Identification of a pathogenic epitope involved in initiation of Heymann nephritis.
1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
Heymann nephritis is an experimental autoimmune disease model for human membranous nephropathy. We have recently identified a pathogenic epitope, clone 14 (C14), responsible for formation and deposition of glomerular immune complexes that is contained within the small subunit of the Heymann nephritis antigenic complex (HNAC). HNAC is a heterodimer composed of a large subunit designated gp330 and a smaller (44...
