Crescentic glomerulonephritis in man, irrespective of etiology, indicates severe glomerular damage and carries a poor prognosis. The importance of the presence of macrophages in the development of glomerular crescents is well established, but the contribution of cellular proliferation in both macrophages and epithelial cells has received little attention. A model of crescentic glomerulonephritis was developed in mice, which is suitable for cell kinetic studies. Preliminary studies are described, involving immunization with rabbit anti-mouse glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antiserum after pre-immunization with rabbit IgG, both with and without treatment with a fibrinolytic inhibitor. Cyklokapron. Extensive glomerular damage, with crescent formation, was induced with 4 daily i.v. injections of rabbit anti-mouse GBM antiserum, after pre-immunization with rabbit IgG. The effect was dose dependant and was seen within 3 days of the last injection. Linear deposits of rabbit IgG were detected in all glomeruli by immunofluorescence, and both linear and granular deposits of mouse IgG were also found. There was a significant increase in glomerular size and in the numbers of cells in Bowman''s capsule (P < 0.01), and increases in mitotic indices to 0.8% were seen by day 13.
