HISTOPATHOLOGICAL AND IMMUNOFLUORESCENT STUDIES IN CERTAIN SKIN DISORDERS

Clinical, Histopathological and Immunofluorescent Findings of IgA Nephropathy

Background: IgA nephropathy, a prevalent disease in Asia, is considered the main cause of end stage renal disease among primary glomerular disease. Objective: To determine the frequency of different clinical, histopathological and immunofluorescent characteristics of IgA nephropathy. Methods: Renal biopsies of 376 patients were received for immunofluorescent and for histopathological studies. B...

Immunofluorescent Studies in Human Leukemia1

High-speed (80,000 X g) pellets of plasma from leukemic patients and from normal individuals were used to prepare antisera in rabbits. The leukemic plasma pellets contained virus-like particles as determined by electron microscopy, whereas similar particles were not observed in the normal pellets. Globulin fractions from six antisera to normal pellets (NPA) and six antisera to leukemic pellets ...

Comment on: clinical, histopathological and immunofluorescent findings of IgA nephropathy.

We read with interest the recently published article by Tipu et al. entitled “Clinical, histopathological and immunofluorescent findings of IgA nephropathy”, in the esteemed Iranian Journal of Immunology (1). The study described frequency of different clinical, histopathological and immunofluorescent characteristics of IgA nephropathy. The authors should be applauded for their findings; however...
