title: Glomerulonephritis in malignant extra-renal neoplasms. Experimental study on mice using the method of immunofluorescence.
abstract: Histologic and immunofluorescence studies were done in the murine kidneys (strain C3HAvy) suffering a spontaneous cancer of the liver. Proliferative glomerulonephritis has been found in 17 animals and memranproliferative glomerulonephritis with "wire loop" appearance in 6 animals. The glomeruli of all animals presented immune complex deposition in the mesangium and along the glomerular basement membrane. Furthermore, heavy intensity of IgG complex deposition was observed in animals with membranproliferative glomerulonephritis. The latter animals had developed a poorly differentiated liver cancer.
