Detection of C3bBb-stabilizing activity (C3 nephritic factor) in the serum from patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

Abstract:

:It is known that membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN), hypocomplementaemia and C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF) are closely related to each other, and the presence or absence of C3NeF in the serum is important for evaluating the nature of MPGN. However, some difficulties have been encountered in detecting this factor and therefore a new assay permitting the direct detection of C3NeF without purifying IgG from the patient's serum has been devised. Using this assay method, C3bBb-stabilizing activity was observed even in sera from MPGN patients who were non-hypocomplementaemic. Furthermore, among 98 cases with hypocomplementaemia. C3NeF was found to be absent in 66 cases.
