Prognostic value of PLA2R autoimmunity detected by measurement of anti-PLA2R antibodies combined with detection of PLA2R antigen in membranous nephropathy: A single-centre study over 14 years. [PDF]
INTRODUCTION:Clinical course of membranous nephropathy (MN) is difficult to predict. Measurement of circulating anti-PLA2R autoantibodies (PLA2R-Ab) and detection in immune deposits of PLA2R antigen (PLA2R-Ag) are major advances in disease understanding.

The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is the major target antigen (Ag) in idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN). Recently, several types of immunoassay systems for anti-PLA2R antibody (Ab) have been developed.

The value of PLA2R antigen and IgG subclass staining relative to anti-PLA2R seropositivity in the differential diagnosis of membranous nephropathy [PDF]
Background The diagnostic performance of PLA2R and IgG subclass staining of kidney biopsies relative to anti-PLA2R seropositivity in the differentiation of primary and secondary membranous nephropathy (pMN, sMN) was examined.

Anti-PLA2R Antibodies as a Prognostic Factor in PLA2R-Related Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The natural course of idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN) varies, as it is known through favorable outcomes in most patients. However, one third of patients with idiopathic MN will slowly progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). To prevent disease progression, patients at high risk to develop ESRD

PLA2R binds to the annexin A2-S100A10 complex in human podocytes
Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is a member of the mannose receptor family found in podocytes in human kidney. PLA2R is the target of the autoimmune disease, membranous nephropathy, characterised by production of anti-PLA2R autoantibodies which bind to

The application of podocyte antigen M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R, GAg) and serum anti-PLA2R antibody (SAb) in predicting the prognosis of membrane nephropathy (MN) was controversial. 328 biopsy-proven MN patients were divided into three phenotypes, 182 MN patients with GAg+/SAb+, 118 MN patients with GAg+/SAb-, and 28 MN patients with GAg ...

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) with deposits of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antigen in glomerular tissue (GAg+) but no circulating serum PLA2R antibody (SAb-) has been reported. However, little is known about the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of this subtype.A total of 74 IMN patients with GAg + identified by kidney ...
