title: Tritiated thymidine uptake by glomerular cells in proliferative glomerulonephritis of the rat.
abstract: A small but significant number of tritiated thymidine labelled cells were found, by autoradiography, in the glomeruli of rats with Masugi nephritis or chronic serum sickness nephritis. There were no labelled glomerular cells in sections of untreated animals. The findings favour the contention that in proliferative glomerulonephritis, glomerular hypercellularity is due to infiltration of monocytic cells into the tufts where they divide.
