An Animal Model Using Metallic Ions to Produce Autoimmune Nephritis

An Animal Model Using Metallic Ions to Produce Autoimmune Nephritis

Autoimmune nephritis triggered by metallic ions was assessed in a Long-Evans rat model. The parameters evaluated included antinuclear autoantibody production, kidney damage mediated by immune complexes detected by immunofluorescence, and renal function tested by retention of nitrogen waste products...
