Figure Caption

Fig. 6 Renal clearance and PCT endocytosis are abrogated in prk_CI/ζ deficient embryos. Embryos were injected with 40-kDa dextran–FITC at 48 hpf, and imaged at 72, 84, and 96 hpf. Control wild-type embryos displayed renal clearance by diminution of the net fluorescent signal intensity over time, as well as dextran–FITC internalization throughout the PCT (white arrows) during its progressive morphogenesis. Doubleprk_CI/ζ morphants displayed severe fluid accumulation, notably pericardial edema that remained strongly positive for the dextran–FITC conjugate label, and the PCT was not labeled by dextran endocytosis (left panels, lateral views; right panels, dorsal views, with exception of bottom right which shows a lateral/dorsal angled view).
