NEPHRITOGENIC ACTIVITY OF IgA-BINDING STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES: AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF IgA GLOMERULONEPHRITIS

The aim of present study was to arrange an experimental rabbit model for IgA-nephropathy. To this purpose, an approach was attempted which was previously successfully applied in rabbits, aiming for induction of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN). To induce the nephropathy, we used two Stre...
