Urine samples were collected weekly or before euthanasia and analyzed as described before (19 (link)) for proteinuria using Multistix 10 SG (Bayer). Kidney sections fixed in 10% buffered formalin were paraffin embedded and stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H & E) at the University of Virginia Research Histology Core. The sections were scored in a blinded manner on a scale of 0 to 4 for abnormalities (glomerular hypertrophy, mesangial expansion, mononuclear infiltrates and tubulo-interstitial inflammation), as 0 (no abnormality), 1 (less than 20%), 2 (20 to 40%), 3 (40 to 60%), and 4 (more than 60%) of 200x magnified field with above-mentioned abnormalities. IgG, C3, IgG2a and IgG2b deposition in kidneys was analyzed by direct immunofluorescence as before (19 (link)). Briefly, frozen sections of mouse kidneys were fixed in methanol at −20°C for 10 min, blocked with 2% normal goat serum in PBS containing 3% BSA, and then stained with goat anti mouse IgG-FITC, goat anti mouse IgG2a-TXRD, goat anti mouse IgG2b-TXRD (Southern Biotech) and goat anti-mouse Complement C3-FITC (MP Biomedicals). The frozen sections stained for immune complex deposits were analyzed by immunofluorescence captured in 200x amplified images from at least 30 random glomeruli for each group and quantitated using ImageJ software and expressed as total immunofluorescence.

As described previously (8 (link)), IHC was performed for renal IgG deposition. For detection of SOCS1, paraffin sections were incubated with rabbit anti-mouse SOCS1 (2 µg/ml; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and then with polymer-horseradish peroxidase conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1 µg/ml; DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark). A brown color was developed with 3,30-diaminobenzidine chromogen substrate (DAKO).
Immunofluorescence was carried out for both IgG deposition and SOCS1 expression in frozen sections. Routinely processed sections were incubated with rabbit anti-mouse SOCS1 and then fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (2 µg/ml; Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA) in order, or directly with goat anti-mouse IgG-FITC (Southern Biotech) alone. Sections were viewed under a digital fluorescent microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Histological Assessment of Glomerulonephritis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four weeks after the first HgCl2 injection, kidneys were harvested from mice and embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT compound (Sakura, Torrance, CA) and snap-frozen on dry ice. A cryostat microtome was used to cut 4 µm sections. The sections were air dried, fixed with cold acetone and stained with goat anti-mouse IgG FITC (Southern Biotechnology Associates, Birmingham, AL) to detect IgG deposits. Glomerulonephritis was scored in a blinded fashion using 1–4 scale based on the percentage of glomeruli affected. The grading scale was 0 =  no glomerulonephritis, 1+ ≤15%, 2+16–40%, 3+41–70%, and 4+ >70% of glomeruli affected. The lesions graded included thickening of the mesangium, noticeable increases in both mesangial and glomerular cellularity with/without superimposed inflammatory exudates and capsular adhesions, glomerulosclerosis, and cast formation. Scoring was performed on at least 200 glomeruli in a 40× field per kidney [32] (link). Immune complex deposition in kidneys was quantified by blinded observers and arbitrarily scored from 0 to 4 dependent on the intensity and amount of the anti-IgG staining in the glomeruli [32] (link).

Serum and fecal anti-dsDNA IgG, IgM and IgA were quantified by ELISA with 1:100 dilutions as previously described14 (link). Anti-dsDNA IgG were also visualized on Crithidia luciliae slides (Bio-Rad) with serum diluted 1:10 followed by an incubation with goat anti-mouse IgG-FITC (1:100; Southern Biotech). Images were acquired on an inverted fluorescence microscope (Olympus). The corrected total cell fluorescence (https://theolb.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#) from each Crithidia luciliae cell was quantified with ImageJ. IL-6 or IFN-γ were quantitated with BD Biosciences ELISA kits in serum samples diluted 1:50 assayed in duplicate. The absorbance was detected with the Promega GloMax® Explorer microplate reader at 450 nm.

Proteinuria, glomerulonephritis, interstitial renal disease, and dermatitis were evaluated exactly as previously described [11 ] by individuals blinded to the genotypes of the animals.
HEp-2 antinuclear antibody assays were performed using Kallestad HEp-2 slides (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) as a substrate. Serum samples were diluted to 1/100 in 1x PBS, 1% BSA, 0.05% sodium azide, and bound autoantibodies were detected using goat anti-mouse IgG-FITC (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL). Samples were scored for the dominant staining pattern, presence or absence of mitotic chromatin staining, and relative cytoplasmic staining intensity by an individual blinded to the genotypes of the samples.
Autoantibody and total IgM and IgG ELISAs were performed essentially as previously described [11 ]. Samples were assayed over a total of eight three-fold dilutions starting at 1/100 for anti-nucleosome and anti-Sm ELISAs, four three-fold dilutions starting at 1/100 for anti-RNA and anti-IgG2a rheumatoid factor ELISAs, and eight three-fold dilutions starting at 1/5000 for total IgM ELISA or 1/50000 for total IgG ELISA. ELISA standards were purified PL2-3 and BWR4 antibodies, hybridoma supernatants from Y2 and 400tμ23 cultures, or purified unconjugated IgM,κ and IgG1,κ isotype control antibodies (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ).
