Genetically controlled autologous immune complex glomerulonephritis in rats. 1975

B Stenglein, and G H Thoenes, and E Günther

A study was conducted on the disease susceptibility of inbred strains of rats to experimental autologous immune complex glomerulonephritis (AIC). Three strains representing two different H-1-haploytpes developed severe glomerulonephritis within 3 months in response to a single injection with equal doses of an autologous primary tubular epithelial fraction and complete Freund's adjuvant (Lewis, AS (H-11)) and Lew.BDV (H-1d)).By contrast, two strains of the H-1 haplotype H-1n (BN and Lew.BN) showed no proteinuria and no immunohistologic findings during that time. Hybrids of Lew.BN and Lewis, subjected to the same immunizing procedure, showed a later onset of the disease as compared to the responder parent. The possible relationship between responder status and the major histocampatibility complex is discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007105 Immune Complex Diseases Group of diseases mediated by the deposition of large soluble complexes of antigen and antibody with resultant damage to tissue. Besides SERUM SICKNESS and the ARTHUS REACTION, evidence supports a pathogenic role for immune complexes in many other IMMUNE SYSTEM DISEASES including GLOMERULONEPHRITIS, systemic lupus erythematosus (LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS, SYSTEMIC) and POLYARTERITIS NODOSA. Hypersensitivity, Type III,Type III Hypersensitivity,Disease, Immune Complex,Diseases, Immune Complex,Hypersensitivities, Type III,Immune Complex Disease,Type III Hypersensitivities
D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney
D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.
