Anti–Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease
Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease is a rare autoimmune small vessel vasculitis characterized by autoreactivity to antigens in type IV collagen chains expressed in glomerular and alveolar basement membrane. The detection of circulating anti-GBM antibodies, which are shown to be directly pathogenic, is central to disease diagnosis ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...
