The immunofluorescent staining of representative kidney sections showed a significantly higher expression of Gal-3 in renal tubules affected by ATN in CIS Gal-3 wild-type mice (Figure 3B) when compared with those of Gal-3 wild-type sham control mice (Figure 3A). This evidence concerns the gene LGALS3 and oculocutaneous albinism type 1.
