HBsAg glomerular deposits in glomerulonephritis: Fact or artifact? To evaluate the role of the hepatitis B virus infection in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis, we screened 136 consecutive patients with various types of glomerular lesions for the presence of HBsAg either in serum or in kidney biopsy specimens by means of radioimmunoassay and direct immunofluorescence technique, respectively. In selected patients, we carried out the search for antiglobulin activity (AA) factor(s) within the renal tissue with a fluoresceinated aggregated human IgG preparation (FITC-IgGagg). Eleven HBsAg seropositive patients were found, none of whom showed HBsAg deposits within their kidney biopsy specimen. Five of the remaining 125 seronegative patients...
