Post-transcriptional gene regulation plays an important role in the expression of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Cytokine secretion by activated lymphocytes or mast cells is preceded by dramatic stabilization of the normally labile GM-CSF mRNA. The 3'-untranslated region of GM-CSF and other labile mRNAs contain the destabilizing motif adenosine-uridine-uridine-uridine-adenosine (AUUUA).

This report describes the occurrence of immune complex glomerulonephritis in a patient with eosinophilic gastroenteritis and food hypersensitivity. A coincident allergen injection may have been a contributing factor in the sudden development of the nephrotic syndrome. Markedly elevated levels of circulating immune complexes (greater than 6400 mg/dl) were found containing kappa-casein and bovine serum albumin (BSA), the latter predominating.
