OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) induced by IgA1 from Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) patients. METHODS HUVEC were cultured in 3 different conditional media with IgA1 from HSP patients, normal healthy children and simply the cell culture

OBJECTIVE To examine O-linked glycosylation of serum IgA1 in children with acute Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP). METHODS The O-linked oligosaccharides of serum IgA1 from 28 children with acute HSP and 26 control children were examined by enzyme immunoassay using plant lectins with well defined

BACKGROUND The presence and the pathogenetic role of circulating IgA reacting with neutrophil cytoplasmic antigens (IgA-ANCA) in patients with Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is still debated. This study was aimed to investigate some characteristics of serum IgA and macromolecular IgA in HSP

OBJECTIVE It had been shown that apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells played an important role in the pathogenesis of HSP. The present study was designed to investigate the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells induced by isolated IgA1 from sera of HSP patients. METHODS HUVEC were cultured in 3
