The renal collecting duct consists of intercalated cells (ICs) and principal cells (PCs). We have previously demonstrated that collecting ducts have a role in the innate immune defense of the kidney. Transcriptomics is an important tool used to enhance systems-level understanding of cell biology. However, transcriptomics performed on whole kidneys provides limited insight of collecting duct cell gene expression, because these cells comprise a small fraction of total kidney cells. Recently we gen ...[more]
