Micrographs of graft nephrectomy (40x). Stained, respectively, with Jones’ Methenamine (a), PAS (b), Hematoxylin and Eosin (c), and indirect peroxidase immunostaining for C4d (d). In all sections, fibrin thrombi adhered to the endothelium of the glomeruli ((a) and (c)) and the arteriolar walls (b) can be observed. C4d (d) was negative. All photomicrographs are in 40x.
