Glomerulonephritis with γ- and β1C-Globulin Deposits Induced in Rats by Mercuric Chloride

Jean Bariety, Philippe Druet, François Laliberte, Catherine Sapin
PMCID: PMC2047433  PMID: 4109193

Abstract

Repeated subcutaneous injections of 0.15 or 0.25 mg/100 g of body weight of HgCl2 may induce a membranous glomerulonephritis in rats. This glomerulonephritis with subepithelial deposits is similar, by electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry, to experimental chronic glomerulonephritis caused by immune complexes and to the human membranous glomerulonephritis.
