In vitro enhanced chemotaxis of CD25+ mononuclear cells in patients with familial IgAN through glomerulotubular interactions.

Abstract excerpt

Tubulointerstitial infiltration of immunocompetent cells is often associated with a more rapid progression in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Using an in vitro Transwell coculture system, we examined the chemotactic response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC) following activation by conditioned medium prepared from mesangial cells cultured with macromolecular IgA1 from 60...
