ABSTRACT
Utilizing dextrans of restricted sizes (10,000, 70,000, 500,000 daltons), modified with regard to charge (neutral, polycationic, polyanionic) and an anti-dextran murine IgA myeloma, W3129, the authors have examined a model that may be used in the study of the combined effect of size and charge on renal deposition of immune complexes. Polycationic DEAE dextran complexes, using the 10,000 dalton antigen, showed a mesangiocapillary pattern of deposition. The other antigens showed focal to diffuse mesangial localization of varying degree. This indicates the potential usefulness of this system in examining the factors important in glomerular immune injury. The relevance to other observations, importance of polysaccharide antigens, and role in circulating versus in situ or "planted" immune complex models are considered.
