| Abstract: | Changes in the interferon reaction of leukocytes, bactericidal property of the blood serum against the E. coli and streptococcus, the activity of beta-lysins in experimental nephrotoxic glomerulonephritis reproducible with the aid of heterogenous nephrotoxic serum in mongrel male rats were studied. This model permitted to trace the changes in the nonspecific protection mechanisms depending on the pathological process in the kidneys. In nephrotoxic glomerulonephritis the most pronounced changes were seen in the interferon reaction of leukocytes: it decreased up to 90% in comparison with the normal depending on the duration of the disease. In difference from this the changes in the anti-bacterial immunity indices were observed at the period of marked nephrotic process activity. |
