Antibody localization in the glomerular basement membrane may precede in situ immune deposit formation in rat glomeruli. 1985

L Y Agodoa, and V J Gauthier, and M Mannik

The administration of cationized antibodies, specific to human serum albumin, into the renal artery of rats caused transient presence of IgG in glomeruli by immunofluorescence microscopy. Intravenous infusion of appropriate doses of antigen after the injection of cationized antibodies resulted in immune deposit formation in glomeruli that persisted through 96 hr. By electron microscopy, these deposits were located in the subepithelial area. The injection of large doses of antigen produced immune deposits which were present in glomeruli for only a few hours, presumably due to formation of only small-latticed immune complexes. The presented data indicate that cationic antibodies bound to the fixed negative charges of the glomerular basement membrane can interact with circulating antigen to form immune deposits in glomeruli. This mechanism may be important because anionic antigens have been shown to induce the synthesis of cationic antibodies.

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.
