ABSTRACT:
The present invention dedicates to detect nephritis in early stage of either primary or secondary nephritis using an anti NC1 monoclonal antibody. The present invention dedicates to provide useful information for diagnosis of renal function to detect NC1 by immunofluorescent stain method in renal biopsy section obtained at early stage where immunoglobulins do not deposit yet in renal GBM etc, or by antigen-antibody reaction in urine or serum specimens. Furthermore, the present invention comprises to utilize for therapeutic use.
