The use of lectins identified with specific antibodies in lectin histochemistry of NZB/W F1 mouse kidney.

The affinity of Helix pomatia, peanut, Pisum sativum, soy bean, and wheat germ agglutinins to various nephron parts of NZB/W F1 mice was different and is assumed to be age dependent. The affinity of Pisum sativum agglutinin to basal membranes of small renal vessels increased with the age of NZB/W F1 mice. The wheat germ agglutinin bound to structures with alkaline phosphatase activity.
