IgA1-secreting cell lines from patients with IgA nephropathy produce aberrantly glycosylated IgA1
Suzuki, Hitoshi, Moldoveanu, Zina, Hall, Stacy, Brown, Rhubell, Vu, Huong L., Novak, Lea, ...
Aberrant glycosylation of IgA1 plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy. This abnormality is manifested by a deficiency of galactose in the hinge-region O-linked glycans of...
