Abstract
Experimental glomerulonephritis (EGN) was produced in Sprague-Dawley rats with a single intradermal injection of a renal tubular fraction called Fx1A. Presence of disease was confirmed by proteinuria and by light and electron microscopic changes. This antigen and also the non-nephritogenic antigen, Fx1B, were used to study cellular immunity in nephritic and three groups of control rats.
