Directions For Use:


This package contains sufficient antibody to induce disease in at least 25 rats when used according to the instructions below. Please read carefully before starting the procedure.

Injection of anti-Fx1A serum:  Anesthetize rats and inject 0.5 ml/100 gm body weight of anti-Fx1A antibody into a tail vein over a 15 second period (Larger volumes are required for heavier rats). Production of disease is dose dependent. For more disease inject more volume of antibody. Doses over 1.5 ml/rat are not recommended. It is important that the complete dose of antibody is delivered. If the investigator is not experienced with tail vein injections, we recommended a number of practice injections of saline in sham rats before going forward antibody experiments. Disease will be noticeable within 2 weeks by increased proteinuria and histological alterations in glomerular structures.
