Figure 3

Immunofluorescence staining with anti-Rat IgG. (a) Healthy controls showed absence of staining. Original magnification ×400. (b) Passive Heymann Nephritis; glomeruli showed intense (3+) granular and irregular fluorescence along the capillary walls (×400). (c) Passive Heymann Nephritis after rapamycin administration; staining was significantly attenuated (1+ to 2+) in almost all glomeruli (×400).
