Abstract

Antibodies to glomerular basement membrane (GBM) of the rat could be fractionated according to their avidity by elution from trypsin-digested GBM (bound to Sepharose) with increasing concentrations of KSCN. The percentage of kidney-fixing antibody in each fraction and the degree of proteinuria induced as determined 24 h after injection increased with the avidity of the antibody fraction when equal doses were administered.
