The role of cell-mediated immunity in glomerular injury has been extensively studied, but the precise mechanism remains obscure. This study was undertaken to determine whether the homologous glomerular basement membrane (GBM) combined heterogeneous anti-GBM antibody would induce cell-mediated immunity. Wistar-Kyoto rats were divided into three groups; group I rats were immunized with homologous GBM antigen that was derived from Masugi nephritis and emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA); group II rats were immunized with homologous GBM antigen that was derived from normal rats and emulsified in CFA; group III rats were immunized with CFA only. Group I rats demonstrated proteinuria on days 7 and 10 after immunization. Histologically, mesangial cell proliferation and cell infiltration were observed in the glomeruli. No changes in tubulointerstitial tissue. CD4-positive cells, CD8-positive cells and macrophages were found in the glomeruli, and mononuclear cells were found in the glomerular capillary lumen. Group II and Group III rats demonstrated no proteinuria and no histological changes. These findings indicated that the altered GBM obtained antigenicity and induced cell-mediated immunity in the glomeruli.

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.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D005921 Glomerulonephritis Inflammation of the renal glomeruli (KIDNEY GLOMERULUS) that can be classified by the type of glomerular injuries including antibody deposition, complement activation, cellular proliferation, and glomerulosclerosis. These structural and functional abnormalities usually lead to HEMATURIA; PROTEINURIA; HYPERTENSION; and RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Bright Disease,Kidney Scarring,Glomerulonephritides,Scarring, Kidney
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001485 Basement Membrane A darkly stained mat-like EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (ECM) that separates cell layers, such as EPITHELIUM from ENDOTHELIUM or a layer of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. The ECM layer that supports an overlying EPITHELIUM or ENDOTHELIUM is called basal lamina. Basement membrane (BM) can be formed by the fusion of either two adjacent basal laminae or a basal lamina with an adjacent reticular lamina of connective tissue. BM, composed mainly of TYPE IV COLLAGEN; glycoprotein LAMININ; and PROTEOGLYCAN, provides barriers as well as channels between interacting cell layers.
