Immunofluorescent staining for type III collagen in OLETF and LETO rat glomeruli. The accumulation of type III collagen was evident in the mesangial areas in 45-week-old OLETF rats (B), but much less evident in 15-week-old OLETF (A) and 45-week-old LETO (C) rats. A negative control section of a 45-week-old OLETF rat, stained with non-immune rabbit serum, followed by FITC-labeled secondary antibodies, is shown in (D). Original magnifications were times400.
