Bovine-serum-albumin coated colloidal gold particles were injected intravenously into healthy, adult domestic ducks. The fate of these tracer particles was followed in a time-sequence up to 4.5 days in the renal glomerular mesangium.sbd.distal tubule macula densa junction with transmission electron microscopy. The bulk of particle aggregates is ''trapped'' in the mesangial channel system, phagocyted by mesangial cells, exocyted back into the mesangial channels, transported extracellularily towards the vasular hilus, rephagocyted by macula densa cells and expelled into the tubular lumen. This process requires about nineteen hours in the experimental model chosen, although it continues to take place to a much lower extent even 4-5 days after administration of the tracer. This mode of macromolecular excretion may be of interest in connection with the pathogenesis of several forms of glomerulonephritis.
