Abstract:The capacity of intrarenal injections of bovine γ-globulin (BGG) to elicit hypersensitivity reactions was studied in guinea pigs immunized with DNP BGG or BGG immune complexes in CFA or in rats immunized with BGG in CFA. In guinea pigs it was found that heat-aggregated BGG elicited inflammatory reactions in the renal cortex, whereas soluble BGG did not. In rats only aggregated BGG was used, and this was found to be effective. The reactions were characterized by a predominantly mononuclear cell infiltrate. Tran… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
