Glomerular basement membrane—reactive antibody in anti-lymphocyte globulin

Abstract

Equine immunoglobulin was detected along the glomerular basement membrane of three human homograft recipients who had been treated with equine anti-lymphocyte globulin. Anti-lymphocyte globulins, given these patients, were obtained by immunization of horses with lymphocytes from human spleens and/or lymph nodes and contained glomerular basement membrane-reactive antibodies. Quantitative paired-label isotope experiments (in rats) demonstrated that 30-170 μg/ml of kidney-fixing antibodies were present in these preparations. The anti-lymphocyte globulins formed a line of identity with a sheep anti-human glomerular basement serum when reacted against collagenase-solubilized human glomerular basement membrane in double diffusion in agar. The renal fixation of these antibodies was blocked by absorption with human glomerular basement membrane, but not by buffy-coat leukocytes, indicating that they were directed specifically toward antigens in the basement membrane and were not cross-reacting anti-lymphocyte antibodies.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
