Induction of nephrocalcinosis in rabbit kidneys after long-term exposure to a streptococcal teichoic acid

R L Waltersdorff et al. Infect Immun. 1977 Sep.

Abstract

New Zealand white rabbits were administered soluble lipoteichoic acid from Streptococcus pyogenes 1-RP41 on alternate days for up to 30 days. An increased incidence of renal cortico-medullary calculi was observed after day 21; the use of fluorescent-labeled anti-teichoic acid antibody located teichoic acid predominantly in the cortical-associated tubules.
