In order to study T-cell function related to the production of autoimmune nephropathy, we immunized random-bred mice, homozygous athymic nude (nu/nu) mice and heterozygous hairy (nu/+) mice with human glomeruli contained in Freund's complete adjuvant. The random-bred and heterozygous hairy mice developed circulating antibodies to mouse and human kidney and an autoimmune glomerulotubular nephropathy, while the nude mice, even after prolonged immunization, developed neither antibodies nor nephropathy. We therefore concluded that the development of autoimmune glomerulotubular nephropathy in mice requires the presence of functioning T-cells.
为了研究与自身免疫性肾病产生相关的T细胞功能,我们用弗氏完全佐剂包被的人肾小球免疫随机繁殖小鼠、纯合无胸腺裸鼠(nu/nu)和杂合有毛小鼠(nu/+)。随机繁殖小鼠和杂合有毛小鼠产生了针对小鼠和人肾脏的循环抗体以及一种自身免疫性肾小球肾小管肾病,而裸鼠即使经过长时间免疫,既未产生抗体也未出现肾病。因此,我们得出结论,小鼠自身免疫性肾小球肾小管肾病的发生需要有功能的T细胞存在。
