IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of chronic glomerulonephritis. Although glomerular deposition of complement components is well known, the evidence of serological complement activation in IgAN is inconclusive. We hypothesized that serum levels of complement components and regulatory pr

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
