Clinical Significance of Galactose-Deficient IgA1 by KM55 in Patients with IgA Nephropathy [PDF]
Background: Aberrant galactose-deficient IgA1 molecules (Gd-IgA1) are important causal factors in IgA nephropathy (IgAN); however, the detection of Gd-IgA1 in IgAN is complicated and instable. A monoclonal antibody, KM55, which specifically recognizes Gd-

INTRODUCTION: Aberrant O-linked glycosylation of the IgA hinge segment resulting in galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) is frequently observed in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN), and it is hypothesized to be pathogenic. Here, we genetically disrupted

Glomerular Galactose-Deficient IgA1 Deposition in 192 Autopsy Cases in Japan. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aim Glomerular IgA deposition is incidentally observed in asymptomatic individuals; however, it remains unclear whether these cases represent a preclinical stage of IgA nephropathy (IgAN).

Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with elevated galactose-deficient IgA1 in IgA nephropathy. [PDF]
Mucosal immunity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). This study aimed to investigate if infection of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a common bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, associated with IgAN. This study included 261 patients with IgAN and 46 healthy controls.

Interaction between GALNT12 and C1GALT1 Associates with Galactose-Deficient IgA1 and IgA Nephropathy. [PDF]
Significance Statement Galactose-deficient IgA1 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. Although variability in serum levels of galactose-deficient IgA1 has a strong genetic component, the genetic link between this molecule and IgA nephropathy has not yet been clearly determined.

ELL2 Is Downregulated and Associated with Galactose-Deficient IgA1 in IgA Nephropathy. [PDF]
Background. Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) is an important causal factor in IgA nephropathy; however, the underlying mechanism for the production of Gd-IgA1 is unknown. The elongation factor for RNA polymerase II (ELL2), which encoded a key component of the superelongation complex (SEC), drives secretory-specific Ig mRNA production. Methods.

Plasma Galactose-Deficient IgA1 and C3 and CKD Progression in IgA Nephropathy. [PDF]
Background and objectives Increased circulating galactose-deficient IgA1 and subsequently complement activation both play important roles in the pathophysiology of IgA nephropathy. However, their relationship to disease severity and progression remains unclear.

Pathogenesis of IgA Vasculitis: An Up-To-Date Review
Immunoglobin A (IgA) vasculitis (IgAV), formerly called the Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), is a small vessel vasculitis, characterized by IgA1-dominant immune deposition at diseased vessel walls.
