Exaggerated systemic antibody response to mucosal Helicobacter pylori infection in IgA nephropathy
Abstract
Numerous studies in the literature report aberrant immune responsiveness in immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. However, all these studies investigate immune responses invoked by an artificially engineered antigen challenge. For the first time in IgA nephropathy, we report the systemic humoral responses generated as part of an active mucosal immune response against a common environmental pathogen, Helicobacter pylori (Hp). We studied 22 …
