An immunofluorescence study of renal lesions in diabetes mellitus.

Percutaneous renal biopsies were performed in 30 diabetic patients who presented with proteinuria. Tissues were studied for evidence of an immune lesion using immunofluorescence techniques. No consistent pattern of binding of FITC labelled polyvalent, monospecific IgG, IgA, IgM and labelled bovine insulin antisera in various diabetic renal lesions could be demonstrated. The binding of labelled ...
