Structurally and functionally distinct populations of intercalated cells have been described in
the collecting duct of both rat and rabbit. However, little is known about these cells in the
mouse kidney. The study presented here examines ultrastructural and immunological
characteristics of different types of intercalated cells in the mouse. Kidneys of two strains of
normal female mice, C57BL/6 and IBR, were preserved by in vivo perfusion with 1%
glutaraldehyde or paraformaldehyde-picric acid fixatives and processed for morphological …
