The influence of charge and size on antigen binding to the rat glomerular basement membrane (GBM) was investigated. Chemically cationized ovalbumin, human serum albumin (HSA), human immunoglobulin G (Hu IgG), horse spleen ferritin and human immunoglobulin M (Hu IgM) were injected into rats intravenously. By immunofluorescence significant glomerular binding occurred when the pI exceeded a threshold value of 8.5 to 9.5. At a given pI antigen binding increased with molecular size. Cationized Hu IgM bound only weakly to the glomerular capillary wall, presumably excluded due to size. Subepithelial immune deposits were formed only when antibody was injected subsequently. Detailed electron microscopic studies on in situ formation of immune complexes were performed using cationized horse spleen ferritin. Early on subendothelial deposits were very marked, giving way to subepithelial deposits with time. Under the conditions employed, it appears that deposits can be formed directly at the subepithelial locus but that complexes are also formed subendothelially, dissociating into free molecules or small complexes and then migrating through the lamina densa and reforming.
