Abstract
These data suggested that the established system provides simple and useful tools for monitoring of cross-talk between macrophages and mesangial cells in vitro and ex vivo. This approach would be useful for investigation of molecular mechanisms involved in mesangial cell-macrophage interaction and also for screening of therapeutic agents that efficiently interfere with the link between infiltrating leukocytes and resident glomerular cells.
