[Immunologic diagnosis of glomerulonephritis by basement membrane antibodies]

In the immunological diagnostics of glomerulonephritis by basement membrane antibodies highly sensitive demonstration methods for circulating antibodies increasingly gain significance for judgements of courses. The results which were achieved by a new non-competitive ELISA using chimaera antibodies in comparison to the indirect immunofluorescence confirm the advantages of the enzyme immunoassay with regard to its higher sensitiveness.
