We studied the effect of fibronectin (FN) on the course of chronic nephritis (induced by daily injections of ovalbumin) and on the clearance and catabolism of immune complexes in Wistar rats. Rats with chronic nephritis were treated with FN (2.5 mg/kg/48 hours) for 15 days after proteinuria was firs
