The localization of S protein (Vitronectin) antigen was studied by indirect immunofluorescence and immunoelectron microscopy in normal adult human kidneys and in biopsy specimens from patients with a wide range of renal diseases, and compared with that of neoantigens of the C5b-9 terminal complement complex. S protein antigen was diffusely present in arteriolar perimyocytic matrices, the glomerular basement membrane and mesangial matrix, and tubular basement membranes in the cortex of normal and diseased kidneys without superimposable staining for C5b-9 neoantigens. Cell remnants embedded in normal and sclerotic extracellular matrices expressed S protein antigen and also stained for C5b-9 neoantigens. Several lines of evidence suggested that S protein present in connective matrices most likely represents S protein or C5b-9 complexes trapped from the circulation. Glomerular immune deposits and arteriolar hyalin deposits which contained C5b-9 neoantigens also contained S protein antigen in the same location. In a few specimens from patients with membranous nephritis stage I and IgA nephropathy, immune deposits contained neither detectable C5b-9 neoantigens nor S protein. The observed strong co-staining of immune deposits for S-protein and C5b-9 caution against the generalization that C5b-9 within glomerular immune deposits represent membrane-bound cytolytic complement complexes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
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.

D009401 Nephrosis Pathological processes of the KIDNEY without inflammatory or neoplastic components. Nephrosis may be a primary disorder or secondary complication of other diseases. It is characterized by the NEPHROTIC SYNDROME indicating the presence of PROTEINURIA and HYPOALBUMINEMIA with accompanying EDEMA. Nephroses

D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
