Evidence suggesting persistence of nephritogenic immunopathologic mechanisms in patients receiving renal allografts. 1973

J J McPhaul, and A L Thompson, and R E Lordon, and C Klebanoff, and A B Cosimi, and R DeLemos, and R B Smith

Direct immunofluorescent (IF) examinations and elutions were performed on native kidneys and allografts of 24 patients undergoing renal transplantation. Immunoglobulins (Ig) were detected by IF on native kidneys of 12 of the 24; 11 of the 12 later had Ig localized to allograft glomeruli by direct IF. In addition, three other patients also developed Ig deposition on allograft glomeruli, although direct IF of native kidneys was negative. Elution studies indicated: (a) that linear Ig deposition on allograft glomeruli was the result of antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies, (b) Ig localizing to allograft glomeruli in many of these patients was the result of persistent immunopathogenetic mechanisms existing at the time of allograft placement, and (c) occasionally, kidneys negative for Ig localization by direct IF contain elutable nephritogenic antibodies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
