  • Title: Immunoelectron microscopic localization of fibronectin and complement to 'dense bodies' in Bowman's capsule and the glomerular basement membrane in membranous nephropathy.
    Author: Slater M.
    Journal: Nephron; 1991; 58(4):483-4. PubMed ID: 1922617.
    Abstract:
    This study describes dense bodies seen in Bowman's capsule and the glomerular basement membrane in biopsies of membranous glomerulonephritis. Within these bodies, silver-enhanced immunogold labelling demonstrated the presence of fibronectin and the complement component C3b. These results suggests that dense bodies may play a role in opsonization and the immune process in membranous glomerulonephritis.
