Accumulation of immunoglobulin and complement components within the kidneys is a hallmark of glomerulonephritis. Staining and detection of IgG, IgA, IgM, and C3 deposits can assist in diagnosing the underlying causes of nephritis and has implications for the pathological processes underpinning glomerulonephritis. Here, we describe a protocol to detect immune deposits within biological specimens such as mouse kidneys. We detail tissue isolation and processing, immunostaining, and fluorescence microscopy to characterize and quantify the extent of immunological deposits contributing to kidney injury. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Jiang et al. (2021).
