'''Optimized conditions:''' Very clean antibody, very stable, can be reused. Development in BCIP/NBT usually takes 30 minutes, in red, about 60 minutes. Works well in immunofluorescense.  As the pronephros is only covered by a thin transparent epidermis it is not necessary to clear stained embryos. In cleared embryos both pronephroi are often in view, one in focus and one blurred, and this can make photography difficult see for example stage 32 sample above.

'''Other species:''' works on other anurans (Bombina), and also on axolotls when formalin plus 10% DMSO is used as the fixative, but it isn't nearly as clean as with Xenopus or Bombina. This is probably just a protocol problem. Reported to work on zebrafish.
'''Other species:''' Xenopus only
