Cellular and humoral mechanisms in the pathogenesis of tubulointerstitial nephritis. 1985

L Reisman, and M Suthanthiran, and J Friedman, and W W McCrory

Brown-Norway (BN) rats immunized with renal medulla from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats developed a renal lesion characterized by focal interstitial and perivascular mononuclear cell infiltrates without glomerular involvement. The cellular infiltrates were extracted from the affected kidneys and determined to consist of monocytes 64 +/- 4% (mean +/- S.D.) and T cells 2 +/- 9%. IgG antibodies directed at tubular basement membrane and tubular cell antigens were found in the affected kidneys and in circulation. Sera of immunized rats were used in in vitro studies to determine the presence of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). In the CDC there was cytolysis of SD kidney and spleen cells but not BN kidney cells. In the ADCC there was significant lysis of BN kidney cells as well as SD kidney cells. Antibodies have been raised in the immunized rats against major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens as well as against autologous tubular cells. The finding of monocytes bearing Fc receptors among the infiltrating cells, as well as antibodies that can function in an ADCC indicates the presence of a combined immune effector mechanism that might be operative in tubulointerstitial nephritis.

D007111 Immunity, Cellular Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.

D003176 Complement C3 A glycoprotein that is central in both the classical and the alternative pathway of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION. C3 can be cleaved into COMPLEMENT C3A and COMPLEMENT C3B, spontaneously at low level or by C3 CONVERTASE at high level. The smaller fragment C3a is an ANAPHYLATOXIN and mediator of local inflammatory process. The larger fragment C3b binds with C3 convertase to form C5 convertase.

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.
