  • Title: The immunocytochemical demonstration of renin in a juxtaglomerular cell tumour by light and electron microscopy.
    Author: Lindop GB, Stewart JA, Downie TT.
    Journal: Histopathology; 1983 May; 7(3):421-31. PubMed ID: 6347863.
    Abstract:
    This is a study of a juxtaglomerular cell tumour using an antibody to pure human renin and the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. We report the distribution of immunoreactive renin in the tumour visualized by light microscopy of both paraffin and resin embedded tissue sections. We found that the cells which contained most renin granules were endocrine-like cells in the parenchyma of the tumour. Ultrastructural immunocytochemistry showed that immunoreactive renin was present not only in crystalline protogranules and in round membrane bound granules, but also in intermediate forms.
