From: In vivo imaging of kidney glomeruli transplanted into the anterior chamber of the mouse eye
Examples of transplanted glomeruli with complete or partial reperfusion.
Shown are maximum projections of z-stacks acquired by confocal laser scanning microscopy. (a) Example of an engrafted glomerulus that became entirely reperfused. (b) Example of a glomerulus where only one capillary loop became reperfused. (c) Group of three transplanted glomeruli of which only one became perfused. Note that podocytes survived (as demonstrated by continuous expression of CFP under the control of the NPHS1 promoter) in two glomeruli despite the lack of revascularization (lower left and upper right glomerulus). Scale bars, 10 μm.
