopy, was described. By means of this method, the deposits even in the Bowman's space could be identified, as well as the deposits in the subepithelial, subendothlial and mesangial regions. From this result, it was suggested that this method should be widely used for the immunofluorescence studies on human renal biopsied sections, in order to elucidate the relationship between the localization of deposits and renal diseases.
