The role of immune complexes formed in situ has been most extensively studied in the Heymann nephritis model in the rat, a human counterpart of membranous nephropathy (MN). This is a non-proliferative form of GN in which the humoral, Th2 responses play an important role. In human idiopathic MN, an increase in the percentage of IL-4 (Masutani et al. 2004) and IL-10 (Hirayama et al. 2002) was observed in peripheral blood T cells, which correlated with the amount of proteinuria. Following induction of the disease, antibodies against gp330, megalin (Cavallo 1994; Ronco and Debiec 2005), are deposited at the subepithelial space of the glomerulus and trigger podocyte injury. | BIOMECHANICS IN APPLICATIONS Edited by Václav Klika INTECHWEB.ORG Biomechanics in Applications Edited by Václav Klika Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2011 InTech All chapters are Open Access articles distributed under the Creative Commons Non Commercial Share Alike Attribution 3.0 license which permits to copy distribute transmit and adapt the work in any medium so long as the original work is properly cited.
