    T-cell activity against kidney antigens was assessed in patients with kidney diseases. Positive reactions to glomerular basement membrane antigen (GBMA) were observed in glomerulonephritis (GN) and pyelonephritis (PN) patients, suggesting diagnostic potential.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Immunology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Investigating immune responses in kidney diseases is crucial for understanding pathogenesis.
    • Specific T-cell activities against renal antigens may serve as diagnostic markers.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate T-cell reactivity against various kidney-related antigens in patients with glomerulonephritis (GN), pyelonephritis (PN), and hypernephroma.
    • To explore the diagnostic utility of T-cell responses using the electrophoretic mobility test.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrophoretic mobility test was employed to assess T-cell activity.
    • 58 patients (25 GN, 13 PN, 10 hypernephroma) and 10 healthy controls were tested.
    • Antigens included glomerular basement membrane antigen (GBMA), total renal antigen (TRA), hypernephroma antigen (HyA), HEP, and PPD.

    Main Results:

    • 21/25 GN patients and 2/13 PN patients showed positive reactions to GBMA.
    • No reactions to GBMA were observed in hypernephroma patients or controls.
    • All 10 hypernephroma patients exhibited sensitization to HyA, unlike other patient groups.

    Conclusions:

    • T-cell responses to GBMA may indicate GN or PN.
    • Sensitization to HyA is specific to hypernephroma patients.
    • These findings highlight the potential diagnostic value of T-cell based tests for kidney diseases.
