[Semeiotic significance of the clinical use of methods of determining serum immunocomplexes in human glomerulonephritis].

The application of tests for the determination of serum immune complexes in nephrology has supplied fresh pathogenetic and symptomatological information. An account is given of results obtained in primary and secondary glomerulonephritis using four methods; the solid-phase Clq test, the polyethylene glycol precipitation test, the immunofluorescence on polymorphonucleates tests, and the solid-phase conglutinins test (with anti-IgA antibodies). The results take on a symptomatological meaning in many classes of human glomerulonephritis, both in the differentiation of primary forms and those secondary to systemic diseases, and in prognosis. A critical review is made of the data obtained in a personal series in the light of a long-term follow-up. The limits and specificity of each test are also discussed.

Evidence for the involvement of the IgE-basophil-mastocyte system in human acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Several findings reveal the involvement of the IgE-basophil-mastocyte-platelet-activating-factor (PAF) system in human acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. In the acute phases of the disease there is a transient, marked reduction in the circulating metachromatically staining basophils, indicating an in vivo basophil degranulation. The blood reservoirs of PAF are depleted. The number of metachromatic mastocytes in renal biopsy samples was very low and morphological aspects of degranulation were present. In vitro, we demonstrated basophil degranulation and PAF release in presence of exogenous streptococcal Ags after recovery. These findings suggest that the IgE-basophil-mastocyte-PAF system may play a role in human pathology, as has been shown in immune complex (Ic) deposition in acute serum sickness in rabbits.
