Immunofluorescent localization of Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein in human kidney.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fluorescein-labelled antiserum to human Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein applied to frozen human kidney sections gave strong specific labelling, mainly of cells of tubules in the outer medulla. By comparison with adjacent serial sections stained for alkaline phosphatase and succinic dehydrogenase, it is suggested that material reacting immunologically as Tamm-Horsfall muco-protein is found particularly in the cells of the ascending limb of the loop of Henle and the macula densa segment of the distal tubule.

Ultracentrifugation studies of a urinary mucoprotein which reacts with various viruses.
The isolation from normal human urine of a highly viscous, electrophoretically homogeneous mucoprotein has been described previously (l-3). This substance combines with influenza, mumps, and Newcastle disease viruses and is altered enzymatically by them (l-6). This alteration in the mucoprotein results in loss of the capacity to combine with viruses and in reduction of the electrophoretic mobil...
متن کاملAn Electrophoretic Examination of a Urinary Mucoprotein Which Reacts with Various Viruses
A mucoprotein isolated from human urine and possessing the capacity to react with a number of viruses is electrophoretically homogeneous at pH 6.8 and 8.6. After treatment with influenza virus and elimination of its biological activity, the substance remains homogeneous and its electrophoretic mobility is decreased by approximately 20 per cent.
متن کاملStudy of childhood renal tumours using a monoclonal antibody to Tamm-Horsfall protein.
A monoclonal antibody to Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein was used for the immuno-localization of Tamm-Horsfall protein in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections of childhood renal tumours, normal children's kidneys, and human fetal kidneys. The procedure was a dinitrophenyl hapten sandwich staining method. The antibody, diluted 1/100,000, gave a very strong and specific staining of the lo...
متن کاملThe nature of urinary casts.
The composition of hyaline casts has been investigated. The major constituent appears to be the urinary mucoprotein described by Tamm and Horsfall. Small amounts only of serum proteins are present. Neither the amounts excreted nor the concentration of Tamm-Horsfall protein appeared to determine the rate of cast formation. The only invariable association of hyaline cast formation was with the pr...
متن کاملSpecific interaction of human Tamm-Horsfall gylcoprotein with leucoagglutinin, a lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean).
Human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein inhibits lymphocyte transformation induced by leucoagglutinin and haemagglutinin from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean). The glycoprotein interacts with the two lectins, giving insoluble precipitates. The interaction with leucoagglutinin is highly specific, and the shape of the precipitin curve is that of an antigen-antibody reaction; precipitation is specifi...
