The serology of autologous immune complex nephritis in the rat

A Z Barabas, C J Elson, D M Weir
PMCID: PMC1578981  PMID: 5784640

Abstract

The serological response has been studied in rats developing autoimmune complex nephritis, following injection of chemically modified kidney antigen. The results suggest that a change takes place from IgM to both IgM and IgG anti-kidney antibodies. This response can be distinguished from the naturally occurring IgM antitissue antibodies.
