The Role of IgA in the Pathogenesis of IgA Nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is the most abundant antibody isotype produced in humans, predominantly present in the mucosal areas where its main functions are the neutralization of toxins, prevention of microbial invasion across the mucosal epithelial barrier, and simultaneous maintenance of a physiologically indispensable symbiotic relationship with ...

IgA and the IgA Fc receptor

Trends in Immunology, 2001
IgA has traditionally been regarded a non-inflammatory antibody. This might indeed be true for secretory IgA (SIgA), which exerts its function at mucosal surfaces where commensal microorganisms and dietary antigens prevail. Serum IgA, however, potently triggers (pro)-inflammatory activity upon binding to the myeloid IgA receptor, FcalphaRI.

Role of macromolecular IgA in IgA nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesKidney International, 2005
Primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common form of primary glomerulonephritis, leading to progressive renal failure in almost one third of the patients. The disease is characterized by mesangial deposits of IgA. The pathogenesis of IgAN remains incompletely understood.

IgA nephropathy [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016
Globally, IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis that can progress to renal failure. The exact pathogenesis of IgAN is not well defined, but current biochemical and genetic data implicate overproduction of aberrantly glycosylated IgA1.

Serum IgA Class Anti-IgA Antibody in IgA Nephropathy

Nephron, 2008
IgA class anti-IgA antibody was sought by an immunoabsorbent technique in sera from patients with IgA nephropathy (IgA-N, n = 62), other forms of primary glomerulonephritis (PGN, n = 41), seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RF-positive, n = 18) and normal controls (c, n = 50).
