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.
