The M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is a target autoantigen in adult idiopathic
membranous nephropathy (MN), but the prevalence of autoantibodies against PLA2R is …

Although recent studies showed anti-PLA2R antibody plays a crucial role in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy (IMN), detailed HLA mapping and interaction between the HLA …

Primary (or idiopathic) membranous nephropathy is an organ-specific autoimmune disease
in which circulating antibodies to a conformation-dependent epitope in the target antigen …

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a common cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. Recent
clinical studies established that> 70% of patients with idiopathic (also called primary) MN …

Epitopes of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), the target antigen in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy (iMN), must be presented by the HLA–encoded MHC class II …

The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R1) is the major autoantigen in primary membranous
nephropathy. Several PLA2R1 epitopes have been characterized, and a retrospective study …

Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy is a major cause of the nephrotic
syndrome in adults, but its etiologic basis is not fully understood. We investigated the genetic …

The phospholipase A 2 receptor (PLA 2 R) is the major target antigen in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy. The technique for measuring antibodies against PLA 2 R and …

Aim The phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) is the major target antigen in idiopathic
membranous nephropathy (iMN). The aim of this prospective study was to determine the …

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (MN) is associated with HLA; however, the HLA allele
involved remains unknown. To identify the HLA risk alleles associated with phospholipase …
