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