Abstract
- Interstitial nephritis in rats immunized with heterologous tubular basement membrane. Interstitial nephritis developed in Brown Norway (BN) and Lewis/BN (L/BN) F 1 hybrid rats within two weeks after immunization with bovine cortical tubular basement membrane (TBM) in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or pertussis adjuvant (PA). The histologic lesion began as a polymorphonuclear leukocyte infiltrate and quickly progressed to a primarily mononuclear cell infiltrate with tubular atrophy and tubular epithelial cell degeneration, interstitial and periglomerular fibrosis, and only minimal glomerular abnormalities. It was most severe in BN rats immunized with bovine TBM in PA. Direct immunofluorescence of kidneys revealed linear deposits of IgG along TBM of all proximal tubules and 10 to 20% of distal tubules, and occasionally along the Bowman's capsule. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed anti-TBM antibody in serum and renal eluates. There were no anti-GBM antibodies. Only minor abnormalities of renal function were detected. None of ten additional rat strains similarly immunized developed nephritis. Two strains, F344 and August, did not produce antibody in response to immunization; three strains, Lewis, Wistar-Furth (W/F) and Maxx, developed antibodies but did not possess an antigen on their TBM cross-reactive with the immunizing bovine TBM; and five strains, ACI, Buffalo, Wistar, W/F (fz) and DA, had only small quantities of anti-TBM antibody deposited in their kidneys and did not develop nephritis. Nephrite interstitielle chez des rats immunises avec de la membrane basale tubulaire heterologue. Une nephrite interstitielle se developpe chez les rats Brown Norway (BN) et les hybrides Lewis/BN (L/BN) F 1 en deux semaines apres l'immunisation avec de la membrane basale tubulaire corticale bovine (TBM) dans de l'adjuvant de Freund complet (CFA) ou de l'adjuvant de pertussis (PA). Les lesions histologiques commencent par une infiltration de polynucleaires et deviennent rapidement un infiltrat de cellules mononuclees associe a une atrophie tubulaire avec une degenerescence des cellules epitheliales tubulaires, une fibrose interstitielle et periglomerulaire et des anomalies glomerulaires minimes. Ces images sont plus severes chez les rats BN immunises avec la TBM bovine dans le PA. L'immunofluorescence directe des reins montre des depots lineaires d'IgG le long des TBM de tous les tubes proximaux et de 10 a 20% des tubes distaux et parfois le long de la capsule de Bowman. L'immunofluorescence indirect revele des anticorps anti-TBM dans le serum et les eluats de rein. Il n'y a pas d'anticorps anti-GBM. Seules des anomalies mineures de la fonction renale sont observees. Aucune des dix autres souches de rats immunises n'a developpe de nephrite. Deux souches, F344 et August, n'ont pas produit d'anticorps en reponse a l'immunisation; trois souches, Lewis, Wistar-Furth (W/F) et Maxx, ont produit des anticorps mais n'avaient pas d'antigenes sur leurs TBM aui reagissent avec la TBM bovine immunisante; cinq souches, ACI, Buffalo, Wistar, W/F (fz) et DA, avaient seulement de petites quantites d'anticorps anti TBM deposees sur leurs reins ent n'ont pas developpe de nephrite.
