Mercuric chloride (HgCl2) induces an autoimmune syndrome in Brown Norway (BN) rats characterized by the presence of a number of autoantibodies, including antibodies to glomerular basement membrane. Tissue injury has previously been reported to be rare in this model, but in the accompanying paper we describe changes in a number of organs including a necrotizing leucocytoclastic vasculitis in the gut. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of the target antigens for anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibodies, that are present in the majority of patients with the human autoimmune disease systemic vasculitis and have been implicated in pathogenesis. There is at present, no animal model for anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody positive systemic vasculitis.
