Vital Staining of the Granulated Juxtaglomerular Cells in the Mouse Kidney

Abstract

THE first reports on vital staining of the granulated cells of the juxtaglomerular system (JG) came from Japanese research workers. Sugiyama1 used neutral red intravitally to demonstrate these cells in the kidney of the mouse. Harada2 used neutral red and trypan-blue intraperitoneally; paraffin-embedded sections of the kidney were examined after treatment with a bichromate containing fixative. Of the two dyes studied, only the neutral red stained the JG cells.
