Abstract
Fluorescein-labeled immunoglobulin G (IgG) fractions of serum from patients with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis stained parts of the glomerular basement membrane and mesangium of kidney tissue obtained from the same patients during the early phase of the disease. Renal tissue obtained from normal individuals and from patients with other kidney diseases failed to stain with these IgG fractions. Preabsorption of the serum fractions with various freezethawed bacteria demonstrated that only certain group A streptococci abolished the staining capacity. Fractionation of the streptococci into cellular constituents indicated that it was predominantly the plasma membrane fraction which blocked the immune staining. Spectrofluorometry using alkali-solubilized renal tissue confirmed these observations in a quantitative manner. By sucrose density-gradient ultracentrifugation of the plasma membrane two possible antigens were isolated. One was soluble in phosphate-buffered saline and the other was insoluble. The soluble component was a lipoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 120,000.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
