Abstract excerpt
Introduction: Activation of complement through the alternative pathway (AP) has a key role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN). We previously showed, by intraperitoneal injection of Lactobacillus casei cell wall extract (LCWE), C57BL/6 mice develop mild kidney damage in association with glomerular IgA deposition. To further address complement activity in causing glomerular histological alterations as...
