Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies in callitrichid renal glomeruli.
The "normal" mesangium of callitrichids exhibits certain features pointing to enhanced activity. Protrusions of the mesangial cellular cytoplasm (blebs) into the capillary lumen were observed very frequently as were electron-dense granules in mesangial matrix channels. Histochemical, alpha-actin expression was invariably observed in the mesangial cells of callitrichids.
