## Abstract A test was set up to analyze the direct binding of serum IgA to the lectin jacalin. Under the testing conditions, jacalin bound to both IgA subclasses and reacted similarly with monomeric and polymeric IgA. A jacalin index was defined to quantify serum IgA binding to this lectin. The ja
The mechanism of mesangial IgA deposition is poorly understood in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Abnormal glycosylation of carbohydrate moieties in the hinge region of the IgA molecule has recently attracted much attention. In this report, we studied galactosylation and sialylation profiles in ΞΊand Ξ»-IgA 1
The levels of serum interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with IgA nephropathy. The aim of the present study was to determine if levels of serum IL-2R might correlate with disease activity in patients with IgA nephropathy. Twenty-eight p
We have determined the individual kappa (K)/lambda (k) ratios of serum IgG, IgA, and IgM in normal subjects and patients with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, hepatic cirrhosis and IgA nephropathy --40 in each group. Serum samples were first screened by agarose electrophoresis to
