The nephrotoxic serum nephritis (NTN) model is an integral part of experimental
glomerulonephritis (GN) research. Here, we discuss how the murine NTN model can be
induced and effectively used to mimic an immune complex-mediated GN. Further, we
differentiate between heterologous and autologous models by comparing pathophysiology
and phenotypic manifestations.
