چکیده
Partial lipodystrophy is known to be associated with mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis. A case is described of a possible association of partial lipodystrophy with anti-GBM nephritis (Goodpasture's syndrome).

Glomerulonephritis induced in sheep by immunization with human glomerular basement membrane.
The specificity of the anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibodies in experimental nephritis in sheep (Steblay's nephritis) was studied and compared with the specificity of antibodies in human anti-GBM nephritis (Goodpasture's syndrome). Sheep were injected monthly with isolated human GBM and antibody reactivities with isolated human and sheep GBM proteins were quantified with ELISA. Exp...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of the Goodpasture autoantigen in anti-GBM nephritis.
BACKGROUND In Goodpasture's disease, circulating autoantibodies bind to the noncollagenous-1 (NC1) domain of type IV collagen in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). The specificity and molecular architecture of epitopes of tissue-bound autoantibodies are unknown. Alport's post-transplantation nephritis, which is mediated by alloantibodies against the GBM, occurs after kidney transplantation...
متن کاملCharacterization of human anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies eluted from glomerulonephritic kidneys.
Eluates from glomerulonephritic kidneys of nine patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM)-mediated nephritis were studied to define their antigenic specificity and content of kidney-fixing antibodies. Five of these patients had Goodpasture's syndrome with pulmonary and renal involvement clinically; four patients did not. All had in vivo fixation of IgG in the characteristic lin...
متن کاملThe Role of Anti-glomerular Basement Membrane Antibody in the Pathogenesis of Human Glomerulonephritis
These observations established the presence of anti-GBM antibodies in the sera and/or kidneys of six humans with glomerulonephritis. Further, it seems clear that these antibodies do combine with the host's glomeruli in vivo and with GBM antigen of several species in vitro. Transfer of acute glomerulonephritis to normal recipient monkeys was possible with serum or renal eluate IGG from the three...
متن کاملAcute Immune Mesangial Injury : a New Model of Glomerulonephritis
A number of experimental immunologic models of glomerulonephritis have been devised in animals in order to better understand mechanisms of immune glomerular injury. From these studies two general pathogenic categories have been defined (1). The first, immune complex injury, involves the interaction of circulating host or foreign antigen with antibody resulting in the formation of soluble comple...
