Scanning electron microscopy of podocytes of the renal glomerulus of rats with nephrotoxic serum nephritis. 1977

A Cioffi, and F Conte, and M Colombi, and G B di Belgiojoso, and A Sessa

Nephrotoxic serum nephritis was produced in rats by intraperitoneal injections of rabbit nephrotoxic serum. Heterologous and autologous phases of nephritis were demonstrated by immunofluorescence and ultrastructural studies. Scanning electron microscopy showed changes in the surface of the podocytes, swelling of the arm-like cytoplasmic processes, and disappearance of the pedicles. The podocyte alterations are discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007678 Kidney Glomerulus A cluster of convoluted capillaries beginning at each nephric tubule in the kidney and held together by connective tissue. Glomerulus, Kidney
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. Scanning Electron Microscopy,Electron Scanning Microscopy,Electron Microscopies, Scanning,Electron Microscopy, Scanning,Electron Scanning Microscopies,Microscopies, Electron Scanning,Microscopies, Scanning Electron,Microscopy, Electron Scanning,Microscopy, Scanning Electron,Scanning Electron Microscopies,Scanning Microscopies, Electron,Scanning Microscopy, Electron
