Morphological, histochemical and immunohistochemical studies of polar fox kidney
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphology and intermediate filaments cytokeratin, desmin and vimentin expression in the kidneys of the polar fox ( Alopex lagopus ). Routine morphological, histochemical and immunohistochemical techniques of examinations of the kidneys of adult male...
