Imaging of Podocyte Foot Processes by Fluorescence Microscopy

Abstract excerpt

Visualizing podocyte foot processes requires electron microscopy, a technique that depends on special equipment, requires immunogold for colabeling, and does not take advantage of the growing number of in vivo fluorophores available. To address these limitations, we developed a genetic strategy to allow detailed visualization of single podocytes and their foot processes by conventional fluorescence microscopy. We...
