IgG immune deposits in glomerular lesions of young New Zealand Black mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
IgG immune deposits in glomerular lesions were found in 62% of 4-week-old mice born from anti-DNA antibody positive mothers but not in the mice born from anti-DNA antibody negative ones. In the former mice anti-DNA antibody producing cells could not be detected in spite of the presence of antibody. These results indicate that maternal anti-DNA antibody might be responsible for the development of glomerular lesions in the offsprings. Renal lesions, however, was not observed in the 2- to 3-month-old mice indicating that permanent lesions were not induced by this transient maternal antibody.

Reversal of established lupus nephritis and prolonged survival of New Zealand black x New Zealand white mice treated with the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan.
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disorder that predominantly affects women of childbearing age. Lupus-associated glomerulonephritis is a major cause of mortality in these patients. Current treatment protocols for systemic lupus erythematosus include cyclophosphamide, prednisolone, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil. However, in mice none of these agents alone or in comb...
متن کاملAutoimmune alterations induced by the New Zealand Black Lbw2 locus in BWF1 mice.
The New Zealand Black (NZB) Lbw2 locus (lupus NZB x New Zealand White (NZW) 2 locus) was previously linked to mortality and glomerulonephritis, but not to IgG autoantibodies, suggesting that it played a role in a later disease stage. To define its contribution, (NZB x NZW)F1 hybrids (BWF1) containing two, one, or no copies of this locus were generated. Lack of the NZB Lbw2 indeed reduced mortal...
متن کاملProliferative Glomerulonephritis with Monoclonal IgG Deposits Associated with Membrano-Proliferative Features: Case Report
Proliferative glomerulonephritis with monoclonal IgG deposits (PGNMID) is a recently described entity. It is featured by glomerular nonorganized monoclonal immunoglobulin G deposits. Monoclonal IgG deposits are associated with glomerular proliferative lesions, mimicking different types of immune-complex glomerulonephritis. We report two classic cases of PGNMID which fulfilled all criteria of th...

Several strains of mice, including MRL/MpJ mice homozygous for the Fas mutant lpr gene (MRL/lpr mice), F(1) hybrids of New Zealand Black and New Zealand White mice, and BXSB/MpJ mice carrying a Y-linked autoimmune acceleration gene, spontaneously develop immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis. The involvement of the envelope glycoprotein gp70 of an endogenous xenotropic virus in the formati...

Crescentic glomerulonephritis is characterized by extracapillary proliferation resulting from severe inflammatory injury of various aetiologies. It is usually rapidly progressive. Meanwhile, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody-mediated glomerular lesions induce crescentic glomerulonephritis. When associated with pulmonary haemorrhage, it is given the eponym 'Goodpasture's syndrome'...
