Albuminuria (μg/mg creatinine) | 31,342 ± 6,631 | 28,361 ± 9,962 | 29,661 ± 10,296 | 23,667 ± 5,514 | ||||

Transgene positive and littermate negative mice were injected intravenously with 1 or 2 mg NTS IgG. Urine was collected for 18 h for albumin and creatinine determinations, after which animals were killed and renal tissue was processed to determine glomerular C3 binding by IF microscopy. Data represent the mean ± SEM.
P < 0.02 by ANOVA.
