Abstract
Infiltrating cells were analysed in renal biopsy tissue obtained from a 15-year-old girl with acute interstitial nephritis and uveitis using monoclonal antibodies specific for mononuclear cell surface markers. The interstitial infiltrates consisted mainly of T cells and monocytes/macrophages. A considerable proportion of the infiltrating cells were identified by a monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-2 receptor, indicating that a majority of those immune cells are activated. This observation documents the participation of cell-mediated immune injury in interstitial nephritis associated with uveitis.Entities:
