Molecular Characterization and Expression of α-Globin and β-Globin Genes in the Euryhaline Flounder (Platichthys flesus)
Figure 6
Immunocytochemistry for α-globin and β-globin in kidney of FW- and SW-adapted flounder. The immunoreactivity of α1-globin was located in both of external contour of tubules and haematopoietic stroma, whereas β-globin was localised only in haematopoietic stroma in FW-adapted fish kidney. The haematopoietic stroma with abundant globins is indicated by solid arrows. PT: proximal tubule.
