AB The role of T cell-mediated immunity in the early phase of nephrotoxic
serum nephritis (NTN) was examined by transfer of pan T, CD8-positive,
and CD4-positive cells. The disease was induced by transferring rabbit
gamma-globulin (RGG)-sensitized T cells to nude (rnu/rnu) rats
pretreated with a subnephritogenic dose (a dose insufficient to cause
proteinuria) of nephrotoxic serum. Mild but abnormal proteinuria was
detected, and macrophages showed significant accumulation in glomeruli.
Transfer of not only RGG-sensitized CD4-positive cells but also
CD8-positive cells separated by the T cell markers OX8 and OX38 using
the panning method caused an increased accumulation of macrophages in
isolated glomeruli. No host antibody against rabbit immunoglobulins was
demonstrated either in glomeruli by immunofluorescence or sera by ELISA
in the early disease phase. These findings support a pathological role
of T cells in initiation of glomerular injury in NTN.
